Microsoft Azure Active Directory

To enable OAuth2 support:

  • Fill in Client ID and Client Secret settings. These values can be obtained easily as described in Azure AD Application Registration doc:

    SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_OAUTH2_KEY = ''
    SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_OAUTH2_SECRET = ''
    
  • Also it’s possible to define extra permissions with:

    SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_OAUTH2_RESOURCE = ''
    

    This is the resource you would like to access after authentication succeeds. Some of the possible values are: https://graph.windows.net or https://<your Sharepoint site name>-my.sharepoint.com.

    When using Microsoft Graph, the resource needed is:

    SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_OAUTH2_RESOURCE = 'https://graph.microsoft.com/'
    
  • Add the backend to the authentication backends setting:

    AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
        ...
        'social_core.backends.azuread.AzureADOAuth2',
        ...
    )
    
  • If you are using an authority host other than the default AZURE_PUBLIC_CLOUD ('login.microsoftonline.com') then you can override the default with the AUTHORITY_HOST setting. A list of Azure authority hosts can be found in the Azure Authority Hosts doc:

    SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_OAUTH2_AUTHORITY_HOST = ''
    

Tenant Support

If the app is linked to a specific tenant (vs the common tenant) it’s possible to use a version of the backend with tenant support.

Note: The backends are split because of the needed cryptography dependencies which must be installed manually.

To enable OAuth2 Tenant support:

  • Fill in Client ID and Client Secret settings. These values can be obtained easily as described in Azure AD Application Registration doc:

    SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_TENANT_OAUTH2_KEY = ''
    SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_TENANT_OAUTH2_SECRET = ''
    
  • Fill in the tenant id:

    SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_TENANT_OAUTH2_TENANT_ID = ''
    
  • Also it’s possible to define extra permissions with:

    SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_TENANT_OAUTH2_RESOURCE = ''
    

    This is the resource you would like to access after authentication succeeds. Some of the possible values are: https://graph.windows.net or https://<your Sharepoint site name>-my.sharepoint.com.

    When using Microsoft Graph, the resource needed is:

    SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_TENANT_OAUTH2_RESOURCE = 'https://graph.microsoft.com/'
    
  • Add the backend to the authentication backends setting:

    AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
        ...
        'social_core.backends.azuread_tenant.AzureADTenantOAuth2',
        ...
    )
    
  • If you are using an authority host other than the default AZURE_PUBLIC_CLOUD (‘login.microsoftonline.com’) then you can override the default with the AUTHORITY_HOST setting. The Azure authority hosts are listed in the Azure Authority Hosts doc:

    SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_TENANT_OAUTH2_AUTHORITY_HOST = ''
    

B2C Tenant

If the app needs custom business logic for authentication then use the Azure AD B2C tenant.

To enable OAuth2 B2C Tenant support:

  • Fill in Client ID and Client Secret settings. These values can be obtained easily as described in Azure AD Application Registration doc:

    SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_B2C_OAUTH2_KEY = ''
    SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_B2C_OAUTH2_SECRET = ''
    
  • Fill in the tenant id:

    SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_B2C_OAUTH2_TENANT_NAME = ''
    
  • Fill in the B2C policy:

    SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_B2C_OAUTH2_POLICY = ''
    

The policy should start with b2c_. For more information see Azure AD B2C User flows and custom policies overview doc.

  • Also it’s possible to define extra permissions with:

    SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_B2C_OAUTH2_RESOURCE = ''
    

    This is the resource you would like to access after authentication succeeds. Some of the possible values are: https://graph.windows.net or https://<your Sharepoint site name>-my.sharepoint.com.

    When using Microsoft Graph, the resource needed is:

    SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_B2C_OAUTH2_RESOURCE = 'https://graph.microsoft.com/'
    
  • Add the backend to the authentication backends setting:

    AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
        ...
        'social_core.backends.azuread_b2c.AzureADB2COAuth2',
        ...
    )
    
  • If you are using an authority host other than the default AZURE_PUBLIC_CLOUD (‘b2clogin.com’) then you can override the default with the AUTHORITY_HOST setting.
