SharePoint web part sample with SSO

Summary

Web parts is a special kind of SharePoint controls that can be supported by the Bot Framework. This sample will show you how to embed a Bot Framework bot into a SharePoint web site with SSO.

There are two parts included in this sample:

1. A login bot sample
2. A web parts sample

The web parts embeds the login bot by using a webchat. As the user has already login in the SharePoint website, we could use SSO to authorize the bot. This sample shows how to do this including:

• Detect and intercept OAuth process.
• Use SharePoint library to get the exchange token and send it back to the bot.

This demo does not include any threat models and is designed for educational purposes only. When you design a production system, threat-modelling is an important task to make sure your system is secure and provide a way to quickly identify potential source of data breaches. IETF RFC 6819 and OAuth 2.0 for Browser-Based Apps is a good starting point for threat-modelling when using OAuth 2.0.

Minimal Path to Awesome

Enlist

• Clone the repository

  git clone https://github.com/pnp/sp-dev-fx-webparts.git
  

Setup bot with Direct Line

• In a terminal, navigate to sp-dev-fx-webparts

  cd sp-dev-fx-webparts
  

• Navigate to the folder for this solution:

  cd samples
  cd react-bot-framework-sso
  

• Install modules

  npm install
  

• Register connections. You can get it done by deploy your bot to Azure. Save your bot service endpoint like: "https://YOUR_BOT.azurewebsites.net". Save your AAD Id as YOUR_APP_ID, AAD Name as YOUR_APP_Name and secret as YOUR_APP_PSW also.

• Connect to direct line, copy one of the Secret Key values as YOUR_DIRECT_LINE_SECRET and store this for later. This is your ‘Direct Line Secret’.

• Add DirectLineSecret to an .env config file under ./bot

  MicrosoftAppId=YOUR_APP_ID
  MicrosoftAppPassword=YOUR_APP_PSW
  DirectLineSecret=YOUR_DIRECT_LINE_SECRET
  

Setup OAuth via Azure Active Directory for the Bot

Check here for more information about getting an AADv2 application setup for use in Azure Bot Service.

• Go to your Azure Active Directory
• Open your bot's application registration
• Save the tenant ID
  • Select the "Overview" blade
  • On the main pane, copy the content of "Directory (tenant) ID" as YOUR_APP_TENANT and store this for later
• Update Authentication
  • Select the "Authentication" blade
  • Click "Add a platform" to add web if Web is not added
  • In "Redirect URIs" section, add a new entry https://token.botframework.com/.auth/web/redirect
• Update App Registration Manifest
  • Select the "Manifest" blade
    • Set accessTokenAcceptedVersion to 2
• Add a scope
  • Select the "Expose an API" blade
  • Click the "Add a scope" button under "Scopes defined by this API"
    • Click "Save and continue"
    • Add a scope named YOUR_AAD_SCOPE_NAME
    • Set "Who can consent?" to "Admins and users"
    • Add an admin consent display name
    • Add an admin consent description
    • Click "Add scope"
    • Save the Scope URL to configure authentication for the bot in the Bot Registration in the next section
      • api://123a45b6-789c-01de-f23g-h4ij5k67a8bc/<YOUR_AAD_SCOPE_NAME>
  • Select API permissions
    • Click "API Permissions", select"Add a permission"
    • Select "My APIs", YOUR_APP_ID, and enable YOUR_AAD_SCOPE_NAME scope \ Otherwise the non-admin user cannot use SSO.

Setup Authentication via Azure Bot Services for the Bot

Check the Add authentication to your bot via Azure Bot Service article for more information about adding authentication to your bot.

• Add OAuth Connection for the bot to the Bot Channel Registration
  • In the Bot Channel Registration open the settings blade
  • Under "OAuth Connection Settings" click the "Add Setting" button
    • Add new Connection Setting
      • Set the connection "Name"
      • Set the "Service Provider" to "Azure Active Directory 2"
      • Add the Client ID as YOUR_APP_ID, Client secret as YOUR_APP_PSW, and Tenant ID as YOUR_APP_TENANT
      • Set the "Token Exchange URL" to the scope URL that was created in the previous section
        • api://123a45b6-789c-01de-f23g-h4ij5k67a8bc/<YOUR_AAD_SCOPE_NAME>
      • Set the "Scopes" field to the scopes you want the bot to have permission to access (ie. user.read)

Republish bot

• Update .env with ConnectionName to .env config file under ./bot

  ConnectionName=YOUR_CONNECTION_NAME
  

• Republish your bot with new config or restart it in local use:

  npm start
  

Setup web parts

• Edit BotSignInToast.tsx to set your AAD scope uri(scopeUri) with api://YOUR_APP_ID directly like api://123a45b6-789c-01de-f23g-h4ij5k67a8bc:

  return tokenProvider.getToken(scopeUri, true).then((token: string) => {
  

• Add the following config to ./config/package-solution.json:

      "webApiPermissionRequests": [
  +     {
  +       "resource": "<YOUR_APP_Name>",
  +       "scope": "<YOUR_AAD_SCOPE_NAME>"
  +     }
      ],
  

• Install modules

  cd ../webpart
  npm install
  

• Publish and host webpart, prepare for approving permissions

• Refer Connect to Azure AD-secured APIs to publish and approve permissions from admin site

  • Please ensure your service principal had been enabled for your AAD account.
    • Check "Managed application in local directory" in your AAD overview blade in Azure Portal
  • Go to SharePoint admin center
  • Find "API Access", approve "<YOUR_APP_Name>"

• (Opt. for hosted bot service) Config CORS
  CORS must be set on bot app service to enable SharePoint client to get resource from bot service. Follow these steps to add your workbench to bot app service CORS configuration:

  1. Go to your azure portal
  2. Navigate to your bot app service, search for CORS settings
  3. Add https://localhost:4321 and https://<YOUR_SITE>.sharepoint.com to CORS origins

Setup OAuth via Azure Active Directory for the SharePoint

The following operations will need an admin account.

• Go to your Azure Active Directory
• Open "App registrations", find "SharePoint Online Client Extensibility Web Application Principal"
• Save the client ID
  • Select the "Overview" blade
  • On the main pane, copy the content of "Application ID" as YOUR_SHAREPOINT_ID and store this for later usage
• Update App Registration Manifest
  • Select the "Manifest" blade
    • Set accessTokenAcceptedVersion to 2

Add a client application to the OAuth for the Bot

• Open your bot's application registration
• Select the "Expose an API" blade
• Click the "Add a client application" under "Authorized client applications"
  • Set the client id to the YOUR_SHAREPOINT_ID
  • Check the box next to the scope we added in the previous step under "Authorized scopes"
  • Click "Add application"

Test web parts

• Go to webpart folder, in the command line run

  gulp serve
  

  Now web parts is running locally.

• Open online test page with user account: https://<YOUR_SITE>.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/Workbench.aspx

• Config bot endpoint
  Add the web parts, set bot endpoint to https://YOUR_BOT.azurewebsites.net, refresh this page, then you can successfully connect bot with SharePoint.

Features

Web Chat integration with SSO

First a store is used to intercept activities with OAuth card. When the client receives an OAuth request, the client will ask the user if it should use SSO to login instead.

const store = useMemo(
    () =>
        createStore({}, ({ dispatch }) => next => action => {
            if (action.type === 'DIRECT_LINE/INCOMING_ACTIVITY' && action.payload.activity.from.role === 'bot') {
                const activity =
                (action.payload.activity.attachments || []).find(
                    ({ contentType }) => contentType === 'application/vnd.microsoft.card.oauth'
                ) || {};
                const { content } = activity;

                if (content) {
                    const { tokenExchangeResource } = content;
                    const { uri } = tokenExchangeResource;

                    if (uri) {
                        dispatch({
                            type: 'WEB_CHAT/SET_NOTIFICATION',
                            payload: {
                                data: { content },
                                id: 'signin',
                                level: 'info',
                                message: 'Please sign in to the app.'
                            }
                            });

                        return false;
                    }
                }
            }

            return next(action);
        }),
    []
);

Web Chat could use toast for custom prompts:

const toastMiddleware = () => next => ({ notification, ...otherArgs }) => {
    const { id } = notification;
    if (id === 'signin') {
        return <BotSignInToast notification={notification} context={props.context}/>;
    }
    else if (id === 'traditionalbotauthentication') {
        return <TraditionalBotAuthenticationToast notification={notification} />;
    }
    return next({ notification, ...otherArgs });
};

In the toast, aadTokenProvider is used to get the required token for exchange. If succeed, send an invoke activity back for authentication:

context.aadTokenProviderFactory.getTokenProvider().then((tokenProvider: AadTokenProvider) => {
    return tokenProvider.getToken('api://123a45b6-789c-01de-f23g-h4ij5k67a8bc/scope', true).then((token: string) => {
        const { connectionName, tokenExchangeResource } = content;
        const { tokenId } = tokenExchangeResource;

        if (token) {
            postActivity({
                channelData: { invokeId },
                type: 'invoke',
                name: 'signin/tokenExchange',
                value: {
                    id: tokenId,
                    connectionName,
                    token,
                },
            });
        }
    });
});

If the SSO approach failed, fallback to traditional sign in link:

const handleClick = useCallback(() => {
    dismissNotification(id);
    performCardAction(signin);
}, [dismissNotification, id, performCardAction, signin]);

Note: The first time users try SSO, users may be presented with an OAuth card to log in. This is because users have not yet given consent to the bot's Azure AD app. To avoid this, users can grant admin consent for any graph permissions requested by the Azure AD app.

Note: due to a SDK bug, the consent card could not be shown properly yet. Granting admin consent may be necessary to workaround this.
