OpenIDConnect Demo

Single and Multi tenant authorization using ASP NET Core and Active Directory

Infrastructure provision

• Create resource group: az group create --name "rg-open-id-connect" --location "centralus"
• Create AD app registration: az ad app create --display-name "webappoidc"
• Get Application (client) ID from Azure portal: d9334586-4f28-4277-9358-18d6bc025638
• Get Directory (tenant) ID from Azure portal: b40a105f-0643-4922-8e60-10fc1abf9c4b

Update Authentication blade inside app registration

Set the following parameters inside Authentication blade, Click "Add platform" of type "Web"

And enter the following values:

As per screenshot below

Create AD User via Azure Powershell

Requires:

• Update Windows Powershell as Administrator using: Install-Module PSWindowsUpdate
• Install Azure PowerShell
• Install as Powershell Administrator: Install-Module AzureAD

Create User

• Connect to AD: Connect-AzureAD -TenantId "b40a105f-0643-4922-8e60-10fc1abf9c4b"
• Define AD domain variable: $aadDomainName = ((Get-AzureAdTenantDetail).VerifiedDomains)[0].Name
• Create password profile:
  • $passwordProfile = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.Open.AzureAD.Model.PasswordProfile
  • $passwordProfile.Password = 'Pa55w.rd1234'
  • $passwordProfile.ForceChangePasswordNextLogin = $false
• Create new user: New-AzureADUser -AccountEnabled $true -DisplayName 'aad_lab_user1' -PasswordProfile $passwordProfile -MailNickName 'aad_lab_user1' -UserPrincipalName "aad_lab_user1@$aadDomainName"
• Print new user principal name: (Get-AzureADUser -Filter "MailNickName eq 'aad_lab_user1'").UserPrincipalName
• UPN: aad_lab_user1@kolosovp94gmail.onmicrosoft.com

Create ASP NET Core MVC application

• Connect to AD: Connect-AzureAD -TenantId "b40a105f-0643-4922-8e60-10fc1abf9c4b"
• Define AD domain variable: $aadDomainName = ((Get-AzureAdTenantDetail).VerifiedDomains)[0].Name
• Create application using client ID and tenant ID: dotnet new mvc --auth SingleOrg --client-id "d9334586-4f28-4277-9358-18d6bc025638" --tenant-id "b40a105f-0643-4922-8e60-10fc1abf9c4b" --domain $aadDomainName
• Update nuget packages:
  • Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.JwtBearer
  • Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.OpenIdConnect
  • Microsoft.Identity.Web
  • Microsoft.Identity.Web.UI

Test your MVC application

From my prospective it is as follows

Configure a multi-tenant Azure AD environment

Create an Azure AD tenant

• In the Azure portal, navigate to the Azure Active Directory blade.

• On the Azure Active Directory blade, select Manage tenants, and then select + Create.

• On the Basics tab of the Create a tenant blade, ensure that the Azure Active Directory option is selected, and then select Next: Configuration >.

• On the Configuration tab of the Create a tenant blade, specify the following settings:

  • Organization name: Contoso
  • Initial domain name: contosopkolosov
  • Country/Region: Poland

• Select Review + create, and then select Create.

• If prompted, on the Help us prove you're not a robot, enter the provided code, and then select Submit.

• Wait for the provisioning to complete, and then select the Contoso link to navigate to the blade that displays properties of the Contoso Azure AD tenant.

• On the Overview blade of the Azure AD tenant, identify and record the value of its Tenant ID property. You'll use this value later in the lab.

• Contoso Tenant ID: f6009e3f-a3f3-40cd-8fe7-afb972534c91

Create an Azure AD user

• Connect to AD using Az Powershell: Connect-AzureAD -TenantId "f6009e3f-a3f3-40cd-8fe7-afb972534c91"
• Define AD domain variable: $aadDomainName = ((Get-AzureAdTenantDetail).VerifiedDomains)[0].Name
• Create password profile:
  • $passwordProfile = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.Open.AzureAD.Model.PasswordProfile
  • $passwordProfile.Password = 'Pa55w.rd1234'
  • $passwordProfile.ForceChangePasswordNextLogin = $false
• Create new user: New-AzureADUser -AccountEnabled $true -DisplayName 'aad_lab_user2' -PasswordProfile $passwordProfile -MailNickName 'aad_lab_user2' -UserPrincipalName "aad_lab_user2@$aadDomainName"
• Print new user principal name: (Get-AzureADUser -Filter "MailNickName eq 'aad_lab_user2'").UserPrincipalName
• UPN: aad_lab_user2@contosopkolosov.onmicrosoft.com

Configure a multi-tenant ASP.NET Core web app

Configure the application registration in Azure AD

• Switch to the Azure portal, and then select the Directories + subscriptions toolbar icon.

• On the Portal settings | Directories + subscriptions blade, select Switch next to the entry representing the Azure AD tenant associated with your subscription.

• On the Azure Active Directory blade, select App registrations in the Manage section.

• In the list of app registrations, select webappoidc.

• On the webappoidc application registration blade, select Authentication in the Manage section.

• In the Supported account types section, select Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Azure AD directory Multi-tenant).

• Select Save.

Test API with Postman

1. Create application scope: App registration -> Expose API
2. Create client secret: App registration -> Certificates and Secrets -> New client secret
3. Record the value of secret
4. Get auth endpoint: App registrations -> Endpoints (up menu)
5. Use OAuth 2.0 token endpoint (v2): https://login.microsoftonline.com/b40a105f-0643-4922-8e60-10fc1abf9c4b/oauth2/v2.0/token
6. Create POST request in Postman with following parameters:
   • Header:
     • Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
   • Body:
     • grant_type: client_credentials
     • client_id: ff97d604-c3de-46c8-a96c-1d3491998d7c
     • client_secret: $secretYouCreated -- from step 3
     • scope: api://ff97d604-c3de-46c8-a96c-1d3491998d7c/.default -- from step 1

So that it looks like
