I have searched far and wide to find out how I can change the settings of my Microsoft Graph app so I only allow login from my own domain.
Since the login from Graph takes all Microsoft accounts i've been looking into different solutions, all from finding custom token endpoints to changing the application manifest.
In my manifest I can find this "signInAudience": "AzureADandPersonalMicrosoftAccount" - but I can't find in the documentation what other options there are.
also on this Microsoft page I can find this information
The overall solution comprises the following components:
Azure AD – If the Restrict-Access-To-Tenants: <permitted tenant list> is present, Azure AD only issues security tokens for the permitted tenants.
Is there any good guides online or anyone who knows how i can restrict access to people signing in either with #xxxxx.comonly or xxxxx.onmicrosoft.com accounts?
I think you're misunderstanding how Microsoft Graph works. It connects to the tenant/domain of the user authenticating. So if I authenticate with user#contoso.com, the application will only have access to the contoso.com tenant.
In terms of the authentication process itself, this is handled by Azure AD. Microsoft Graph simply accepts the token AAD returns. You can limit this process to users from a given tenant by changing the /Authorization and /Token URLs your app is using.
In most cases, apps use the /common tenant. When a user authenticates against /common, AAD handles discovering the user's actual tenant/domain and routes the request to that AAD instance for processing. These URLs look like this:
https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize
https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/token
If you want to limit authentication to a single tenant, you can skip the discovery process and force AAD/OAuth to authenticate against a single AAD tenant. Only users that exist in that tenant will be able to authenticate. This is done by swapping /common with tenant's id:
https://login.microsoftonline.com/xxxxx.onmicrosoft.com/oauth2/v2.0/authorize
https://login.microsoftonline.com/xxxxx.onmicrosoft.com/oauth2/v2.0/token

I have been doing some R&D on using the MicrosoftGraphAPI to fetch the skus subscribed by my organization.
I have created an app as described in the documentation. I did all the steps in the above link except 'Assign application to role'.
Using postman am able to get the oauth2 token by sending a post request using the link
https://login.microsoftonline.com/<mytenantid>/oauth2/token
with the client_id, client_secret, resource(https://graph.microsoft.com) and grant_type(client_credentials) parameters.
After this token is obtained I can fire a get request https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/subscribedSkus with the Authorization header set as Bearer {token} which will return the SKUs subscribed by my organization.
So far so good. :-)
Now the requirement is I need to fetch the subscribed SKUs by one of the client (let's say having the azure ad tenant id 'ABCDEFG') of my organization.
I can successfully do that by registering an app in the client's tenant 'ABCDEFG' with the same steps as above.
This approach is fine if my organization has say 1 or 2 clients.
However, if the client numbers are more than say 30 this approach of registering an application in each Azure AD instance is not feasible.
If the application that I registered in my organizations AAD was multi-tenant then how should it help me?
What will be the steps needed to obtain the access token for each tenant?
Can somebody assist with some detailed explanation?
Since you need application-level access, you would assign one of the Application permissions listed in the documentation for getting SKUs: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/api-reference/v1.0/api/subscribedsku_list.
Directory.Read.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All
In this case you should require the Read Directory Data (Directory.Read.All) application permission.
Then you mark your app as multi-tenanted.
Now then in order for another org to use your app, they will have to be on-boarded.
You will need some kind of page where their administrator can click a button/link to start using your app.
This should redirect the admin to:
https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize?client_id=your-client-id&prompt=admin_consent&response_type=code+id_token&redirect_uri=url-where-to-send-user-back
Once they sign in, they will be presented with a consent screen, where they can approve the permissions that your app requires.
If and when they do that, they will be redirected back to your app (to the URL you specified) and you can use the Id token to know which Azure AD tenant registered.
During this process a service principal for your app is created in their tenant, and the required permission is granted to it.
This means you can then get an access token for their tenant from: (using the same credentials)
https://login.microsoftonline.com/their-tenant-id/oauth2/token
Remember that access tokens are specific to an Azure AD tenant, so you will have to get an access token for each tenant.
One thing I would like to point out is that you should instead try to use delegated permissions if possible.
The application permission given here gives quite large access to your app, and some admins might not use your service for that reason alone.
Delegated permissions are more complex to handle, but allow your app to act on behalf of a user instead of purely as itself.
I created a "Web app / API" app in our organization's "xxx.onmicrosoft.com" Azure Active Directory. The app's "Multi-tenanted" property has been set to "Yes".
We configured OpenID Connect (we use https://github.com/mitreid-connect/) to use the following URLs:
https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize
https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/token
Please note that we used "common" in the URLs and we didn't use "xxx.onmicrosoft.com" because we want people from outside "xxx.onmicrosoft.com" to be able to authenticate and access our app.
With those settings, the people from xxx.onmicrosoft.com can properly authenticate and access the app.
However, when I use my personal live.com account (with username xxx#gmail.com) to access the app, I get AADSTS50020 error. I am able to properly authenticate with my xxx#gmail.com account, but I do not get redirected to the Reply URL. I'm stuck on Microsoft's Web page with the following error msg:
AADSTS50020: User account 'xxx#gmail.com' from identity provider
'live.com' does not exist in tenant 'xxx.onmicrosoft.com' and cannot
access the application '391e7103-ZZZZ-zz87-xxxx-7xxxxxd5xxxx' in that
tenant. The account needs to be added as an external user in the
tenant first. Sign out and sign in again with a different Azure Active
Directory user account.
What configuration do I need to change if I want people from any identity provider to be able to access my app ?
Like it has been stated here, I expected that people from anywhere could access my app without requiring more configuration on my side.
I'm asking this question because I'm in the process of getting certified for AppSource and this currently blocks me from being able to do so.
AppSource only requires work accounts to sign-in. You are using an #gmail account - which is a personal account - and because you are using the Azure Active Directory v1 endpoint in addition to common (https://login.microsoftonline.com/common), it can't accept personal accounts to sign-in directly - only work accounts.
You have three options:
If sign-in personal accounts is not a requirement for your application, then you can continue using the v1 endpoint and use a work account to sign-in/test your application. This will make you ready for AppSource certification.
If you need/ want to allow personal accounts in your application in addition to work accounts, then you can consider using the v2 endpoint (https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/v2.0) for Azure Active Directory. The v2 endpoint allow both personal accounts and work accounts to sign-in with no effort.A note is the v2 endpoint has some limitations: if you can live with these limitations (for example, your application only needs to sign-in users and eventually make queries against Graph API), then in general it should be fine to use, but if you need extra features like protecting your own Web API with scopes, then this feature is not released at this point (as November 2017). Please read this document for an updated list of limitations of the v2 endpoint.
A third (but less recommended option for AppSource) is to keep using the v1 endpoint and make your application to be single tenant - which is to change the endpoint from https://login.microsoftonline.com/common to https://login.microsoftonline.com/{yourtenantid}, and then use B2B invitations API to invite every external users (including work and personal accounts) to be part of your Azure AD tenant/organization. More information about B2B here as well.
The option '3' above have some consequences for management as well for AppSource: by using this option, you are required to have one Azure Active Directory tenant (if you don't have a tenant already, you can get one using these instructions), and the users being invited will be guests accounts of this tenant - this mean that you need to invite every external user to your application/ tenant. A multi-tenant application allows any user from any organization to sign-in to your application with less management on your side. In general for SaaS applications, multi-tenant configuration is recommended.
For AppSource, also the option '3' leads to a less-immersive user experience (Partner led trial), where the end user won't be able to access your application's demo right away - mainly because that they have to wait for the invitation's email and accept it (user has to accept being guest of your tenant) so that they can access your application.
For more information about AppSource requirements and trial options - please see this article.
When I try to login for the first time with new user via active directory to graphexplorer.windowsazure.net I get following scopes:
In my apps.dev.microsoft.com I have following permissions:
Why am I getting only these two scopes in access token:
Apps registered via the Application Registration Portal use the Azure AD v2 endpoint which supports incremental consent.
This means that while your app registration determines which scopes can be requested, you still need to specify specific scopes when you make the authorize request. Also, you should avoid requesting all scopes up front, rather incrementally request scopes as needed in the context of specific operations. So start out with your authorize request as you have it, with no extra scopes but when you need to send an email on behalf of the user issue another authorize request like so:
GET https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?
client_id=6731de76-14a6-49ae-97bc-6eba6914391e
&response_type=code
&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2Fmyapp%2F
&response_mode=query
&scope=
https%3A%2F%2Fgraph.microsoft.com%2Fmail.send
&state=12345
For more info on scopes in the v2.0 endpoint check out the Scopes, permissions, and consent in the Azure Active Directory v2.0 endpoint document.
For an example of an app that incrementally requests scopes, check out this Integrate Microsoft identity and the Microsoft Graph into a web application using OpenID Connect sample.
Also note that there 2 different Graph APIs:
Azure AD Graph (endpoint: graph.windows.net, explorer: https://graphexplorer.azurewebsites.net/)
Microsoft Graph (Endpoint: graph.microsoft.com, Explorer: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/graph-explorer)
From https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/active-directory-graph-api:
We strongly recommend that you use Microsoft Graph instead of Azure AD Graph API to access Azure Active Directory resources. Our development efforts are now concentrated on Microsoft Graph and no further enhancements are planned for Azure AD Graph API. There are a very limited number of scenarios for which Azure AD Graph API might still be appropriate; for more information, see the Microsoft Graph or the Azure AD Graph blog post in the Office Dev Center.
I'm not quite sure where that screen shot is coming from, but the URL you're going to is incorrect. The correct URL for Graph Explorer is https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/graph-explorer.
I'm currently trying to implement a multi-tenant Azure AD application that will use Microsoft Graph API's to monitor and analyze Office 365 "metadata" for members of the tenant domain. For example, the application might monitor One Drive user space over time. The architecture of the application will include an AngularJS SPA client along with a web application back-end. The idea is that the web application allows for both local registration (e.g. traditional sign up using an email address and password) in addition to Azure AD authentication. In the case of local registration, the user might be able to associate an Azure AD tenancy with the local account in the future, for example.
I'm struggling to understand how various authentication mechanisms should work. For example, I think that there should be two levels of authentication in the case of Azure AD: one authentication for the users of the client SPA, and another authentication used by the back-end for making continuous calls to the Microsoft API's, requesting refresh tokens, etc.
How might this architecture be implemented using the various Azure AD authentication scenarios Microsoft has already provided examples for?
If my initial inclination that I will have two applications registered with Azure AD (for example, the SPA registered as a native application, say, and the web application registered by itself), how will users allow access to both of them, and what would this workflow look like? In addition, what would the flow of user requests look like? The SPA would make a request to the back-end using its Azure AD token, but what will the back-end do to receive its authentication token and make calls to the Microsoft API's?
How might I best incorporate Azure AD authentication along with local registration into my application?
Generally speaking, you can associate your each user to his entity in Azure AD tenant in your backend server / database. As every user in Azure AD has several unique properties in the entity object. You can use the user's email or objectId as mentioned at Claims in Azure AD Security Tokens as the external column in your user table.
When your user authenticate your site via ADAL.JS, you can grab the access token in your backend server via the Authentication header. You can use the access token to request for the resources protected by Azure AD. And the access token is a JWT token, which you can decode directly to get the user basic claims as we mentioned before. You can retrieve the claim which you stored in your user table and match the special user registered in your server for requesting the resource protected by your self.
We have a multi-tenant Saas application providing sign in using our username/pwd authentication system and using Azure AD (OAuth 2.0 flows). When a user signs in using Azure AD, we can get the user's profile using https://graph.windows.net/{tenantid}/me. We want however to get more information using the memberOf or getMemberGroups operations to retrieve the user's groups in the tenants directory, to map specific groups from the tenant to an organizational structure in our application. However these operations always fail with a Forbidden statuscode. Are we missing required permissions or is it just not possible to query for the groups and roles of another tenant.
Thanks in advance
This is totally possible, but today requires that you request the "Read Directory" permission. This permission does require and admin of the tenant to consent. We are looking at adding some additional fine grained permissions for Graph API that will allow users to consent (to get group membership information).
Another option for you is to configure your application to request group membership claims (which should appear in any user or JWT token). You can do this by going to the azure management portal and getting to your app's config page. From there download the application manifest file and update the groupMembershipClaims property. You can see most of the properties in the application manifest described here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn151677.aspx. Once updated, you can upload this app manifest file, and this will configure your application accordingly. Once done, AAD will issue group membership claims in the token. Dushyant has written a nice blog about authorizing access to a web app, using group membership claims or app roles. You can find it via Alex Simons blog post here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/ad/archive/2014/12/18/azure-active-directory-now-with-group-claims-and-application-roles.aspx
