ADAL.JS with Mobile App - azure-active-directory

I'm trying to integrate some Oracle delivered Mobile Application Framework Apps (MAF) mobile apps with Azure AD authentication. I have tried the Java approach, which apparently doesn't work in my case.
So I decided to try using a Javascript login page option using ADAL.JS. Since MAF creates cross-platform compatible code by transpiling to HTML 5/Javascript/Cordova, I reckoned I could make the JS option work without resorting to having multiple SDK specific solutions like ADAL-Android or ADAL-IOS. Since I can wrap it all in an HTML page as I can use the OAUTH implicit flow option that ADAL.JS requires. I have the ADAL.JS part working from my PC using this example with a local Node/Webpack dev server for the redirect URI. (Note, just like that example, I'd prefer to use the strict adal.js option and avoid any angular-js stuff). However, I'm running into an issue when deployed on the Android mobile device. It appears to be due to the reply URI. After being prompted for Azure credentials and supplying those, the following error is produced.
AADSTS50011: Reply address 'file:///data/user/0/com.company.app/storage/assets/FARs/ViewController/public_html/SignOn/login.html' has an invalid scheme.
I found that when deploying to a mobile device the Azure registered app must be set to type "Native" instead of "Web/API" which I have done. And according to an MSFT example (which I cannot include since I don't have enough rep to include more than two links) the redirect URI must be set to "https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/nativeclient". But I still get the same error.
UPDATE since #FeiXue Reply
I'm using the original endpoint not 2.0. When I set the redirectURI as such:
redirectURI=https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/nativeclient
The browser returns this in the address bar and remains there on a blank screen and does not issue a token. It does this both on the PC browser and mobile browser.
http://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/nativeclient#id_token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsIng1dCI6ImEzUU4wQlpTN3M0bk4tQmRyamJGMFlfTGRNTSIsImtpZCI6ImEzUU4wQlpTN3M0bk4tQmRyamJGMFlfTGRNTSJ9.(shortened for brevity)&state=e1ce94fb-6310-4dec-9e8b-053727ceb9b8&session_state=1beafa4d-af55-415b-85d5-83e8b4035594
However, for the exact same code, on the PC when I set the redirectURI as such it returns an access token:
redirectURI=https://localhost:8443 <-- port to my local node server
I've also tried it with a redirectURI of urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob, but that does not work either.

Update
#FeiXue So I guess from what you're saying the id_token IS the access token? I think then the problem is this.
When the redirectURI="https://localhost:8443" it redirects back to my index.html after AAD login and the authContext.acquireToken() works and returns a valid token.
But when the redirectURI="https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/nativeclient" it never redirects back from http://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/nativeclient#id_token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1Ni......
While it shows the id_token, it never redirects back to my index.html So I can't make a call to authContext.acquireToken() for passing it onto my web API.

From my research on this topic here is the gist on ADAL.JS and Native (Mobile) Device Support
As #fei-xue-msft mentioned, ADAL.JS is not intended for nor does it work with native/mobile devices. ADAL.JS was written with the “original” Azure endpoint in mind, not the v2.0 endpoint that provides more functionality for mobile/native devices (see more below on the two different endpoint options). There is however an experimental ADAL.JS branch you can try (uses the v2.0 endpoint), but it is not not being actively updated anymore so you are on your own. The new MSFT approach is to use the new MSAL library, which is written towards the v2.0 endpoints. However there is no MSAL-for-JS library yet but rumor is there will be one at some point. For more on the two different Azure endpoints (“original” versus “v2.0”) see the links below. The confusion over this was a source of frustration in my troubleshooting so I help this helps some others going down this track.
So if you are looking to get Azure Oauth authentication on mobile devices, first decide which Azure Endpoint you want to use (Supporting links on that below as v2.0 does have some restrictions that the original endpoint does not). You can determine what your specific endpoints for your tenant are by viewing the Metadata Doc links listed below, just substitute your tenant name or ID. You should be able to use either.
To register an application for a specific type of endpoint (original versus v2.0) use the appropriate App Registration Portal link cited below. Then, to decide what your options are for creating an Azure auth solution for native/mobile device, see the code samples for each endpoint version, and make sure the sample is for “native” else it probably won’t work on your mobile device. For example, you will not see an ADAL.JS sample for the original endpoint library options, but you will see one for Cordova (which is why #fei-xue-msft suggested that approach). For the v2.0 endpoint samples you will see the MSAL/Xamarin options, and for an Javascript option you can try something like the Hello.JS Sample.

Are you developing with Azure AD V2.0 endpoint?
If not, we are able to config the redirect URIs as we want on the portal for the native app. However as the error message indicates that the file protocol is not a a validate scheme.
In this scenario, we can use the http or https since you were developing with HTML.
And in the Azure AD V2.0 endpoint, we are not able to set the redirect_Uri for the native app at present. We can use urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob or https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/nativeclient for the redirect_Uri. The first one is used for the native app for the device and the second we can use for the client which host in browser(web-view).
At last, please ensure that the redirect_uri in the request is using the correct one you register for the portal. You can also test the request on the browser to narrow down whether this issue was cause the incorrect redirect_uri in the request. And for the authorization request, you can refer links below:
Authorize access to web applications using OAuth 2.0 and Azure Active Directory
v2.0 Protocols - OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Flow
Update(there is no href property if open the HTML from disk which cause the popup page is not closed)
AuthenticationContext.prototype._loginPopup = function (urlNavigate) {
var popupWindow = this._openPopup(urlNavigate, "login", this.CONSTANTS.POPUP_WIDTH, this.CONSTANTS.POPUP_HEIGHT);
if (popupWindow == null) {
this.warn('Popup Window is null. This can happen if you are using IE');
this._saveItem(this.CONSTANTS.STORAGE.ERROR, 'Error opening popup');
this._saveItem(this.CONSTANTS.STORAGE.ERROR_DESCRIPTION, 'Popup Window is null. This can happen if you are using IE');
this._saveItem(this.CONSTANTS.STORAGE.LOGIN_ERROR, 'Popup Window is null. This can happen if you are using IE');
if (this.callback)
this.callback(this._getItem(this.CONSTANTS.STORAGE.LOGIN_ERROR), null, this._getItem(this.CONSTANTS.STORAGE.ERROR));
return;
}
if (this.config.redirectUri.indexOf('#') != -1)
var registeredRedirectUri = this.config.redirectUri.split("#")[0];
else
var registeredRedirectUri = this.config.redirectUri;
var that = this;
var pollTimer = window.setInterval(function () {
if (!popupWindow || popupWindow.closed || popupWindow.closed === undefined) {
that._loginInProgress = false;
window.clearInterval(pollTimer);
}
try {
//there is no href property if open the HTML from disk
if (popupWindow.location.href.indexOf(registeredRedirectUri) != -1) {
if (that.isAngular) {
that._onPopUpHashChanged(popupWindow.location.hash);
}
else {
that.handleWindowCallback(popupWindow.location.hash);
}
window.clearInterval(pollTimer);
that._loginInProgress = false;
that.info("Closing popup window");
popupWindow.close();
}
} catch (e) {
}
}, 20);
};
This issue is caused that when we open the HTML page from device(disk), the parent HTML page(login page) is not able to get the location of the popup page. So the parent page is not able to close that page based on the location of popup page. To workaround this issue, I suggest that you developing with azure-activedirectory-library-for-cordova or host the login page on the back end of web API.

Service to service requests on App Engine with IAP

I'm using Google App Engine to host a couple of services (a NextJS SSR service and a backend API built on Express). I've setup my dispatch.yaml file to route /api/* requests to my API service and all other requests get routed to the default (NextJS) service.
dispatch:
- url: '*/api/*'
service: api
The problem: I've also turned on Identity-Aware Proxy for App Engine. When I try to make a GET request from my NextJS service to my API (server-side, via getServerSideProps) it triggers the IAP sign-in page again instead of hitting my API. I've tried out a few ideas to resolve this:
Forwarding all cookies in the API request
Setting the X-Requested-With header as mentioned here
Giving IAP-secured Web App User permissions to my App Engine default service account
But nothing seems to work. I've confirmed that turning off IAP for App Engine allows everything to function as expected. Any requests to the API from the frontend also work as expected. Is there a solution I'm missing or a workaround for this?
You need to perform a service to service call. That's no so simple and you have not really example for that. Anyway I tested (in Go) and it worked.
Firstly, based your development on the Cloud Run Service to Service documentation page.
You will have this piece of code in NodeJS sorry, I'm not a NodeJS developer and far least a NexJS developer, you will have to adapt
// Make sure to `npm install --save request-promise` or add the dependency to your package.json
const request = require('request-promise');
const receivingServiceURL = ...
// Set up metadata server request
// See https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/verifying-instance-identity#request_signature
const metadataServerTokenURL = 'http://metadata/computeMetadata/v1/instance/service-accounts/default/identity?audience=';
const tokenRequestOptions = {
uri: metadataServerTokenURL + receivingServiceURL,
headers: {
'Metadata-Flavor': 'Google'
}
};
// Fetch the token, then provide the token in the request to the receiving service
request(tokenRequestOptions)
.then((token) => {
return request(receivingServiceURL).auth(null, null, true, token)
})
.then((response) => {
res.status(200).send(response);
})
.catch((error) => {
res.status(400).send(error);
});
This example won't work because you need the correct audience. Here, the variable is receivingServiceURL. It's correct for Cloud Run (and Cloud Functions) but not for App Engine behind IAP. You need to use the Client ID of the OAuth2 credential named IAP-App-Engine-app
Ok, hard to understand what I'm talking about. So, go to the console, API & Services -> Creentials. From there, you have a OAuth2 Client ID section. copy the Client ID column of the line IAP-App-Engine-app, like that
Final point, be sure that your App Engine default service account has the authorization to access to IAP. And add it as IAP-secured Web App User. The service account has this format <PROJECT_ID>#appspot.gserviceaccount.com
Not really clear also. So, go to the IAP page (Security -> Identity Aware Proxy), click on the check box in front of App Engine and go the right side of the page, in the permission panel
In the same time, I can explain how to deactivate IAP on a specific service (as proposed by NoCommandLine). Just a remark: deactivate security when you have trouble with it is never a good idea!!
Technically, you can't deactive IAP on a service. But you can grant allUsers as IAP-secured Web App User on a specific service (instead of clicking on the checkbox of App Engine, click on the checkbox of a specific service). And like that, even with IAP you authorized all users to access to your service. it's an activation without checks in fact.

EasyAuth with a SPA and AzureFunction on different hosts

I'm trying to use EasyAuth (aad) with a SPA, which is on "localhost:8080" at the moment, and an Azure Function which is hosted in Azure ({function-app}.azurewebsites.net. The intent is for the SPA to call a secured endpoint on the Azure Function. So, I have the Azure Function Registered as an application in AD, and the authentication redirect in the SPA to the Azure Function EasyAuth endpoint appears to be working, but the redirect back to the localhost SPA via the post_login_redirect_url is not.
I added http://localhost:8080 to the AAD registered application as an allowed redirect URI. However, if I fully qualify the URL I am redirected back to {function-host}/.auth/login/done. Is there an expectation that the SPA runs under the same hostname as the azure function, or is there a way to configure the setup to allow any URL for the SPA host?
Behavior
In terms of HTTP data during behavior, once login succeeds .auth/login/aad/callback is loaded with the following prior to redirecting to the default done page and stopping.
Response Header
Location = {function-host}/.auth/login/done
Form Data:
state = http://localhost:8080
code = auth code
id_token = auth token
How I called it from the SPA
function processAuthCheck(xmlhttp) {
if (xmlhttp.status == 401) {
url = "https://{function-app}.azurewebsites.net/.auth/login/aad?"
+ "post_login_redirect_url=" + encodeURI("http://localhost:8080");
window.location = url;
} else if (xmlhttp.status != 200) {
alert("There is an error with this service!");
return;
}
var result = JSON.parse(xmlhttp.responseText);
console.log(JSON.stringify(result));
return;
};
Regarding the issue, please refer to the following steps
Register Azure AD application to protect azure function with easy auth
Register client-side application
a. Register single-page application
b. In the Implicit grant and hybrid flows section, select ID tokens and Access tokens.
c. Configure API permissions
Enable CORS in Azure function
Code
a. Integrate Azure AD auth in your spa application with Implicit grant flow. After doing that, when users access your application, they need to enter their AD account to get access token
b. Client exchanges this accessToken for an 'App Service Token'. It does this by making a POST to https://{app}.azurewebsites.net/.auth/login/aad with the content { "access_token" : "{token from Azure AD}" }. This will return back an authenticationToken
c. Use that authenticationToken in a header named x-zumo-auth. Make all requests to your function app using that header.
For more details, please refer to here and here. Regarding how to implement Azure AD in spa, please refer to here.

Teams Tab for dynamic SharePoint page / authentication problem

Heyo,
I am trying to build a multi tenant Teams App with personal tabs. The goal is: the user is authenticated (silently like explained in the Microsoft example, a static html page with the JavaScript code is hosted in an Azure Storage), then my custom web service is called and answers with a SharePoint-Online URL which contains an SPFX Webpart. Then the user is redirected to that page. When the user is not registered he gets an error page instead. The problem here is, that I am not able to redirect the user to that SharePoint page. The SharePoint page won't open in the iframe of the Teams tab because the tab's domain is the domain where my static web page is hosted. So my first question is how can I achieve this? (I do not know the SharePoint URL at build time, i do not know if the user has a page at all. This is determined in the custom web service at runtime)
A different approach would be to build a custom JavaScript application (in react, like my SPFX webpart), host it on my static web page and communicate with the SharePoint from there. To test my idea I added permissions for SharePoint in my Azure AD application, wrote a simple call to the SharePoint with the obtained token.
var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.open("GET", "https://[tenant].sharepoint.com/sites/[sitecollection]/_api/web/lists", false);
req.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + idToken);
req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json;odata=verbose");
req.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (req.readyState == 4 && req.status == 200) {
var result = JSON.parse(req.responseText);
}
};
req.send();
The problem is my SharePoint is answering with 401 and "Exception of type 'Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.AudienceUriValidationFailedException' was thrown" error in the response.
Is this some sort of CORS problem or do I need a different type of token for SharePoint? Or do I have to use a complete different JavaScript library to authenticate vs SharePoint.

How to implement Azure AD single tenant auth in React and standalone Golang Web API?

We have a React application created with Create-React-App. Right now, it's being served with nginx:alpine in a docker container in Azure App Services. I don't care much about the server since it only serves the built react app as static files.
Aside from that, we also have a golang api running standalone in another container in Azure App Services. Now what we want to do is when a user points to the React app URL, he/she will be redirected to login.microsoft.com/xxxxx..... or the popup will show. User will signin, then that will be the time he can access the application.
I've read the docs but being fairly new to these concepts, and to web development in general, I'm confused a bit on how to start this. I understand the flow but I can't implement it yet.
I've tried the Browser to Web App scenario in NodeJS but I guess it is for server side rendering. So my option is to use ADAL which does not have React implementation in their docs. And their ADAL JS samples have the spa being served at the same app with the API.
Now, for my specific situation, React's server is different than the API. So I don't really know how to continue. Can someone at least point me to a working example of my situation? Or enumerate what I have to do? I don't need code, just a method that will take me there.
But if this can be done correctly, I think I'll do the method below:
Web Browser to Web Application scenario
// Use the passport-azure-ad and OIDC strategy in the docs and samples
// Configure express
app.get('/', function(req, res){
if (!req.user) {
// res.render the template which has link to login
} else {
// res.sendFile the React's index.html
}
});
app.get('/login',
passport.authenticate('azuread-openidconnect', { failureRedirect: '/login'
}),
function(req, res) {
log.info('Login was called in the Sample');
res.redirect('/');
});
app.get('/logout', function(req, res){
req.logout();
res.redirect('/');
});
Although I doubt it because I tried the method above and it only served the html and chrome says "http://localhost:3000/static/css/xxxxxxxx.css" and the JS file both don't exist even though I pointed it correctly in the public folder.
Also, with the above method, I can't use the app.get("*", xxxx) which I need to prevent "File Not Found" when browser is refreshed.
So if I can't do it like the above method, what's the solution?

API on subdomain and oauth

I have an api on a subdomain : api.exemple.com written with symfony2 and my main application on exemple.com (SPA - AngularJs).
I would like to allow user to link their facebook account with their local account. I don't know how to proceed in order to authenticate through my app and use third party oauth provider.
Do you have any clue ?
Thank you
On the angular side, start by opening a new window and send your oauth handler a get request:
self.oauthConnect = function(provider)
{
var url = apiPrefix + '/oauth/tokens/'. provider;
oauthWindow = $window.open(url,'_blank', 'height=600, width=600, top=100, left=300, modal=yes');
oauthWindow.focus();
};
Your PHP api site then redirects to the oauth provider site (i.e. facebook). We use a new client window so our SPA keeps running in spite of the redirect. The provider then presents their login screen and redirects with the oauth token information.
Your PHP api site does what it needs to and generates the actual authorization token (hint: use a json web token). The site then returns an html page back to your angular app.
<body>
<script>
window.opener.oauthCallback('<?php echo $oauthToken; ?>');
</script>
</body>
Your angular controller (that opened the window) will then be called with the oauth token.
$window.oauthCallback = function(oauthToken)
{
oauthWindow.close();
oauthWindow = null;
authManager.oauthToken = oauthToken;
self.oauthSubmit();
};
Easy right? Well not really but it works. In my case I turn right around and:
POST /auth/tokens/oauthToken
to get the real application token. That way my oauth service can be used for multiple applications.
