How to the Azure AD v1.0 Sign-On Authentication Request is process by Azure AD service?

When Azure AD v1.0 service receives a Sign-On Authentication Request from an end user's Web browser, it will:

• Verify if the "client_id" value in the request is valid. If not, display an error message page to the end user.
• Search a valid login session from Web browser's cookies that matches the AD (Active Directory) associated with your "client_id".
• Generate the authentication response with the login session information, if a valid login session is found.
• Display a login Web page to the end user, if no valid login session found.
• Generate the authentication response with the login session information, when the end user finishes the login process to the AD (Active Directory) associated with your "client_id".
• Verify if the "redirect_uri" value in the request is valid, after the authentication response is generated. If not, display an error message page to the end user.
• Redirect the Web browser to "redirect_uri" with the authentication response.

Note that the authentication request includes "response_type", "response_mode", and other parameters to control how the authentication response should be generated.

If you provides incorrect parameters in the authentication request, Azure AD service will return "error" and "error_description" in the authentication response.
