Register an application

1. Open a browser and navigate to the Azure Active Directory admin center. Login using a personal account (aka: Microsoft Account) or Work or School Account.

2. Select Azure Active Directory in the left-hand navigation, then select App registrations under Manage.

3. Select New registration. On the Register an application page, set the values as follows.

   • Set Name to Outlook Contacts VCF Tool.
   • Set Supported account types to Accounts in any organizational directory and personal Microsoft accounts.
   • Under Redirect URI, set the first drop-down to Web and set the value to http://localhost:3000/auth/microsoft_graph_auth/callback.

5. Select API permissions under Manage. Select Add a permission. Select Microsoft Graph, then Delegated permissions. Add the Contacts.ReadWrite permission, then select Add permissions.

6. Select Certificates & secrets under Manage. Select the New client secret button. Enter a value in Description and select one of the options for Expires and select Add.

   Important: This client secret is never shown again, so make sure you copy it now.

Configure the sample

The sample reads the app ID and secret from the Rails credentials API. You need to add these values to the credentials.yml.enc file.

1. Open your command-line interface (CLI) in the ./vcftool directory.

2. Run the following command to edit credentials:

   rails credentials:edit

   Note: If you receive an error No $EDITOR to open file in, you need to configure a text editor in the EDITOR environment variable. For more information, run rails credentials:help or visit Securing Rails Applications.

3. Add the following to the credentials file and save it.

   # Azure
   azure:
     app_id: c9fb1bd9-ecc1-4c8a-a945-8f587dc95826
     app_secret: Y7UjylVrdEBiPuIiRz@Ai@.tO:OX205@

Running the sample

Setup

1. Open your CLI and run bundle install to install dependencies.
2. Run bundle exec rake db:setup to setup the database.
3. Run rails server to run the sample.
4. Open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000.
