Microsoft Teams Authentication Sample

This sample demonstrates authentication in Microsoft Teams using bot and tab.

Included Features

• Teams SSO (Using bots and tabs)
• Bots
• MSAL.js 2.0 support

Interaction with App

Getting started

1. Install some sort of tunnelling service. Eg. dev tunnel or ngrok latest version or equivalent tunnelling solution

2. Begin your tunnelling service to get an https endpoint. For this example ngrok is used. Start an ngrok tunnel with the following command (you'll need the https endpoint for the bot registration):
   

   ngrok http 3978 --host-header=localhost

   Alternatively, you can also use the dev tunnels. Please follow this documentation: Create and host a dev tunnel link and host the tunnel with anonymous user access as shown below:

   devtunnel host -p 3978 --allow-anonymous

Setup for code

• Clone the repository

  git clone https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples.git

• In a terminal, navigate to samples/app-auth/nodejs

• Install modules

  npm install
  npm start

3. Register a bot with Azure Bot Service, following the instructions here.

• Ensure that you've enabled the Teams Channel
• While registering the bot, use https://<your_tunnel_domain>/api/messages as the messaging endpoint.

  NOTE: When you create your bot you will create an App ID and App password - make sure you keep these for later.

IMPORTANT: Do not use the legacy Bot Framework portal, nor App Studio, to create the bot. Your bot MUST be registered with Azure Bot Service to use the authentication functionality provided by Azure Bot Service.

4. Create an app manifest. Navigate to the file, appManifest/manifest.json - Change:
   1. <<REGISTERED_BOT_ID>> (there are 3) change to your registered bot's app ID
   2. <<BASE_URI_DOMAIN>> (there are 5) change to your https endpoint from ngrok excluding the "https://" part Note: If you want to test your app across multi hub like: Outlook/Office.com, please update the manifest.json in the app-auth\nodejs\appManifestHub folder with the required values.
   3. Zip up the contents of the appManifest folder to create a manifest.zip or appManifestHub folder into a appManifestHub.zip. (Make sure that zip file does not contains any subfolder otherwise you will get error while uploading your .zip package)

Setup

To be able to use an identity provider, first you have to register your application.

Changing app settings

• Environment variable overrides are defined in app-auth\nodejs\.env. You can set these environment variables when running node.

The instructions below assume that you're using environment variables to configure the app, and will specify the name of the variable to set.

Using Azure AD

Registering a bot with the Microsoft Bot Framework automatically creates a corresponding Azure AD application with the same name and ID.

1. Go to the Application Registration Portal and sign in with the same account that you used to register your bot.

2. Find your application in the list and click on the name to edit.

3. Navigate to Authentication under Manage and add the following redirect URLs:

   • https://token.botframework.com/.auth/web/redirect
   • Add this URL as Single-page application https://<your_tunnel_domain>/silent-end

4. Additionally, under the Implicit grant subsection select Access tokens and ID tokens

5. Click on Expose an API under Manage. Select the Set link to generate the Application ID URI in the form of api://{AppID}. Insert your fully qualified domain name (with a forward slash "/" appended to the end) between the double forward slashes and the GUID. The entire ID should have the form of: api://<your_tunnel_domain>/{AppID}

6. Select the Add a scope button. In the panel that opens, enter access_as_user as the Scope name.

7. Set Who can consent? to Admins and users

8. Fill in the fields for configuring the admin and user consent prompts with values that are appropriate for the access_as_user scope. Suggestions:

   • Admin consent title: Teams can access the user’s profile
   • Admin consent description: Allows Teams to call the app’s web APIs as the current user.
   • User consent title: Teams can access your user profile and make requests on your behalf
   • User consent description: Enable Teams to call this app’s APIs with the same rights that you have

9. Ensure that State is set to Enabled

10. Select Add scope

    • Note: The domain part of the Scope name displayed just below the text field should automatically match the Application ID URI set in the previous step, with /access_as_user appended to the end; for example:
      • api://<your_tunnel_domain>/<aad_application_id>/access_as_user
    • If you are facing any issue in your app, please uncomment [this] line( https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples/blob/main/samples/app-auth/nodejs/src/AuthBot.ts#L119) and put your debugger for local debug.

11. In the Authorized client applications section, you identify the applications that you want to authorize to your app’s web application. Each of the following IDs needs to be entered:

    • 1fec8e78-bce4-4aaf-ab1b-5451cc387264 (Teams mobile/desktop application)
    • 5e3ce6c0-2b1f-4285-8d4b-75ee78787346 (Teams web application) Note If you want to test or extend your Teams apps across Office and Outlook, kindly add below client application identifiers while doing Azure AD app registration in your tenant:
    • 4765445b-32c6-49b0-83e6-1d93765276ca (Office web)
    • 0ec893e0-5785-4de6-99da-4ed124e5296c (Office desktop)
    • bc59ab01-8403-45c6-8796-ac3ef710b3e3 (Outlook web)
    • d3590ed6-52b3-4102-aeff-aad2292ab01c (Outlook desktop)

12. Navigate to API Permissions, and make sure to add the following delegated permissions:

    • User.Read
    • email
    • offline_access
    • openid
    • profile

13. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "Add Permissions".

14. The bot uses MICROSOFT_APP_ID and MICROSOFT_APP_PASSWORD, so these should already be set.

Setup Facebook authentication

15. To test facebook auth flow create a facebookapp and get client id and secret for facebook app. Now go to your bot channel registartion -> configuration -> Add OAuth connection string

• Provide connection Name : for eg facebookconnection. You'll use this name in your bot in the appsettings.json file.
• Select service provider ad facebook
• Add clientid and secret of your facebook app that was created using Step 16.
• For scopes, add email public_profile

Update your Microsoft Teams application manifest

15. Add new properties to your Microsoft Teams app manifest:

    • WebApplicationInfo - The parent of the following elements.
    • Id - The client ID of the application. This is an application ID that you obtain as part of registering the application with Azure AD 1.0 endpoint.
    • Resource - The domain and subdomain of your application. This is the same URI (including the api:// protocol) that you used when registering the app in Microsoft Entra ID. The domain part of this URI should match the domain, including any subdomains, used in the URLs in the section of your Teams application manifest.

    "webApplicationInfo": {
    "id": "<<<REGISTERED_BOT_ID>>",
    "resource": "api://<<BASE_URI_DOMAIN>>/<<<REGISTERED_BOT_ID>>"
    }

16. Add permissions and update validDomains to allow token endpoint used by bot framework. Teams will only show the sign-in popup if its from a whitelisted domain.

    "permissions": [
        "identity"
    ],
    "validDomains": [
        "<<BASE_URI_DOMAIN>>",
        "token.botframework.com"
    ],

Notes:

• The resource for an Microsoft Entra ID app will usually just be the root of its site URL and the appID (e.g. api://subdomain.example.com/6789/c6c1f32b-5e55-4997-881a-753cc1d563b7). We also use this value to ensure your request is coming from the same domain. Therefore make sure that your contentURL for your tab uses the same domains as your resource property.
• You need to be using manifest version 1.5 or higher for these fields to be used.
• Scopes aren’t supported in the manifest and instead should be specified in the API Permissions section in the Azure portal
• If you are facing any issue in your app, please uncomment this line and put your debugger for local debug.

Add the Azure AD OAuth connection to the bot

1. Navigate to your Azure bot's service page on the Azure Portal.

2. Click Settings.

3. Under OAuth Connection Settings near the bottom of the page, click Add Setting.

4. Fill in the form as follows:

   1. For Name, enter a name for your connection (e.g., "AzureADv2")
   2. For Service Provider, select Azure Active Directory v2. Once you select this, the Azure AD-specific fields will be displayed.
   3. For Client id, enter your bot's client ID.
   4. For Client secret, enter your bot's client secret.
   5. For Tenant ID, enter common.
   6. For Scopes, enter User.Read.

5. Click Save.

6. Set the environment variable AZUREAD_CONNECTIONNAME to the name that you chose for this OAuth connection.

Testing the OAuth connections

Before proceeding, it's wise to test the OAuth connections that you have configured with the Azure Bot Service.

1. Open the Azure Bot blade on the Azure Portal.
2. Navigate to your Azure Bot resource.
3. Click Settings.
4. Under OAuth Connection Settings near the bottom of the page, click on the connection.
5. Click on Test connection.
6. Sign in and authorize your app when prompted.

If the connection was configured correctly, you will be taken to a page with the access token that your bot would have received.

Security notes

• The verification code mechanism prevents a potential "man in the middle" attack by requiring evidence that the user who authorized the bot in the browser is the same person as the user who is chatting with the bot. Don't remove the need for a verification code without understanding what it is protecting against, and weighing the risk against your use case and threat model.
• Don't use the signin/verifyState message to pass sensitive data (e.g., access tokens) directly to your bot in plaintext. The state value should not be usable without additional information that's available only to your bot.
• The Teams app sends the signin/verifyState invoke message in a way that's equivalent to the user typing a message to your bot. This means that although the user information in the message is not falsifiable, a malicious user can tamper with the payload, or send additional invoke messages that were not initiated by your app.
• Store your users’ access tokens in such a way that they are encrypted at rest, especially if you are also storing refresh tokens. Consider, based on your use case and threat model, how often to rotate the encryption key. (The sample uses an in-memory store for simplicity; do not do this in your production app!)
• If you are using OAuth, remember that the state parameter in the authentication request must contain a unique session token to prevent request forgery attacks. The sample uses a randomly-generated GUID.

Mobile clients

As of April 2019, Microsoft Teams mobile clients support the signin action protocol (that is, mobile clients work the same way as the desktop/web clients). It does require an updated version of the Microsoft Teams JavaScript library (1.4.1 or later). The way it used to work is described here.
