NodeBB AzureAD OAuth SSO

NodeBB Plugin that allows users to login/register via Azure AD OAuth provider.

Register NodeBB application on Azure

1. Sign in to the Azure portal using either a work or school account, or a personal Microsoft account.

2. If your account is present in more than one Azure AD tenant:

   • Select your profile from the menu on the top right corner of the page, and then Switch directory.
   • Change your session to the Azure AD tenant where you want to create your application.

3. Navigate to Azure Active Directory > App registrations (Preview) to register your app.

4. Select New registration.

5. When the Register an application page appears, enter your app's registration information:

   • In the Name section, enter a meaningful name that will be displayed to users of the app. For example: NodeBB
   • In the Supported account types section, select Accounts in any organizational directory and personal Microsoft accounts (e.g. Skype, Xbox, Outlook.com).

   If there are more than one redirect URIs, you'll need to add these from the Authentication tab later after the app has been successfully created.

6. Select Register to create the app.

7. On the app's Overview page, find the Application (client) ID value and record it for later. You'll need this value to configure the application later in this project.

8. In the list of pages for the app, select Authentication.

   • In the Redirect URIs section, select Web in the combo-box and enter the following redirect URI: https://<nodebb-url>/auth/azuread/callback
   • In the Advanced settings section, set Logout URL to https://<nodebb-url>/logout.
   • In the Advanced settings > Implicit grant section, check ID tokens as this sample requires the Implicit grant flow to be enabled to sign-in the user.

9. Select Save.

10. From the Certificates & secrets page, in the Client secrets section, choose New client secret.

    • Enter a key description (for instance app secret).
    • Select a key duration of either In 1 year, In 2 years, or Never Expires.
    • When you click the Add button, the key value will be displayed. Copy the key value and save it in a safe location.

    You'll need this key later to configure the application. This key value will not be displayed again, nor retrievable by any other means, so record it as soon as it is visible from the Azure portal.
