How to use passport.js and OpenID Connect strategy with Azure AD

Question

I looking to authenticate users using OpenID Connect, Node.js, Passport.js against Azure AD. Could you please point me to any resources/docs and/or sample code?

I came across passport-openidconnect. Is this still the active module? are you aware of any other module that I could use for this? If so if you could point me to some sample code that would be great!

Answer 1

There is a passport module specifically for Azure AD called passport-azure-ad

The steps to do set this up are:

1. Register your application (in Azure AD)
2. Install all the required npm packages.

3. Setup your app to use the passport-azure-ad.

   3.a Setup the passport strategy

   3.b Add methods to keep track of logged in users

   3.c Initialize passport while loading the express engine

   3.d Add the routes that will handle login/logoff

4. Use passport to issue sign-in and sign-out requests to Azure AD

Check out the official docs (which include a sample) for code for each of these steps: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/active-directory-devquickstarts-openidconnect-nodejs/
