Umbraco-cms: 8.9rc: x.properties.UmbracoBackOfficeExternalLoginOptions is undefined (Azure AD)

[SimonHilo]

x.properties.UmbracoBackOfficeExternalLoginOptions is undefined (Azure AD & 8.9RC)

I am trying to configure backoffice login with Azure AD in the new 8.9RC.

I run into a javascript error on the login page:

TypeError: x.properties.UmbracoBackOfficeExternalLoginOptions is undefined

I have configured the backend according to the examples given in the two packages:
Install-Package UmbracoCms.IdentityExtensions
Install-Package UmbracoCms.IdentityExtensions.AzureActiveDirectory

I think my configuration is correct, and I wouldn't expect a frontend error like this if it was wrong.

Thanks @SimonHilo Any chance you can share your configuration (without giving away the secrets that you need to put in there)?

When adding an external login, you will also need to provide the autoLinkOptions. (Omitting will result in the {{ greeting }} and the error in the console).

For example I added this to the UmbracoADAuthExtensions example to make it work.

var autoLinkOptions = new ExternalSignInAutoLinkOptions(true);  // autoLinkExternalAccount = true
autoLinkOptions.AllowManualLinking = false;

adOptions.SetBackOfficeExternalLoginProviderOptions(new BackOfficeExternalLoginProviderOptions
{
    AutoRedirectLoginToExternalProvider = false,
    DenyLocalLogin = false, // if ANY external provider has this property set, local login will be disabled
    AutoLinkOptions = autoLinkOptions,
});

@mebrein Yes, that solved the problem for me.

It would be helpful to include this in the initial UmbracoADAuthExtensions.

we'll be sure to make it not throw and set a default value.

Hi all,
Seems this is still affecting the user dialog in the backoffice. (8.9.1)
It just says "user.name".
I'll see about our AD options later, but just thought I'd drop a heads up.

We are also experiencing this issue. Is there a fix for it?

I will also post your other question from the other places you've mentioned for completeness:

@yasserpadia can you replicate the issue from a vanilla Umbraco install? Can you replicate the problem in 8.9?

@yasserpadia can you replicate the issue from a vanilla Umbraco install? Can you replicate the problem in 8.9?

Yes this is a problem on vanilla as well.

The following from @mebrein post with a tweak has actually fixed this issue.
Changing autoLinkOptions.AllowManualLinking = false to true as below.

Are you able to check if this is a complete fix and if it needs to be added to any documentation?

_var autoLinkOptions = new ExternalSignInAutoLinkOptions(true); // autoLinkExternalAccount = true
autoLinkOptions.AllowManualLinking = true;

adOptions.SetBackOfficeExternalLoginProviderOptions(new BackOfficeExternalLoginProviderOptions
{
AutoRedirectLoginToExternalProvider = false,
DenyLocalLogin = false, // if ANY external provider has this property set, local login will be disabled
AutoLinkOptions = autoLinkOptions,
});_

Thanks @yasserpadia that sounds like a bug, are you able to open a new one with simple steps to replicate?
