Android Setup: react-native-azure-adal

Assumptions

You have a Azure AD Setup

You can find detailed instructions how to set up a new application in Azure AD here.

Step 1

Install NPM module

$ npm install react-native-azure-adal --save

OR

yarn add react-native-azure-adal

Step 2 - Linking

Mostly automatic installation

$ react-native link react-native-azure-adal

Manual installation - Android

  1. Open up android/app/src/main/java/[...]/MainActivity.java
  • Add import com.microsoft.azure.adal.RNAzureAdalPackage; to the imports at the top of the file
  • Add new RNAzureAdalPackage() to the list returned by the getPackages() method

  1. Append the following lines to android/settings.gradle:

    include ':react-native-azure-adal'
project(':react-native-azure-adal').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, 	'../node_modules/react-native-azure-adal/android')

  2. Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in android/app/build.gradle:

      compile project(':react-native-azure-adal')

Step 3 AndroidManifest.xml Changes

Update your project's AndroidManifest.xml file to include:

<!-- Add permissions -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:debuggable="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    
	<!--add AuthenticationActivity-->
    <activity
        android:name="com.microsoft.aad.adal.AuthenticationActivity"
        android:label="@string/title_login_hello_app" >
    </activity>
...
<application/>

Step 4 Broker Based Authentication (if Required)

AndroidManifest.xml Changes

If target version is lower than 23, calling app has to have the following permissions declared in manifest(http://developer.android.com/reference/android/accounts/AccountManager.html):

  • GET_ACCOUNTS
  • USE_CREDENTIALS
  • MANAGE_ACOUNTS

If target version is 23, USE_CREDENTIALS and MANAGE_ACCOUNTS are already deprecated. But GET_ACCOUNTS is under protection level "dangerous", calling app is responsible for requesting the run-time permisson.

Update your project's AndroidManifest.xml file to include below permissions:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_ACCOUNTS" />

Broker Redirection Uri

Developer needs to register special redirectUri for broker usage. RedirectUri is in the format of msauth://packagename/Base64UrlencodedSignature. You can get your redirecturi for your app using the script brokerRedirectPrint.ps1 on Windows or brokerRedirectPrint.sh on Linux or Mac. You can also use API call mContext.getBrokerRedirectUri. Signature is related to your signing certificates.

Step 1

Setup JAVA_HOME path

export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home

Step 2 - Script Way

Run script brokerRedirectPrint.sh (brokerRedirectPrint.sh will be available at root folder of plugin react-native-azure-adal)

chmod a+x brokerRedirectPrint.sh
sh brokerRedirectPrint.sh -r -c "com.example" -k "/Users/durgaprasad/code/azure/azure-activedirectory-library-for-react-native/example/android/app/azure-example.keystore" -a "example-alias" -p "example-password"

It will generate redirectUri for ADAL broker based authentication

Output

msauth://com.example/8BhOF7pgEpduSQKBKziiWZDhIVA%3D

Manual Way

Run below command to get certificate key

keytool -storepass "example-password" -exportcert -alias "example-alias" -keystore "/Users/durgaprasad/code/azure/azure-activedirectory-library-for-react-native/example/android/app/azure-example.keystore"  | openssl sha1 -binary |  openssl base64

It will give you certificate value

8BhOF7pgEpduSQKBKziiWZDhIVA=

Url encode this value below command

 ruby -r cgi -e 'puts CGI.escape("Your certificate value")'
 # e.g ruby -r cgi -e 'puts CGI.escape("8BhOF7pgEpduSQKBKziiWZDhIVA=")'
 # RESULT 8BhOF7pgEpduSQKBKziiWZDhIVA%3D

Create url

msauth://package_name/encoded_certificate_value

msauth://com.example/8BhOF7pgEpduSQKBKziiWZDhIVA%3D

TroubleShooting
