An React Native module implements Azure AD V2.0 authentication flow
npm install react-native-azure-auth
React Native library implementing Azure AD OAuth2 API
The library uses the latest __V2.0__ version of the Azure AD endponts and provides token cache functionality.react-native-azure-auth implements authentication flow using fetch API and native components.
The OpenID connect and authorization_code grant are implemented.

ATTENTION! react-native-azure-auth project is looking for maintainers and contributors!
For various reasons, I can only keep maintaining this project as far as dependency bumps and publishing.
As for new features and the bug/issue support, these will require other maintainers/contributors.
If that's you - please feel free to ping me and I will add you to contributors of this repo with according rights.
Install react-native-azure-auth using npm
``bash`
npm install react-native-azure-auth --save
Or via yarn (recommended)
`bash`
yarn add react-native-azure-auth
Then you need to link the native modules in react-native-azure-auth and used AsyncStorage.
Please check the link.
If you have used library before, it could be needed also to unlink the community version of AsyncStorage too.
Note: If you are using autolinking please be aware of caution to unlink the libraries in the autolinking docs. Especially if you are encountered the problem like issue #98
First, you will need to register your application with Microsoft Azure Portal. This will give you an Application ID for your application, as well as enable it to receive tokens.
1. Sign in to the Microsoft Azure Portal.
1. First you need to find the App Registration Service. You could just type in the service name in the search bar on the middle top of the window and select it or do like following:
1. Click on All services in the left panel
2. Then select from the shown in bold categories the Identity
3. Click on the star sign near the _App registration_ service name to add it to favorites
4. Now you can easily access the service using the left portal panel
1. After selecting _App registration_ service click New registration
1. Enter a friendly name for the application
1. Select account type that should be supported by your app. The default choice _"Accounts in any organizational directory and personal Microsoft accounts"_ is the widest one.
1. Now you need to add Redirect URI
1. Select _Public client (mobile & desktop)_ from dropdown
2. Type in the URI. See the URI format in the section below.
1. Click Register to create the app registration record.
1. Find the _Application (client) ID_ value in Overview section, copy and save the value in a safe location.
1. You don't need to set _API Permissions_. It is meant for admin consent only.
1. Now select Authentication from the left menu
1. Select checkbox ID tokens[^implicitgrantnote] in the _Implicit grant_ section - it is needed for OpenID Connect. The library will still use authorization grant and not implicit.
1. Click Save button above to save changes.
[^implicitgrantnote]: This checkbox might not exist (anymore).
If this is the case, go to Manifest and set the following values to true:
`json`
"oauth2AllowIdTokenImplicitFlow": true,
"oauth2AllowImplicitFlow": true,
#### Callback URL(s)
Callback URLs are the URIs that Azure AD invokes after the authentication process. Azure routes your application back to this URI and appends additional parameters to it, including a token. Since callback URLs can be manipulated, you will need to add your application's URL to your apps's registered Redirect-URIs. This will enable Azure to recognize these URLs as valid. If omitted, authentication will not be successful.
##### iOS - default redirect URI structure
`text`
{YOUR_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER}://{YOUR_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER}/ios/callback
##### Android - default redirect URI structure
`text`
{YOUR_APP_PACKAGE_NAME}://{YOUR_APP_PACKAGE_NAME}/android/callback
Note 1: Make sure to replace {YOUR_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER} and {YOUR_APP_PACKAGE_NAME} with the actual values for your application.
Note 2: Be aware of allowed characters for the scheme part of URI. According to RFC 2396 (Section 3.1):
`text`
scheme = alpha *( alpha | digit | "+" | "-" | "." )
As you can see, allowed in identifier and package name underscore (_) character is NOT allowed in the URI scheme!
##### Custom redirect URI
You are free to use any custom URI taking into account restrictions stated above. Just add redirectUri: parameter to the AzureAuth initialization call.
See the docs and Usage section.
##### Single tenant app registration
To be able to use this app type you should add tenant property in the AzureAuth init options like this:
`javascript`
const azureAuth = new AzureAuth({
clientId: YOUR_CLIENT_ID,
tenant: 'XXXXXXXX-YYYY-ZZZZ-AAAA-BBBBBBBBBBBB', // your app tenant ID
});
#### Android config
In the file android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml you must make sure the MainActivity of the app has a launchMode value of singleTask and that it has the following intent filter:
`xml`
android:host="${applicationId}"
android:scheme="${applicationId}" />
The applicationId here should be the same as your app package name, and not the ID from MS App Portal.
You would have the following MainActivity configuration:
`xml`
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:launchMode="singleTask"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">
android:host="${applicationId}"
android:scheme="${applicationId}" />
> For more info please read react native docs
#### iOS config
Inside the ios folder find the file AppDelegate.[swift|m] add the following to it
`objc
// iOS 9.x or newer
#import
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
openURL:(NSURL *)url
options:(NSDictionary
{
return [RCTLinkingManager application:application openURL:url options:options];
}
`
If you're targeting iOS 8.x or older, you can use the following code instead:
`objc
// iOS 8.x or older
#import
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication )application openURL:(NSURL )url
sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication annotation:(id)annotation
{
return [RCTLinkingManager application:application openURL:url
sourceApplication:sourceApplication annotation:annotation];
}
`
Inside the ios folder open the Info.plist and locate the value for CFBundleIdentifier, e.g.
`xml`
> The value org.reactjs.native.example.$(PRODUCT_NAME:rfc1034identifier) is the default for apps created with React Native CLI, you may have a different value.
>
> It is advisable to replace it with your own meaningfull ID in reverse DNS format. e.g. _com.my-domain.native-app_
and then register a URL type entry using the value of CFBundleIdentifier as the value of CFBundleURLSchemes
`xml`
>Attention: The value for CFBundleURLSchemes key MUST be the literal value of the Bundle Identifier with NO $-variables. In the example above the string com.my-domain.native-app represents _your_ Bundle Identifier.
For more info please read react native docs
`js
import AzureAuth from 'react-native-azure-auth';
const azureAuth = new AzureAuth({
clientId: 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID'
});
`
`js`
try {
let tokens = await azureAuth.webAuth.authorize({scope: 'openid profile User.Read Mail.Read' })
this.setState({ accessToken: tokens.accessToken });
let info = await azureAuth.auth.msGraphRequest({token: tokens.accessToken, path: '/me'})
this.setState({ user: info.displayName, userId: tokens.userId })
} catch (error) {
console.log(error)
}
`js``
try {
// Try to get cached token or refresh an expired ones
let tokens = await azureAuth.auth.acquireTokenSilent({scope: 'Mail.Read', userId: this.state.userId})
if (!tokens) {
// No cached tokens or the requested scope defines new not yet consented permissions
// Open a window for user interaction
tokens = await azureAuth.webAuth.authorize({scope: 'Mail.Read'})
}
let mails = await azureAuth.auth.msGraphRequest({token: tokens.accessToken, path: '/me/mailFolders/Inbox/messages'})
} catch (error) {
console.log(error)
}
