This sample demonstrates an ASP.NET Core Blazor Server application that authenticates users with the Microsoft Identity Platform.
- The client ASP.NET Core Blazor Server application uses the Microsoft Authentication Library MSAL.NET and Microsoft.Identity.Web libraries to sign-in a user in their tenant and obtain an ID Tokens from Azure AD.
- The ID Token proves that the user has successfully authenticated against Azure AD.
- Either Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code and the .NET Core SDK
- An Azure AD tenant. For more information see: How to get an Azure AD tenant
- A user account in your Azure AD tenant. This sample will not work with a personal Microsoft account. Therefore, if you signed in to the Azure portal with a personal account and have never created a user account in your directory before, you need to do that now.
From your shell or command line:
cd ms-identity-blazor-server\WebApp-OIDC\MyOrg
⚠️ To avoid path length limitations on Windows, we recommend cloning into a directory near the root of your drive.
There is one project in this sample. To register it, you can:
- follow the steps below for manually register your apps
- or use PowerShell scripts that:
- automatically creates the Azure AD applications and related objects (passwords, permissions, dependencies) for you.
- modify the projects' configuration files.
Expand this section if you want to use this automation:
⚠️ If you have never used Azure AD Powershell before, we recommend you go through the App Creation Scripts once to ensure that your environment is prepared correctly for this step.
-
On Windows, run PowerShell as Administrator and navigate to the root of the cloned directory
-
In PowerShell run:
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope Process -Force
-
Run the script to create your Azure AD application and configure the code of the sample application accordingly.
-
In PowerShell run:
cd .\AppCreationScripts\ .\Configure.ps1
Other ways of running the scripts are described in App Creation Scripts The scripts also provide a guide to automated application registration, configuration and removal which can help in your CI/CD scenarios.
As a first step you'll need to:
- Sign in to the Azure portal.
- If your account is present in more than one Azure AD tenant, select your profile at the top right corner in the menu on top of the page, and then switch directory to change your portal session to the desired Azure AD tenant.
- Navigate to the Azure portal and select the Azure AD service.
- Select the App Registrations blade on the left, then select New registration.
- In the Register an application page that appears, enter your application's registration information:
- In the Name section, enter a meaningful application name that will be displayed to users of the app, for example
WebApp-blazor-server
. - Under Supported account types, select Accounts in this organizational directory only.
- In the Redirect URI (optional) section, select Web in the combo-box and enter the following redirect URI:
https://localhost:44318/
.Note that there are more than one redirect URIs used in this sample. You'll need to add them from the Authentication tab later after the app has been created successfully.
- In the Name section, enter a meaningful application name that will be displayed to users of the app, for example
- Select Register to create the application.
- In the app's registration screen, find and note the Application (client) ID. You use this value in your app's configuration file(s) later in your code.
- In the app's registration screen, select Authentication in the menu.
- If you don't have a platform added, select Add a platform and select the Web option.
- In the Redirect URIs section, enter the following redirect URIs.
https://localhost:44318/signin-oidc
- In the Implicit grant section, check the ID tokens option.
- In the Logout URL section, set it to
https://localhost:44318/signout-oidc
.
- Select Save to save your changes.
Open the project in your IDE (like Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code) to configure the code.
In the steps below, "ClientID" is the same as "Application ID" or "AppId".
- Open the
appsettings.json
file. - Find the key
ClientId
and replace the existing value with the application ID (clientId) of theWebApp-blazor-server
application copied from the Azure portal. - Find the key
TenantId
and replace the existing value with your Azure AD tenant ID. - Find the key
Domain
and replace the existing value with your Azure AD tenant name.
You can run the sample by using either Visual Studio or command line interface as shown below:
Clean the solution, rebuild the solution, and run it.
cd blazorserver-singleOrg
dotnet restore
dotnet dev-certs https --clean
dotnet dev-certs https --trust
Learn more about HTTPS in .NET Core.
In the console window execute the below command:
dotnet run
-
Open your browser and navigate to
https://localhost:44318
. -
Select the Sign in button on the top right corner. When the user signs-in for the first time , a consent screen is presented with required permissions, select Accept.
You will see claims from the signed-in user's token.

-
Run the following command to download the templates for Microsoft.Identity.Web
dotnet new -i Microsoft.Identity.Web.ProjectTemplates::1.1.0
-
Create the application by running the following command:
dotnet new blazorserver2 --auth SingleOrg
-
Add
UserClaims.razor
component andUserClaimsBase.cs
class.
-
In
Startup.cs
, add below lines of code in ConfigureServices method:services.AddMicrosoftIdentityWebAppAuthentication(Configuration);
This enables your application to use the Microsoft identity platform endpoint to sign-in users.
-
Index.razor is the landing page when application starts. Index.razor contains child component called
UserClaims
. If user is authenticated successfully,UserClaims
displays a few claims present in the ID Token issued by Azure AD. -
In the
UserClaimsBase.cs
class, GetClaimsPrincipalData method retrieves signed-in user's claims using the GetAuthenticationStateAsync() method of the AuthenticationStateProvider class.public class UserClaimsBase : ComponentBase { [Inject] private AuthenticationStateProvider AuthenticationStateProvider { get; set; } protected string _authMessage; protected IEnumerable<Claim> _claims = Enumerable.Empty<Claim>(); private string[] printClaims = { "name", "preferred_username", "tid", "oid" }; protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync() { await GetClaimsPrincipalData(); } private async Task GetClaimsPrincipalData() { var authState = await AuthenticationStateProvider.GetAuthenticationStateAsync(); var user = authState.User; if (user.Identity.IsAuthenticated) { _authMessage = $"{user.Identity.Name} is authenticated."; _claims = user.Claims.Where(x => printClaims.Contains(x.Type)); } else { _authMessage = "The user is NOT authenticated."; } } }
In the next chapter, we will enhance this Web app to call downstream Web API (Microsoft Graph).
