OmniAuth::Strategies::AzureActiveDirectoryB2C

This gem is an Azure Active Directory B2C Strategy for OmniAuth.

Usage

In your Gemfile add gem 'omniauth-azure_active_directory_b2c'.

In your codebase add require 'omniauth-azure_active_directory_b2c'.

Configuration

Configuration depends on your stack... are you using a vanilla Rack application? Are you using Rails with the Devise and OmniAuth module? Are you using Rails directly with the OmniAuth gem? Are you using Sinatra?

Rails, Devise, and the OmniAuth module

In config/initializers/devise.rb:

config.omniauth :azure_active_directory_b2c, strategy_options

Head over to the Devise repo and the OmniAuth Module Overview for further instructions on how to set up routes, controllers, etc.

See the next section for the strategy options.

Rails and the OmniAuth gem

In config/initializers/omniauth.rb:

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :azure_active_directory_b2c, strategy_options
end

Head over to the OmniAuth repo and its wiki for further background info and instructions.

See the next section for the strategy options.

Sinatra

class MyApp < Sinatra::Base
  use Rack::Session::Cookie
  use OmniAuth::Builder do
    provider :azure_active_directory_b2c, strategy_options
  end

  get '/auth/:provider' do
    raise "OmniAuth provider has not been configured: %s" % params['provider']
  end

  get '/auth/:provider/callback' do
    env['omniauth.auth']
  end

end

Head over to the OmniAuth repo and its wiki for further background info and instructions.

See the next section for the strategy options.

Strategy Options

This strategy accepts the following options:

Option Required Description
:name Optional Sets the provider name used in the request and callback URLs. Defaults to 'azure_active_directory_b2c'.
:redirect_uri Required The absolute url sent to the Azure AD B2C policy to initiate the callback phase.
:policy_options Required A hash used to initialize an OmniAuth::Strategies::AzureActiveDirectoryB2C::Policy object.

Additional info for each option will follow.

This is a complete example:

use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :azure_active_directory_b2c, {
    redirect_uri: ->(strategy) { 'http://localhost:9292/auth/%s/callback' % strategy.optionsname },
    policy_options: {
      application_identifier: '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000',
      application_secret: '****************',
      tenant_name: 'example.onmicrosoft.com',
      policy_name: 'b2c_1_signupin',
      scope: [
          :openid,
          'https://example.onmicrosoft.com/example-api/user_impersonation',
          'https://example.onmicrosoft.com/example-api/read',
          'https://example.onmicrosoft.com/example-api/write',
        ],
      jwk_signing_keys: { 'keys' => [{ 'kid' => '...', 'n' => '...' }]},
    }
  }
end

:name

By default, :name is set to azure_active_directory_b2c.

This tells the OmniAuth gem what to name the request and callback URLs.

Eg. GET /auth/:name and GET /auth/:name/callback.

When you direct a user to GET /auth/azure_active_directory_b2c, the request_phase of this strategy will be initiated and the user will be redirected to the authorize endpoint of the Azure AD B2C Policy.

When the Azure AD B2C Policy returns, it will return to the given redirect_url which should, by default, match up to GET /auth/azure_active_directory_b2c/callback. This will initiate the callback_phase of this strategy. The strategy uses the code returned from the policy to request an access_code and id_token from the policy.

The unencrypted user information will be available from the environment: env['omniauth.auth'].

:redirect_uri

This is required as the URI must be absolute. The option can be used in one of two ways:

Pass in a String:

provider :azure_active_directory_b2c, redirect_uri: 'https://localhost:9292/auth/azure_active_directory_b2c/callback'

Pass in a Proc that returns a String:

provider :azure_active_directory_b2c, {
  redirect_uri: ->(strategy) {
    'https://localhost:9292/auth/%s/callback' % strategy.options.name
  }
}

You must ensure that redirect_uri is registered with the Application in the Azure AD B2C tennant otherwise you will get errors.

:policy_options

These options provide the configuation for the Azure AD B2C Tenant, Application, and Policy being used as the Identity Provider.

A hash can be passed to policy_options specifying the following:

  • :application_identifier
  • :application_secret
  • :tenant_name: This is the Domain Name or Resource name found in the Overview blade in the Azure AD B2C portal.
  • :policy_name: The name of the policy that the user should be redirected to and authenticated against
  • :scope: Defaults to [:openid], but can be overriden to request specific api permissions. Eg. [:openid, 'https://example.onmicrosoft.com/example-api/user_impersonation']. See the microsoft docs form more info: here and here.
  • :jwk_signing_keys: This is required to decode the id_token returned from the token endpoint. The key can be found by going to the url that is specified in jwks_uri parameter at the policy's .well-known/openid-configuration page. Eg: https://login.microsoftonline.com/te/example.onmicrosoft.com/b2c_1_signupin/discovery/v2.0/keys.

Advanced configuration

An alternative approach to integration is to create a subclass of OmniAuth::Strategies::AzureActiveDirectoryB2C.

Basic example

module OmniAuth
  module Strategies
    class CustomB2CStrategy < AzureActiveDirectoryB2C

      option :name, 'custom_b2c_strategy'

      def redirect_uri
        'http://localhost:9292/auth/%s/callback' % options.name
      end

      def policy_options
        { application_identifier: '...', application_secret: '***', etc: '...' }
      end
    end
  end
end
OmniAuth.config.add_camelization('custom_b2c_strategy', 'CustomB2C')

use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :custom_b2c_strategy
end

Dynamically load policy options to use multiple Azure AD B2C Policies from multiple tenants (Rails example):

# app/models/policy.rb
class Policy < ActiveRecord::Base
  include OmniAuth::Strategies::AzureActiveDirectoryB2C::PolicyOptions
end

# lib/custom_b2c_strategy.rb
module OmniAuth
  module Strategies
    class CustomB2CStrategy < AzureActiveDirectoryB2C

      option :name, 'custom_b2c_strategy'

      def redirect_uri
        'http://localhost:9292/auth/%s/callback' % options.name
      end

      def policy_name
        @policy_name ||= begin
            stored_policy_name = session['omniauth.policy_name']
            session['omniauth.policy_name'] = request.params['policy_name']
            session['omniauth.policy_name'] || stored_policy_name
          end
      end

      # override
      def policy
        @policy ||= Policy.find_by(name: policy_name)
      end
    end
  end
end
OmniAuth.config.add_camelization('custom_b2c_strategy', 'CustomB2C')

# config/initializers/devise.rb
require 'lib/custom_b2c_strategy.rb'

use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :custom_b2c_strategy
end

This example is overriding the policy method.

The object returned can be either:

  • a subclass of OmniAuth::Strategies::AzureActiveDirectoryB2C::Policy, or;
  • include the module OmniAuth::Strategies::AzureActiveDirectoryB2C::PolicyOptions

In this case an ActiveRecord model that implements the OmniAuth::Strategies::AzureActiveDirectoryB2C::PolicyOptions is being returned.

The policy_name is expected to be provided as an URL parameter to the request URL. Eg: GET /auth/azure_active_directory_b2c?policy_name=test

Overriding authentication_request and authentication_response

These two methods can be overriden to allow the developer to provide their own implementation of OmniAuth::Strategies::AzureActiveDirectoryB2C::AuthenticationRequest and OmniAuth::Strategies::AzureActiveDirectoryB2C::AuthenticationResponse.

This may be necessary if the developer wants to

  • use an unsupported authorization flow
  • use a different decoding algorithm for the access code and id token
  • access different claims returned in the id_token

Overriding validate_callback_response!

This allows develops to either override, or add to the validation provided by this gem.

Known Limitations

  • The strategy only supports the code authorization flow.
  • The gem doesn't support discovery, but neither does Azure AD B2C as far as I can tell.
