I had the opportunity to speak at the BUILD 2015 conference in San Francisco with my friend Andrew Connell and had a great time! We gave a talk on Angular, TypeScript, Azure AD and Office 365 APIs and I also gave two “Express” talks on TypeScript. It was super fun to meet new people and hang out with everyone at the conference. I even had the opportunity to check out the upcoming HoloLens device which was super cool! I was heading up an elevator to a meeting and a member of the HoloLens team approached me and asked if I […]

Adding Azure Active Directory and OWIN Code into an AngularJS/ASP.NET MVC Application to Handle User Authentication

In a previous post I discussed how to setup the necessary configuration code and assemblies in an AngularJS/ASP.NET MVC application in order to authenticate users against Azure Active Directory (AAD). Once the initial configuration is complete you can write code to redirect users to the AAD login screen to retrieve an ID token. In Part 4 of an article series I’m writing for http://itunity.com I discuss the necessary code that’s required to authenticate a user and retrieve the ID token. Additional topics covered include hooking AAD into the ASP.NET MVC pipeline, creating an Entity Framework token cache, triggering authentication against […]

Adding Azure Active Directory Configuration Code and Assemblies into an AngularJS/ASP.NET MVC Application

In a previous post I discussed the process for registering an application with Azure Active Directory (AAD) so that users can be authenticated. AAD supports a wide range of features that can be used to perform authentication, authorization, and claims-based security tasks. Once an application has been registered with AAD you’ll need to add configuration code into the application’s web.config file, add related NuGet packages, and add custom C# code into the application in order to take advantage of AAD authentication functionality. In Part 3 of an article series I’m writing for http://itunity.com I discuss these tasks and walk-through the […]

Registering a Custom AngularJS Application with Azure Active Directory

If you’re working with Azure and need to add authentication and identity management into an application look no further than Azure Active Directory (AAD). AAD provides a robust set of services for single sign-on, authentication, multi-factor authentication, and more. Rather than setting up a custom authentication provider for an app, you can leverage existing functionality provided by AAD. To associate a custom application with AAD you first need to register it. If you’ve ever registered a custom app with Facebook, Twitter, or another service you’ll find the AAD app registration process to be quite similar. When you register your application, […]

Building Applications with AngularJS, Azure Active Directory, and Office 365/SharePoint

This entry was posted in .NET ActiveDirectory angularjs Azure Cloud javascript Office365 SharePoint SPA on by

One of my favorite features of Single Page Applications (SPAs) is the ability to integrate data from nearly any backend technology and have it display on a variety devices (desktop browser, mobile, tablet, and more). Whether you’re calling a service like Firebase or Azure Mobile Services or hitting a custom REST API, the data that’s returned can be integrated into your SPA regardless of the language, technology, or operating system being used on the server. Some of the backend technologies I’ve been spending a lot of time with from a business perspective lately include Azure and the the Office 365/SharePoint […]
