Provides Azure Authentication Middleware for a Laravel App. If you like this, checkout Laravel Saml Middleware

Normal Installation

composer require rootinc/laravel-azure-middleware
run php artisan vendor:publish --provider="RootInc\LaravelAzureMiddleware\AzureServiceProvider" to install config file to config/azure.php
In our routes folder (most likely web.php), add

Route::get('/login/azure', '\RootInc\LaravelAzureMiddleware\Azure@azure')
    ->name('azure.login');
Route::get('/login/azurecallback', '\RootInc\LaravelAzureMiddleware\Azure@azurecallback')
    ->name('azure.callback');

NOTE: Only need the route names if configuring redirect_uri in the portal.

In our App\Http\Kernel.php add 'azure' => \RootInc\LaravelAzureMiddleware\Azure::class, most likely to the $routeMiddleware array.
In our .env add AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET and AZURE_RESOURCE. We can get these values/read more here: https://portal.azure.com/ (Hint: AZURE_RESOURCE should be https://graph.microsoft.com)
As of 0.8.0, we added AZURE_SCOPE, which are permissions to be used for the request. We can read more about these here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/users?view=graph-rest-1.0
We also added an optional AZURE_DOMAIN_HINT that can be used to help users know which email address they should login with. More info here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/app-service-auth-and-azure-ad-domain-hints/
Within our app on https://portal.azure.com/ point reply url to the /login/azurecallback route with the full url (ex: http://thewebsite.com/login/azurecallback).
Add the azure middleware to your route groups on any routes that needs protected by auth and enjoy 🎉
If you need custom callbacks, see Extended Installation.

NOTE: ~~You may need to add premissions for (legacy) Azure Active Directory Graph~~ As of 0.8.0, we are using v2 of Azure's login API, which allows us to pass scopes, or permissions we'd like to use.

Routing

Route::get('/login/azure', '\RootInc\LaravelAzureMiddleware\Azure@azure')->name('azure.login'); First parameter can be wherever you want to route the azure login. Change as you would like.

Route::get('/login/azurecallback', '\RootInc\LaravelAzureMiddleware\Azure@azurecallback')->name('azure.callback'); First parameter can be whatever you want to route after your callback. Change as you would like.

Route::get('/logout/azure', '\RootInc\LaravelAzureMiddleware\Azure@azurelogout')->name('azure.logout); First parameter can be whatever you want to route after your callback. Change as you would like.

NOTE: Only need the route names if configuring redirect_uri in the portal.

Front End

It's best to have an Office 365 button on your login webpage that routes to route('azure.login'). This can be as simple as an anchor tag like this <a href="{{ route('azure.login') }}" class="officeButton"></a>

Extended Installation

The out-of-the-box implementation let's you login users. However, let's say we would like to store this user into a database, as well as login the user in with Laravel Auth. There are two callbacks that are recommended to extend from the Azure class called success and fail. The following provides information on how to extend the Root Laravel Azure Middleware Library:

To get started (assuming we've followed the Normal Installation directions), create a file called AppAzure.php in the App\Http\Middleware folder. You can either do this through artisan or manually.
Add this as a starting point in this file:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use RootInc\LaravelAzureMiddleware\Azure as Azure;
use Microsoft\Graph\Graph;
use Microsoft\Graph\Model;

use Auth;

use App\Models\User;

class AppAzure extends Azure
{
    protected function success(Request $request, $access_token, $refresh_token, $profile)
    {
        $graph = new Graph();
        $graph->setAccessToken($access_token);

        $graph_user = $graph->createRequest("GET", "/me")
                      ->setReturnType(Model\User::class)
                      ->execute();

        $email = strtolower($graph_user->getUserPrincipalName());

        $user = User::updateOrCreate(['email' => $email], [
            'name' => $graph_user->getGivenName() . ' ' . $graph_user->getSurname(),
        ]);

        Auth::login($user, true);

        return parent::success($request, $access_token, $refresh_token, $profile);
    }
}

The above gives us a way to add/update users after a successful handshake. $profile contains all sorts of metadata that we use to create or update our user. More information here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/active-directory-protocols-oauth-code#jwt-token-claims . The default implementation redirects to the intended url, or /, so we call the parent here. Feel free to not extend the default and to redirect elsewhere.

Our routes need to be updated to the following:

Route::get('/login/azure', '\App\Http\Middleware\AppAzure@azure')
    ->name('azure.login');
Route::get('/login/azurecallback', '\App\Http\Middleware\AppAzure@azurecallback')
    ->name('azure.callback');
Route::get('/logout/azure', '\App\Http\Middleware\AppAzure@azurelogout')
    ->name('azure.logout');

Finally, update Kernel.php's azure key to be 'azure' => \App\Http\Middleware\AppAzure::class,

Other Extending Options

Callback on Every Handshake

As of v0.4.0, we added a callback after every successful request (handshake) from Azure. The default is to simply call the $next closure. However, let's say we want to update the user. Here's an example of how to go about that:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use Closure;

use RootInc\LaravelAzureMiddleware\Azure as Azure;

use Auth;
use Carbon\Carbon;

use App\User;

class AppAzure extends Azure
{
    protected function handlecallback(Request $request, Closure $next, $access_token, $refresh_token)
    {
        $user = Auth::user();

        $user->updated_at = Carbon::now();

        $user->save();

        return parent::handlecallback($request, $next, $access_token, $refresh_token);
    }
}

Building off of our previous example from Extended Installation, we have a user in the Auth now (since we did Auth::login in the success callback). With the user model, we can update the user's updated_at field. The callback should call the closure, $next($request); and return it. In our case, the default implementation does this, so we call the parent here.

Custom Redirect

As of v0.6.0, we added the ability to customize the redirect method. For example, if the session token's expire, but the user is still authenticated with Laravel, we can check for that with this example:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use RootInc\LaravelAzureMiddleware\Azure as Azure;

use Auth;

class AppAzure extends Azure
{
    protected function redirect(Request $request)
    {
        if (Auth::user() !== null)
        {
            return $this->azure($request);
        }
        else
        {
            return parent::redirect($request);
        }
    }
}

Different Login Route

As of v0.4.0, we added the ability to change the $login_route in the middleware. Building off Extended Installation, in our AppAzure class, we can simply set $login_route to whatever. For example:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use RootInc\LaravelAzureMiddleware\Azure as Azure;

class AppAzure extends Azure
{
    protected $login_route = "/";
}

The above would now set $login_route to / or root.

Getting / Overriding the Azure Route

As of v0.7.0, we added the ability to get the Azure URL. For example, let's say we wanted to modify the Azure URL so that it also passed the user's email to Azure as a parmater. Building off Extended Installation, in our AppAzure class, we could do something like this:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use RootInc\LaravelAzureMiddleware\Azure as Azure;

use Auth;

class AppAzure extends Azure
{
    //we could overload this if we wanted too.
    public function getAzureUrl()
    {
        $url = $this->baseUrl . config('azure.tenant_id') . $this->route2 . "authorize?response_type=code&client_id=" . config('azure.client.id') . "&domain_hint=" . urlencode(config('azure.domain_hint')) . "&scope=" . urldecode(config('azure.scope'));

        return Route::has('azure.callback') ? $url . '&redirect_uri=' . urlencode(route('azure.callback')) : $url;
    }

    public function azure(Request $request)
    {
        $user = Auth::user();

        $away = $this->getAzureUrl();

        if ($user)
        {
            $away .= "&login_hint=" . $user->email;
        }

        return redirect()->away($away);
    }
}

Using in a Multi-Tenanted Application

If the desired use case requires a multi-tenanted application you can simply provide common in the .env file instead of a Tenant ID. eg. AZURE_TENANT_ID=common.

This works by sending your end users to the generic login routes provided by Microsoft and for all intents and purposes shouldn't appear any different for development either. It should be known that there some inherent drawbacks to this approach as mentioned by in the MS Dev docs here:

When a single tenant application validates a token, it checks the signature of the token against the signing keys from the metadata document. This test allows it to make sure the issuer value in the token matches the one that was found in the metadata document. Because the /common endpoint doesn’t correspond to a tenant and isn’t an issuer, when you examine the issuer value in the metadata for /common it has a templated URL instead of an actual value...

Additional information regarding this can be found here.

Testing with Laravel Azure Middleware

As of v0.7.0, we added integration with Laravel's tests by calling actingAs for HTTP tests or loginAs with Dusk. This assumes that we are using the Auth::login method in the success callback, shown at Extended Installation. There is no need to do anything in our AppAzure class, unless we needed to overwrite the default behavior, which is shown below:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use RootInc\LaravelAzureMiddleware\Azure as Azure;

use Auth;

class AppAzure extends Azure
{
    //this is the default behavior
    //overwrite to meet your needs
    protected function handleTesting(Request $request, Closure $next)
    {
        $user = Auth::user();

        if (!isset($user))
        {
            return $this->redirect($request, $next);
        }

        return $this->handlecallback($request, $next, null, null);
    }
}

The above will call the class's redirect method, if it can't find a user in Laravel's auth. Otherwise, the above will call the class's handlecallback method. Therefore, tests can check if the correct redirection is happening, or that handlecallback is working correctly (which by default calls $next($request);).
