Active Directory Authentication Library (ADAL) wrapper for (Angular X)
This library is a wrapper taking consideration different scenarios of how ADAL should be used with Angular 2+ without importing adal-angular in package.json
Reason:
You do not need to install "adal-angular": "^1.0.17" as that library is composed of adal.js and adal-angular.js.
adal-angular.js is the library for AngularJS meaning anything prior to Angular 2
adal.js is where the code we need is however since we need this file included in more than
one place installing this library is just plain redundant as we will still need to link
directly to adal.js and Microsoft serve it in their CDN for us or you could host it in your assets folder.
https://secure.aadcdn.microsoftonline-p.com/lib/1.0.17/js/adal.min.js
Also solutions revolving auth-callback.component.ts are wrong as ADAL will load the application a second time inside an iframe. So instead we load a frameRedirect.html inside the iframe just like we did in angularJS to avoid infinite loop.
Samples using this library at https://github.com/fairmutex/ngx-adal-8-samples these follow the the below instructions.
Registering Angular application with Azure can be found here
Take note of Application (client) ID (6) and Directory (tenant) Id (7)
In your angular.json under build section add "src/frameRedirect.html" as shown below to make it servable without triggering angular routing.
"assets": [
"src/favicon.ico",
"src/assets",
"src/frameRedirect.html"
],Create frameRedirect.html under src folder and inside frameRedirect.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Frame Redirect</title>
<script src="https://secure.aadcdn.microsoftonline-p.com/lib/1.0.17/js/adal.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script>
var adalConfig = {
clientId: 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID (6)'
};
var authContext = new AuthenticationContext(adalConfig);
authContext.handleWindowCallback();
if (window === window.parent) {
window.location.replace(location.origin + location.hash);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>In index.html put
<script src="https://secure.aadcdn.microsoftonline-p.com/lib/1.0.17/js/adal.min.js"></script>In app.module.ts
import { NgxAdalModule } from 'ngx-adal-8';Imports section
NgxAdalModule.forRoot({
tenant: `YOUR_TENANT_ID (7)`,
clientId: `YOUR_CLIENT_ID (6)`,
redirectUri: `frameRedirect.html`,
postLogoutRedirectUri: `frameRedirect.html`,
cacheLocation: 'localStorage',
}),3 App scenerios
App that either you are logged in or will send you to login upon visit
Without using guards
in your app.component.ts
import { NgxAdalService } from 'ngx-adal-8'; constructor(private authService:NgxAdalService){
if (!this.authService.isAuthenticated) {
this.authService.login();
}
}Using guards
In app-routing.module.ts
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { Routes, RouterModule } from '@angular/router';
const routes: Routes = [
{
path: 'secured',
component: SecuredComponent,
pathMatch: 'full',
canActivate: [NgxAdalGuard]
},
{ path: 'unsecured', component: UnsecuredComponent, pathMatch: 'full' },
{ path: '**', redirectTo: 'unsecured' }
];
@NgModule({
imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes)],
exports: [RouterModule]
})
export class AppRoutingModule {}App that have public facing and some parts require login. In some component perhaps navbar.component.ts login/logout buttons
constructor(private authService:NgxAdalService){
}
login(){
this.authService.login();
}
logout(){
this.authService.logout();
}Then use guards on the specific children routes.
