- in the Azure Management Portal at https://manage.windowsazure.com navigate to Azure Active Directory and register a new web application:
- as the name use anything you want
- as the sign-in URL use the URL of the previously created API App
- from the **api** folder, in Visual Studio open the **api.securecall.sln** file
- update the web.config file with your tenant name i.e. **contoso.onmicrosoft.com** and the audience with the application uri i.e. **https://contoso.onmicrosoft.com/WebPAPI**
- build the solution
- deploy the **api.securecall.sln** project to the newly created API App
- confirm that the API is secured with AAD by in your web browser navigating to **https://your-api-app.azurewebsites.net/api/item**. You should be not be allowed access to the endpoint
- in the Azure Management Portal at https://manage.windowsazure.com navigate to Azure Active Directory and register a new web application
- as the name use anything you want
- as the sign-in URL use **https://your-sharepoint-tenant/sites/my-team-site/documents/workbench.aspx**
- add permissions to other applications
- add Graph API
- in the list of **Delegated Permissions** add **Read users full-profile**
- change the filter to show all applications
- from the list of applications select **Your Custom Web API**
- in the list of **Delegated Permissions** select **Access You Custom Web API**
- copy the application ID
### Configure the web part
- in the command line change the working directory to the **webpart** folder
- in the command line run `npm i`
- in your code editor open the **webpart** folder
- in the **./src/webparts/angularSecureCall/app.module.ts** file
- replace the tenant with your tenant name
- replace the GUID in the **clientId** property with the application ID of the Client Application you registered with AAD
- in the **endpoints** property, replace the URL of the API with the URL of your API App
- in the **./src/webparts/angularSecureCall/app/webAPIService.ts** file
- in line 13 replace the url with url endpoint of you Web API Application **https://your-api-app.azurewesites.net/api/item**
- in the **./src/weparts/angularSecureCall/app/elevatedprivileges/elevatedprivilegesController.ts** file
- in lines 41 and 50 replace the application url with the application url of your Web API Application
- in the command line execute `gulp serve`
- add the web part to SharePoint workbench
- in the web part sign in with your organizational account
- you will need to click the acquire token buttons before you can make the calls to the Graph API and You Custom API
> Note: When you first login, the screen will refresh several times. I tried using the popUp feature with adal,
> however, this caused a infinite digest loop. Also ideally you should be able to make the calls to both the Graph
> API and your custom Web API without having to acquire the bearer tokens first, however, what happens is the app
