Hello!

I need to secure a web api (NOT backoffice) with bearer tokens from Azure AD. This should be possible according to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/active-directory-devquickstarts-webapi-dotnet .

But how do I integreate this with Umbraco? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I've tried this:

public class UmbracoCustomOwinStartup
{
    public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
    {
        app.UseWindowsAzureActiveDirectoryBearerAuthentication(
           new WindowsAzureActiveDirectoryBearerAuthenticationOptions
           {
               Tenant = "<tennant>",
               TokenValidationParameters = new TokenValidationParameters
               {
                   ValidAudience = "<tennant>/<guid>"
               }
           });

        app.ConfigureUserManagerForUmbracoBackOffice(
            ApplicationContext.Current,    
            MembershipProviderExtensions.GetUsersMembershipProvider().AsUmbracoMembershipProvider());
            .UseUmbracoBackOfficeCookieAuthentication(ApplicationContext.Current)
            .UseUmbracoBackOfficeExternalCookieAuthentication(ApplicationContext.Current);
    }
}

And then in my api controller:

    [HttpGet]
    [Authorize]
    public HttpResponseMessage Feed() {

        return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, ApiCache.Current.NewsFeed.OrderByDescending(x => x.Date).Take(30));
    }

But I get 401, and I dont think UseWindowsAzureActiveDirectoryBearerAuthentication is even used.

I have no answer for you, but I need to do something similar. I want to expose some download links and the files they refer to based on whether a user is logged into our Azure AD B2C. The rest of the content on the site is public, just that this secret content is hidden from the anonymous visitor.

I was close..

The solution is below. But its also VERY IMPORTANT to use the right settings..... (surprise!). You MUST sign in with to the same APP_ID you're using below. In my app I signed in to another one...

/// <summary>
/// The standard way to configure OWIN for Umbraco
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// The startup type is specified in appSettings under owin:appStartup - change it to "UmbracoStandardOwinStartup" to use this class
/// </remarks>

using Microsoft.IdentityModel.Protocols;
using Microsoft.Owin;
using Microsoft.Owin.Security.ActiveDirectory;
using Owin;
using RoGruppen.Application;
using System.IdentityModel.Tokens;
using Umbraco.Web;
using System.Linq;
[assembly: OwinStartup("UmbracoStandardOwinStartup", typeof(UmbracoStandardOwinStartup))]

namespace Thing.Application
{
    public class UmbracoStandardOwinStartup : UmbracoDefaultOwinStartup
    {
        public override void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
        {
            var stsDiscoveryEndpoint = string.Format("{0}/.well-known/openid-configuration", "https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant>");
            var configManager = new ConfigurationManager<OpenIdConnectConfiguration>(stsDiscoveryEndpoint);
            var config = configManager.GetConfigurationAsync().Result;

            app.UseWindowsAzureActiveDirectoryBearerAuthentication(new WindowsAzureActiveDirectoryBearerAuthenticationOptions
            {
                Tenant = "<tenant>",
                TokenValidationParameters = new TokenValidationParameters
                {
                    ValidAudience = "<tenant>/<APP_ID>",
                    ValidIssuer = config.Issuer,
                    IssuerSigningTokens = config.SigningTokens.ToList(),
                    RequireSignedTokens = true
                }
            });

            base.Configuration(app);
        }
    }
}
