Teams Auth Bot

Bot Framework v4 bot using Teams authentication

This bot has been created using Bot Framework, it shows how to get started with authentication in a bot for Microsoft Teams.

The focus of this sample is how to use the Bot Framework support for oauth in your bot. Teams behaves slightly differently than other channels in this regard. Specifically an Invoke Activity is sent to the bot rather than the Event Activity used by other channels. This Invoke Activity must be forwarded to the dialog if the OAuthPrompt is being used. This is done by subclassing the ActivityHandler and this sample includes a reusable TeamsActivityHandler. This class is a candidate for future inclusion in the Bot Framework SDK.

The sample uses the bot authentication capabilities in Azure Bot Service, providing features to make it easier to develop a bot that authenticates users to various identity providers such as Azure AD (Azure Active Directory), GitHub, Uber, etc. The OAuth token is then used to make basic Microsoft Graph queries.

IMPORTANT: The manifest file in this app adds "token.botframework.com" to the list of validDomains. This must be included in any bot that uses the Bot Framework OAuth flow.

  • Interaction with the bot bot-teams-auth

Try it yourself - experience the App in your Microsoft Teams client

Please find below demo manifest which is deployed on Microsoft Azure and you can try it yourself by uploading the app package (.zip file link below) to your teams and/or as a personal app. (Sideloading must be enabled for your tenant, see steps here).

Teams Auth Bot: Manifest

Prerequisites

  • Microsoft Teams is installed and you have an account (not a guest account)
  • Node.js
     # determine node version
     node --version
  • ngrok or equivalent tunnelling solution

Setup

1. Setup for App Registration

Note these instructions are for running the sample on your local machine, the tunnelling solution is required because the Teams service needs to call into the bot.

  1. Register a new application in the Azure Active Directory – App Registrations portal.
  2. Select New Registration and on the register an application page, set following values:
    • Set name to your app name.
    • Choose the supported account types (any account type will work)
    • Leave Redirect URI empty.
    • Choose Register.
  3. On the overview page, copy and save the Application (client) ID, Directory (tenant) ID. You’ll need those later when updating your Teams application manifest and in the .env.
  4. Navigate to API Permissions, and make sure to add the follow permissions:
    • Select Add a permission
    •  Select Microsoft Graph -> Delegated permissions.
      • User.Read (enabled by default)
      • openid
    • Click on Add permissions. Please make sure to grant the admin consent for the required permissions.
  5. Navigate to Authentication If an app hasn't been granted IT admin consent, users will have to provide consent the first time they use an app.
  • Set another redirect URI:
    • Select Add a platform.
    • Select web.
    • Enter the redirect URI https://token.botframework.com/.auth/web/redirect. This will be use for bot authenticaiton.
  1. Navigate to the Certificates & secrets. In the Client secrets section, click on "+ New client secret". Add a description(Name of the secret) for the secret and select “Never” for Expires. Click "Add". Once the client secret is created, copy its value, it need to be placed in the .env.

  2. Create a Bot Registration

    • Register a bot with Azure Bot Service, following the instructions here.

    • Ensure that you've enabled the Teams Channel

    • While registering the bot, use https://<your_ngrok_url>/api/messages as the messaging endpoint.

    • Select Configuration section.

    • Under configuration -> Add OAuth connection string.

    • Provide connection Name : for eg ConnectTeamsAuthentication

    • Select service provider ad Azure Active Directory V2

    • Complete the form as follows:

      1. Name: Enter a name for the connection. You'll use this name in your bot in the .env file.
      2. Client id: Enter the Application (client) ID that you recorded for your Azure identity provider app in the steps above.
      3. Client secret: Enter the secret that you recorded for your Azure identity provider app in the steps above.
      4. Tenant ID: Enter the Application (tenant) ID that you recorded for your Azure identity provider app in the steps above.
      5. Token Exchange Url: Leave it blank because it's used for SSO in Azure AD v2 only.
      6. Provide Scopes like "User.Read openid"
  3. Setup NGROK

    • Run ngrok - point to port 3978
    # ngrok http 3978 --host-header="localhost:3978"
  4. Setup for code

    • Clone the repository
    git clone https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples.git
  • In a terminal, navigate to samples\bot-teams-authentication\nodejs folder

  • Install modules

    npm install
  • Modify the .env file in your project folder (or in Visual Studio Code) and fill in below details:

    1. <<YOUR-MICROSOFT-APP-TYPE>> (Allowed values are: MultiTenant(default), SingleTenant, UserAssignedMSI)
    2. <<YOUR-MICROSOFT-APP-ID>> - Generated from Step 1 (Application (client) ID)is the application app id
    3. <<YOUR-MICROSOFT-APP-PASSWORD>> - Generated from Step 6, also referred to as Client secret
    4. <<YOUR-MICROSOFT-APP-TENANT-ID>> - Generated from Step 1(Directory (tenant) ID) is the tenant id
    5. <<YOUR-CONNECTION-NAME>> - Generated from step 7.
  • Run your app

    npm start
  1. This step is specific to Teams.
    • Edit the manifest.json contained in the teamsAppManifest folder to replace your Microsoft App Id (that was created when you registered your bot earlier) everywhere you see the place holder string <<YOUR-MICROSOFT-APP-ID>> (depending on the scenario the MicrosoftAppId may occur multiple times in the manifest.json)
    • Edit the manifest.json for {{domain-name}} with base Url domain. E.g. if you are using ngrok it would be https://1234.ngrok-free.app then your domain-name will be 1234.ngrok-free.app.
    • Zip up the contents of the teamsAppManifest folder to create a manifest.zip (Make sure that zip file does not contains any subfolder otherwise you will get error while uploading your .zip package)
    • Upload the manifest.zip to Teams (In Teams Apps/Manage your apps click "Upload an app". Browse to and Open the .zip file. At the next dialog, click the Add button.)
    • Add the app to personal scope or 1:1 chat (Supported scope)
