# Configuring Azure Authentication for React App (OIDC)
|
|
*Authored on 21/12/2021*
|
|
|
|
`datahub-frontend` server can be configured to authenticate users over OpenID Connect (OIDC). As such, it can be configured to
|
|
delegate authentication responsibility to identity providers like Microsoft Azure.
|
|
|
|
This guide will provide steps for configuring DataHub authentication using Microsoft Azure.
|
|
|
|
## Steps
|
|
|
|
### 1. Create an application registration in Microsoft Azure portal
|
|
|
|
a. Using an account linked to your organization, navigate to the [Microsoft Azure Portal](https://portal.azure.com).
|
|
|
|
b. Select **App registrations**, then **New registration** to register a new app.
|
|
|
|
c. Name your app registration and choose who can access your application.
|
|
|
|
d. Select `Web` as the **Redirect URI** type and enter the following:
|
|
```
|
|
https://your-datahub-domain.com/callback/oidc
|
|
```
|
|
If you are just testing locally, the following can be used: `http://localhost:9002/callback/oidc`.
|
|
Azure supports more than one redirect URI, so both can be configured at the same time from the **Authentication** tab once the registration is complete.
|
|
|
|
At this point, your app registration should look like the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
e. Click **Register**.
|
|
|
|
### 2. Configure Authentication (optional)
|
|
|
|
Once registration is done, you will land on the app registration **Overview** tab. On the left-side navigation bar, click on **Authentication** under **Manage** and add extra redirect URIs if need be (if you want to support both local testing and Azure deployments).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Click **Save**.
|
|
|
|
### 3. Configure Certificates & secrets
|
|
|
|
On the left-side navigation bar, click on **Certificates & secrets** under **Manage**.
|
|
Select **Client secrets**, then **New client secret**. Type in a meaningful description for your secret and select an expiry. Click the **Add** button when you are done.
|
|
|
|
**IMPORTANT:** Copy the `value` of your newly create secret since Azure will never display its value afterwards.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 4. Configure API permissions
|
|
|
|
On the left-side navigation bar, click on **API permissions** under **Manage**. DataHub requires the following four Microsoft Graph APIs:
|
|
|
|
1. `User.Read` *(should be already configured)*
|
|
2. `profile`
|
|
3. `email`
|
|
4. `openid`
|
|
|
|
Click on **Add a permission**, then from the **Microsoft APIs** tab select **Microsoft Graph**, then **Delegated permissions**. From the **OpenId permissions** category, select `email`, `openid`, `profile` and click **Add permissions**.
|
|
|
|
At this point, you should be looking at a screen like the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 5. Obtain Application (Client) ID
|
|
|
|
On the left-side navigation bar, go back to the **Overview** tab. You should see the `Application (client) ID`. Save its value for the next step.
|
|
|
|
### 6. Obtain Discovery URI
|
|
|
|
On the same page, you should see a `Directory (tenant) ID`. Your OIDC discovery URI will be formatted as follows:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant ID}/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configuration
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 7. Configure `datahub-frontend` to enable OIDC authentication
|
|
|
|
a. Open the file `docker/datahub-frontend/env/docker.env`
|
|
|
|
b. Add the following configuration values to the file:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
AUTH_OIDC_ENABLED=true
|
|
AUTH_OIDC_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
|
|
AUTH_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret
|
|
AUTH_OIDC_DISCOVERY_URI=https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant ID}/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configuration
|
|
AUTH_OIDC_BASE_URL=your-datahub-url
|
|
AUTH_OIDC_SCOPE="openid profile email groups"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Replacing the placeholders above with the client id (step 5), client secret (step 3) and tenant ID (step 6) received from Microsoft Azure.
|
|
|
|
### 9. Restart `datahub-frontend-react` docker container
|
|
|
|
Now, simply restart the `datahub-frontend-react` container to enable the integration.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docker-compose -p datahub -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.override.yml up datahub-frontend-react
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Navigate to your DataHub domain to see SSO in action.
