Bot Framework v4 bot using Teams authentication
This bot has been created using Bot Framework, it shows how to get started with authentication in a bot for Microsoft Teams.
The focus of this sample is how to use the Bot Framework support for oauth in your bot. Teams behaves slightly differently than other channels in this regard. Specifically an Invoke Activity is sent to the bot rather than the Event Activity used by other channels. This Invoke Activity must be forwarded to the dialog if the OAuthPrompt is being used. This is done by subclassing the ActivityHandler and this sample includes a reusable TeamsActivityHandler. This class is a candidate for future inclusion in the Bot Framework SDK.
The sample uses the bot authentication capabilities in Azure Bot Service, providing features to make it easier to develop a bot that authenticates users to various identity providers such as Microsoft Entra ID, GitHub, Uber, etc. The OAuth token is then used to make basic Microsoft Graph queries.
IMPORTANT: The manifest file in this app adds "token.botframework.com" to the list of
validDomains
. This must be included in any bot that uses the Bot Framework OAuth flow.
This sample utilizes an app setting UseSingleSignOn
to add TeamsSSOTokenExchangeMiddleware
. Refer to Teams SSO for Microsoft Entra ID and SSO OAuth configuration information.
IMPORTANT: Teams SSO only works in 1-1 chats, and not group contexts.
This bot has been created using Bot Framework, it shows how to use a bot authentication, as well as how to sign in from a bot. In this sample we are assuming the OAuth 2 provider is Azure Active Directory v2 (AADv2) and are utilizing the Microsoft Graph API to retrieve data about the user. Check here for information about getting an AADv2 application setup for use in Azure Bot Service. The scopes used in this sample are the following:
openid
User.Read
- Teams SSO (bots)
- Graph API
Please find below demo manifest which is deployed on Microsoft Azure and you can try it yourself by uploading the app manifest (.zip file link below) to your teams and/or as a personal app. (Sideloading must be enabled for your tenant, see steps here).
Teams Auth Bot: Manifest
-
Microsoft Teams is installed and you have an account (not a guest account)
-
.NET SDK version 6.0
# determine dotnet version dotnet --version
-
dev tunnel or ngrok latest version or equivalent tunnelling solution
Note these instructions are for running the sample on your local machine, the tunnelling solution is required because the Teams service needs to call into the bot.
Refer to Bot SSO Setup document.
-
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples.git
-
If you are using Visual Studio
- Launch Visual Studio
- File -> Open -> Project/Solution
- Navigate to
samples/bot-teams-authentication/csharp
folder - Select
TeamsAuth.csproj
orTeamsAuth.sln
file
-
Run ngrok - point to port 3978 (You can skip this step, if you have already run ngrok while doing SSO setup)
ngrok http 3978 --host-header="localhost:3978"
Alternatively, you can also use the
dev tunnels
. Please follow Create and host a dev tunnel and host the tunnel with anonymous user access command as shown below:devtunnel host -p 3978 --allow-anonymous
-
Update the
appsettings.json
configuration for the bot to use the MicrosoftAppId, MicrosoftAppPassword, MicrosoftAppTenantId generated in Step 1 (App Registration creation). (Note the App Password is referred to as the "client secret" in the azure portal and you can always create a new client secret anytime.)- Set "MicrosoftAppType" in the
appsettings.json
. (Allowed values are: MultiTenant(default), SingleTenant, UserAssignedMSI) - Set "ConnectionName" in the
appsettings.json
. The Microsoft Entra ID ConnectionName from the OAuth Connection Settings on Azure Bot registration
- Set "MicrosoftAppType" in the
-
Run your bot, either from Visual Studio with
F5
or usingdotnet run
in the appropriate folder. -
This step is specific to Teams.
- Edit the
manifest.json
contained in theTeamsAppManifest
folder to replace your Microsoft App Id (that was created when you registered your bot earlier) everywhere you see the place holder string<<YOUR-MICROSOFT-APP-ID>>
(depending on the scenario the MicrosoftAppId may occur multiple times in themanifest.json
) - Edit the
manifest.json
forvalidDomains
with base Url domain. E.g. if you are using ngrok it would behttps://1234.ngrok-free.app
then your domain-name will be1234.ngrok-free.app
and if you are using dev tunnels then your domain will be like:12345.devtunnels.ms
. - Zip up the contents of the
TeamsAppManifest
folder to create amanifest.zip
(Make sure that zip file does not contains any subfolder otherwise you will get error while uploading your .zip package) - Upload the
manifest.zip
to Teams (In Teams Apps/Manage your apps click "Upload an app". Browse to and Open the .zip file. At the next dialog, click the Add button.) - Add the app to personal scope or 1:1 chat (Supported scope)
- Edit the
Note: If you are facing any issue in your app, please uncomment this line and put your debugger for local debug.
Note
manifest.json
contains awebApplicationInfo
template required for Teams Single Sign On.
You can interact with this bot by sending it a message. The bot will respond by requesting you to login to Microsoft Entra ID, then making a call to the Graph API on your behalf and returning the results.
