ms-rest-nodeauth

This library provides different node.js based authentication mechanisms for services in Azure. It also contains rich type definitions thereby providing a good TypeScript experience. All the authentication methods support callbacks as well as promises. If they are called within an async method in your application then you can use the async/await pattern as well.

Example

username/password based login

import * as msRestNodeAuth from "@azure/ms-rest-nodeauth";

const username = process.env["AZURE_USERNAME"];
const password = process.env["AZURE_PASSWORD"];

msRestNodeAuth.loginWithUsernamePasswordWithAuthResponse(username, password).then((authres) => {
  console.dir(authres, { depth: null })
}).catch((err) => {
  console.log(err);
});

service-principal and secret based login

import * as msRestNodeAuth from "@azure/ms-rest-nodeauth";

const clientId = process.env["CLIENT_ID"];
const secret = process.env["APPLICATION_SECRET"];
const tenantId = process.env["DOMAIN"];

msRestNodeAuth.loginWithServicePrincipalSecretWithAuthResponse(clientId, secret, tenantId).then((authres) => {
  console.dir(authres, { depth: null })
}).catch((err) => {
  console.log(err);
});

service-principal and certificate based login by providing an ABSOLUTE file path to the .pem file

import * as msRestNodeAuth from "@azure/ms-rest-nodeauth";

const clientId = process.env["CLIENT_ID"];
const tenantId = process.env["DOMAIN"];

msRestNodeAuth.loginWithServicePrincipalCertificateWithAuthResponse(clientId, "/Users/user1/foo.pem", tenantId).then((authres) => {
  console.dir(authres, { depth: null })
}).catch((err) => {
  console.log(err);
});

service-principal and certificate based login by providing the certificate and private key (contents of the .pem file)

import * as msRestNodeAuth from "@azure/ms-rest-nodeauth";

const clientId = process.env["CLIENT_ID"];
const tenantId = process.env["DOMAIN"];
const certificate = 
`
-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
`;

msRestNodeAuth.loginWithServicePrincipalCertificateWithAuthResponse(clientId, certificate, tenantId).then((authres) => {
  console.dir(authres, { depth: null })
}).catch((err) => {
  console.log(err);
});

interactive/device-code flow login

import * as msRestNodeAuth from "@azure/ms-rest-nodeauth";

msRestNodeAuth.interactiveLoginWithAuthResponse().then((authres) => {
  console.dir(authres, { depth: null })
}).catch((err) => {
  console.log(err);
});

service-principal authentication from auth file on disk

Before using this method please install az cli from https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli/releases. Then execute az ad sp create-for-rbac --sdk-auth > ${yourFilename.json}.

If you want to create the sp for a different cloud/environment then please execute:

1. az cloud list

2. az cloud set –n

3. az ad sp create-for-rbac --sdk-auth > auth.json // create sp with secret.

      OR
   

   az ad sp create-for-rbac --create-cert --sdk-auth > auth.json // create sp with certificate. If the service principal is already created then login with service principal info:

4. az login --service-principal -u <clientId> -p <clientSecret> -t <tenantId>

5. az account show --sdk-auth > auth.json

import * as msRestNodeAuth from "@azure/ms-rest-nodeauth";

const options: msRestNodeAuth.LoginWithAuthFileOptions = {
  filePath: "<file path to auth file>",
}
msRestNodeAuth.loginWithAuthFileWithAuthResponse(options).then((authRes) => {
  console.log(authRes);
  console.log(process.env["AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID"]);
}).catch((err) => {
  console.log(err);
});

MSI (Managed Service Identity) based login from a virtual machine created in Azure.

import * as msRestNodeAuth from "@azure/ms-rest-nodeauth";

const options: msRestNodeAuth.MSIVmOptions = {
  port: 50342;
}

msRestNodeAuth.loginWithVmMSI(options).then((msiTokenRes) => {
  console.log(msiTokenRes);
}).catch((err) => {
  console.log(err);
});

MSI (Managed Service Identity) based login from an AppService or Azure Function created in Azure.

import * as msRestNodeAuth from "@azure/ms-rest-nodeauth";

const options: msRestNodeAuth.MSIAppServiceOptions = {
  msiEndpoint: "http://127.0.0.1:41741/MSI/token/";
}

msRestNodeAuth.loginWithAppServiceMSI(options).then((msiTokenRes) => {
  console.log(msiTokenRes);
}).catch((err) => {
  console.log(err);
});

Getting credentials via Azure CLI.

Pre-requisite

• Install azure-cli. For more information see here.
• Login via az login
• Detailed sample over here.

import { AzureCliCredentials } from "@azure/ms-rest-nodeauth";
import { ServiceClient, RequestPrepareOptions } from "@azure/ms-rest-js";

async function main(): Promise<void> {
  try {
    // Please make sure you have logged in via Azure CLI `az login` before executing this script.
    const creds = await AzureCliCredentials.create();
    const client = new ServiceClient(creds);
    console.log(">>> Subscription associated with the access token: '%s'.",
      creds.tokenInfo.subscription);

    const request: RequestPrepareOptions = {
      url: getUrl(creds.subscriptionInfo.id),
      method: "GET"
    };
    console.log(">>> Request url: '%s'.", request.url);

    const res = await client.sendRequest(request);
    console.log("List of resource groups from subscriptionId '%s': \n%O",
      creds.subscriptionInfo.id, res.parsedBody);

    // Let us change the subscriptionId, which should trigger refreshing the access token.
    const subscriptions = await AzureCliCredentials.listAllSubscriptions();
    creds.subscriptionInfo = subscriptions[1];

    console.log(">>> The new subscription id associated with the credential object is: '%s'.",
      creds.subscriptionInfo.id);
    request.url = getUrl(creds.subscriptionInfo.id);
    console.log(">>> Request url: '%s'.", request.url);

    const res2 = await client.sendRequest(request);
    console.log("List of resource groups from subscriptionId '%s': \n%O",
      creds.subscriptionInfo.id, res2.parsedBody);

    console.log(">>> Subscription associated with the access token: '%s'.",
      creds.tokenInfo.subscription);
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
  }
}

function getUrl(subscriptionId: string): string {
  return `https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/${subscriptionId}/resourcegroups?api-version=2018-05-01`;
}

main();
