This sample demonstrates how to set up OpenId Connect authentication in a web application built using Node.js with Express. The sample is designed to run on any platform.
To run this sample you will need the following:
-
Install Node.js from http://nodejs.org/
-
Either a Microsoft account or Office 365 for business account
Create a new app at apps.dev.microsoft.com, or follow these detailed steps. Make sure to:
- Copy down the Application Id assigned to your app, you'll need it soon.
- Add the Web platform for your app.
- Enter the correct Redirect URI. The redirect uri indicates to Azure AD where authentication responses should be directed - the default for this sample is
http://localhost:3000/auth/openid/return'
. - Add a new Application secret by clicking the Generate new password button. This value will not be displayed again, so save the result in a temporary location as you'll need it in the next step.
Next, clone the sample repo and install the NPM modules.
From your shell or command line:
$ git clone [email protected]:AzureADQuickStarts/AppModelv2-WebApp-OpenIDConnect-nodejs.git
From the project root directory, run the command:
$ npm install
Provide the parameters in exports.creds
in config.js as instructed.
- Update
<tenant_name>
inexports.identityMetadata
with the Azure AD tenant name of the format *.onmicrosoft.com. - Update
exports.clientID
with the Application Id noted from app registration. - Update
exports.clientSecret
with the Application secret noted from app registration. - Update
exports.redirectUrl
with the Redirect URI noted from app registration.
Optional configuration for production apps:
-
Update
exports.destroySessionUrl
in config.js, if you want to use a differentpost_logout_redirect_uri
. -
Set
exports.useMongoDBSessionStore
in config.js to true, if you want to use use mongoDB or other compatible session stores. The default session store in this sample isexpress-session
. Note that the default session store is not suitable for production. -
Update
exports.databaseUri
, if you want to use mongoDB session store and a different database URI. -
Update
exports.mongoDBSessionMaxAge
. Here you can specify how long you want to keep a session in mongoDB. The unit is second(s).
-
Start mongoDB service. If you are using mongoDB session store in this app, you have to install mongoDB and start the service first. If you are using the default session store, you can skip this step.
-
Run the app using the following command from your command line.
$ node app.js
Is the server output hard to understand?: We use bunyan
for logging in this sample. The console won't make much sense to you unless you also install bunyan and run the server like above but pipe it through the bunyan binary:
$ npm install -g bunyan
$ node app.js | bunyan
You will have a server successfully running on http://localhost:3000
.
