AAD Bearer Token Retrieval

Overview

This is a simple tool that allows you to obtain a bearer token for your Workbench instance to be used for development purposes or through Postman.

Note: This token is short lived and should not be hard-coded in source code.

Prerequisite

• NodeJS
• http-server NodeJS package
• Docker (Optional)
• Azure Active Directory App Registration (You will need the App Id)
• Please add http://localhost:3000 to the reply urls of your AAD app

Execution Instructions

You can run the Node application directly on your machine or via Docker.

Option 1 (Local Machine)

If not already installed, install http-server:

npm install http-server

Navigate to this directory and run the following commands:

npm install
npm start

This should open the following browser tab on http://localhost:3000

Option 2 (Docker)

Navigate to this directory and run the following commands:

Build

docker build -t awb-authsample:1.0 .

Run

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 awb-authsample:1.0

Open the browser and navigate to the URL: http://localhost:3000

Type in your AAD AppId and the AAD domain name that you wold like to use. Leave the domain name blank if you want to use your native tenant (common)

Upon logging in you will see the bearer token generated for your AppId (The audience of this token is your appId)

Note: This application will remember the input values in the browsers localStorage for your convenience. You can clear them by pressing the Reset button.
