Single Sign On Mechanisms

Single sign-on button using Microsoft Azure to allow sign-in through Outlook/uOttawa emails.

How

• Uses the Microsoft Authentication Library for Node.js (MSAL Node) with the authorization code flow.
• Connects to a server port which redirects to the SSO, after successful login redirects back to the desired page.
• Each user who completes the login gets an authentication code that gets saved, allowing one-time logins for returning users.

Needs

• Serverport - being the URL of the "button".
• Redirect-URI - being the homepage.
• clientSecret - being the authentication code linked to the Microsoft Azure account. (24 months expiration on code)

Next Steps

• To make useable with our webapp change the Needs to our webapps page URLs.

Server side

• API to get
  • domain
  • clientID
  • redirectURI
  • onRedirectCallback
  • audience
• Saves name, email, and picture which then can be saved to the database.
