Aspnetcore: Question: AAD Authentication integration sample/ advice

[kieronlanning]

Is there any reference material on integrating Azure Active Directory for authentication into the Blazor framework?

Similar, presumably, to ADAL.JS?

[SteveSandersonMS]

At this stage no, there's nothing specific - sorry! It's too early. However it should be possible to integrate any existing JS solution via the JS interop APIs.

[kieronlanning]

Cool, I'll give that a go. Thanks.

[kieronlanning]

As an update, it took about 20mins to integrate and get that library working.

[danroth27]

Nice! Is this code someplace that you can share?

[kieronlanning]

@danroth27 It's not, but I'll pull a sample together over the next day or so and link it here.

Although, it's worth pointing out that it's almost entirely JS based.

[kieronlanning]

@danroth27 Here's a quick and dirty sample, instructions in the read me!

Very cool! @blowdart @SaeedAkhter-MSFT it would be great if you guys could take a look and review this usage of adal.js from a Blazor app.

[gpeipman]

I have here more complete sample: gpeipman/BlazorDemo.

BlazorDemo.AdalClient project has the following features:

• adaljs for Azure AD integration
• automatic authentication
• Azure Functions backend (Azure AD authentication is supported by code)
• data manipulation in Blazor using fresh tokens provided by adaljs
• thin JavaScript interop for getting tokens
• project runs also on Azure Storage static websites

Blog post and updated project description at GitHub will come in the beginning of next week.

@SteveSandersonMS Is there any danger on dragging unmarshalled C# actions to JS interop and then back to Blazor again?
