Azure identity platform pricing for users in saml athentication.What kind of Azure account support for this feature.

I have an Azure DevOps server on-premises and I have written a small application that simply queries its API to get information from the Azure server. There is no authentication at the user level, since the application only displays information and does not POST/PUT/DELETE.
To query the API, I have used my PAT (personal access token), but this is not ideal. I have read that on the cloud version of Azure, you can just register the application to do it, but I have not found the same functionality for the on-premises version.
Am I missing something? Is the only alternative creating a technical user on the LDAP and get a PAT for it?

Yes, you are right.
Authorize access to REST APIs with OAuth 2.0
So 'App auth' is only supported in Azure DevOps Services (VSTS), not supported in Azure DevOps server (TFS).
I want to get all PATs via REST from Azure DevOps Server (on-premise). The REST API Docs show only access to Azure DevOps Services (hosted) with this URI
https://vssps.dev.azure.com/{organization}/_apis/tokenadmin/personalaccesstokens/{subjectDescriptor}?api-version=7.1-preview.1
How do I access the security areas (Identities, Accounts, etc.) via REST in Azure DevOps Server?
You could visit the page below for the token administration rest api.
Token Administration REST API for Azure DevOps Services - Azure DevOps Services REST API | Microsoft Learn
And you can check the api for the different workspaces with the dropdown list below.
1.List Personal Access Tokens
GET https://{instance}/{collection}/_apis/tokenadmin/personalaccesstokens/{subjectDescriptor}?api-version=6.0-preview.1
2.Read identities
GET https://{instance}/{collection}/_apis/identities?api-version=6.0
3.For security

I'm developing an extension that runs within a work item.
Is there a way I can acquire an AAD token for the current logged in user, which can be used to authenticate to an AAD protected backend service like Azure App Service/Key Vault etc?
I'm afraid you can't do that directly. Azure Devops Service and Azure are not the same things.
We can use VSS SDK and azure-devops-extension-api to get Azure-devops related info(AccessToken for Azure Devops Service,Org info, Project info, User info), but we can't get AAD token using these related api cause these apis are for Azure Devops Service.
I tried Generic type service connection, which seems to support only basic authentication (username/password).
Appreciate any guidance!!

We don't currently support MFA with the connector.
You could take a look at official doc here-- Manage Conditional Access to Azure DevOps
Azure DevOps enforces the policy for usage of personal access tokens
(PATs), alternate authentication, OAuth, and SSH keys.
For third-party client flow, like using a PAT with git.exe, we only
support IP fencing policies - we don't support MFA policies.
Can someone please explain the major differences between IBM Tivoli Access Manager and Tivoli Federated Identity Manager?
Does TAM support SAML?
Updated Answer: SAML is now supported with ISAM v9.
The names and versions of the products have been updated/changed. Basically, TFIM and TAM are now old names and products. All of the functionality and code of TFIM has been rolled into to ISAM v9. ISAM v9 now has Web, AAC, and Federation components. (ISAM v8 did not have the Federation componentm ISAM 8 only had Web and Mobile)
ISAM 9 Web - reverse proxy that handles authentication/authorization to back-end web servers
ISAM 9 AAC (Advanced Access Control) - more advanced authorization functions tailored toward mobile devices like device fingerprinting, geolocation awareness, and IP reputation
ISAM 9 Federation - all the old TFIM code with updates
old Tivoli Access Manager (TAM) -> new IBM Security Access Manager (ISAM)
old Tivoli Federated Identity Manager -> new ISAM v9 Federation
I will elaborate a bit more since nzpcmad 's answer fails to address TFIM at all.
IBM Tivoli Access Manager ( now IBM Security Access Manager) handles the authentication and authorization part of your IAM infastructure.
IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager allows for federated and web Single Sign On. It can be used with ISAM, for example in a scenario that ISAM delegates the authentication part to TFIM for certain resources/cases.
ISAM does not speak SAML by itself, but it can leverage TFIM that does.
Other than that, you would have to ask something more specific in order to get concrete answers.
In general, an Identity Manager provisions users into an identity repository e.g. AD / LDAP. It also provides password self-service etc. The provisioning includes user attributes and roles.
An Access Manager provides authentication (using the identity repository) and authorization based on the users attributes, roles and credentials provisioned by the Identity Manager.
