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.
Please find below demo manifest which is deployed on Microsoft Azure and you can try it yourself by uploading the app package (.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)
- Node.js
# determine node version node --version
- dev tunnel or ngrok latest version or equivalent tunnelling solution
- Teams Toolkit for VS Code or TeamsFx CLI
The simplest way to run this sample in Teams is to use Teams Toolkit for Visual Studio Code.
- Ensure you have downloaded and installed Visual Studio Code
- Install the Teams Toolkit extension
- Select File > Open Folder in VS Code and choose this samples directory from the repo
- Using the extension, sign in with your Microsoft 365 account where you have permissions to upload custom apps
- Select Debug > Start Debugging or F5 to run the app in a Teams web client.
- In the browser that launches, select the Add button to install the app to Teams.
If you do not have permission to upload custom apps (sideloading), Teams Toolkit will recommend creating and using a Microsoft 365 Developer Program account - a free program to get your own dev environment sandbox that includes Teams.
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.
- Setup NGROK
-
Run ngrok - point to port 3978
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
-
Setup for code
- Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples.git
-
In a terminal, navigate to
samples\bot-teams-authentication\nodejs
folder -
Install modules
npm install
-
Modify the
.env
file in your project folder (or in Visual Studio Code) and fill in below details:<<YOUR-MICROSOFT-APP-TYPE>>
(Allowed values are: MultiTenant(default), SingleTenant, UserAssignedMSI)<<YOUR-MICROSOFT-APP-ID>>
- Generated from Step 1 (Application (client) ID)is the application app id<<YOUR-MICROSOFT-APP-PASSWORD>>
- Generated from Step 6, also referred to as Client secret<<YOUR-MICROSOFT-APP-TENANT-ID>>
- Generated from Step 1(Directory (tenant) ID) is the tenant id<<YOUR-CONNECTION-NAME>>
- Generated from step 7.
-
Run your app
npm start
- This step is specific to Teams.
- Edit the
manifest.json
contained in theappManifest
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
for{{domain-name}}
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
appManifest
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
