We are working on E2E tests for a web app that uses Azure AD and requires MFA code from a mobile Authenticator app during login. Is there any programmatic implementation of such Authenticator that we can use during user registration and subsequently in our automated tests? Changing login procedure is not an option.
Authenticator app is always used to get the authorization of a user which is already registered or added in the Azure AD by the administrator for a particular access of an application.
It cannot be implemented programmatically to automate for authenticator code. Because the purpose of MFA will be lost. MFA came into picture to avoid the malware attack or unauthorize access of an application. so, this is not possible right now and even it won't be possible in future as well.

I have a multi tenant enterprise app. It authorises a few graph API permissions when installed and has SAML SSO configured. The whole idea is that my customers can install this and in one process grant my application access to their tenant, and setup SSO for that customers users.
The graph API permissions work totally as expected, I get the needed access to the tenants who installed the app.
Then there is the SAML SSO part. That's just totally not working. In my test tenant where I installed my app, it says that the app has SAML SSO and that it is only application owner who can configure - all fine.
I then try to log in (to the web app using this SSO configuration) with a user from my test tenant - no luck!
First I thought that it had to do with the user not being assigned the app, but it complains the the application in tenant A is not available for user in my test tenant and the user should be added to tenant A. That of course is not a solution since I want to use this for customers.
So right now I am stuck with 2 app's. One gallery app for SAML SSO and my app granting API permissions. It works, but it just seems SO stupid. Isn't there a better way?
Azure AD SAML applications are not intended to be multi-tenant, this is why you need to invite external users as guests.
It's worth to mention it's possible for an Azure AD app to support both OIDC/OAuth2 and SAML and thus rely on the same session cookie to obtain an access token for MS Graph.
If you need multi-tenancy, you should use modern protocols such as OpenID Connect for authentication and OAuth2 for authorization. MS Graph relies on JWT access token anyways.
can I login a user to AAD without using an App Registration?
My problem is the following:
I am currently writing a python module that wraps the Power BI REST API.
Everything works fine if I register an app in AAD and authenticate via Client ID and Client Secret.
I would like to enable a user login, so that a user logs in with their credentials and can run the script with the privileges assigned to their account.
MSAL seems to support that with a PublicClientApplication and the acquire_token_interactive method. It still expects a Client ID, though.
My issue is that I would like to distribute my python module to other developers, without them having to register an app in AAD first.
After all, I can use the MicrosoftPowerBiMgmt PowerShell module without first registering an app.
How can I do that? Is there an authentication flow that does not need an App Registration?
It is not possible to authenticate user without App registration with OAUTH and OPENID connect, multi-tenant authentication means a template which will be deployed on multiple tenants with same client-id and secret
I'm new to Protractor and am wanting to write C# tests that run against an Angular 8 application. The problem is, the application uses Azure AD for authentication and I don't know the correct approach to authenticate automatically when running the test. If I navigate to the application URL it redirects to the Microsoft login page for authentication but I can't seem to access this.
You can use the libraries given by Microsoft to implement applications for authenticating to Azure.MSAL is one of the libreary whiich is best to use. If you want to use MSAL to acquire a token, you need to:
Register an application in Azure AD.
Add target API, and grant consent to select permissions.
Generate a secret key.
Then you can get a token as Acquire a token and call Microsoft Graph API.
However, I think what you really want is to integrate AAD. You can easily enable AAD authentication for your .NET web application. It uses OWIN middleware.
I've got a single page application that currently uses Azure AD B2C authentication to allow users to sign in, and then use the auth cookies to talk directly to internal services. There is now a requirement that we use two factor auth on top of the existing AD auth. We've already rolled our own 'second factor' auth, and we need to be able to integrate with that (I'd much rather use the built in MFA that Azure provides, but for this question assume that isn't an option).
Our issue is that we don't want to call our MFA service until the user has authenticated succesfully with AD - but of course, once they have, they are already authenticated, and it's too late.
When Azure AD hands back to us via the call back (we are using CookieAuthenticationEvents), is there any way to defer the access token being available until our own second factor auth step succeeds?
Just as juunas suggested, try to use custom polices which are designed primarily to address complex scenarios.
Reference:
Custom policies in Azure Active Directory B2C
I am working on an ASP.Net MVC application which will handle two types of users
External Users (Need to authenticate using Azure B2C with username as login instead of email as login)
Internal Users (which already exist in Corporate Azure AD)
What is the right way of implementing it?
One option is to run two separate instances of the application configured against each IDP. Keep each type of user stick to one app instance.
I tried to register AD and AD B2C in one app by registering two OpenIdConnect services but having problems when the user tries to access a resource without first logging into the application. Without knowing the type of the user I cannot specify AuthenticationSchema in the Authorize tag.
I am sure people have done this before so if you someone who knows how to do it, then please guide me..
