I couldn’t make the Azure AD plugin configured.

After adding to app.yml, rebuilding doesn’t work.
Is the plugin obsolete?

Why would you leap straight to the plugin being obsolete?

Define “doesn’t work”. The full console output from the rebuild run would be preferred.

As I couldn’t find the plugin in the meta, I assumed it to be obsolete. 🙂
I added the plugin to app.yml like below
```
hooks:
after_code:
- exec:
cd: $home/plugins
cmd:
- git clone https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager.git
- git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-azure-ad.git
```
During the rebuild it fails at the below point.
```
FAILED

Sorry for being late to reply. It’s Yesterday that I was look into the discourse configuration again.
Finally I was able to configure it successfully. Seems like I have done a silly mistake when configuring the plugin. I have not properly added the environment variables to app.yml.
Everything seems to be working smoothly now. 😃
May I know why it’s not published in the meta as a plugin yet?
Cheers

Hi Chanka
Can you please explain a little more what you did to get it to compile? I can’t get Discourse rebuilt with the plugin in my app.yml file.
```
hooks:
after_code:
- exec:
cd: $home/plugins
cmd:
- git clone https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager.git
- git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-azure-ad.git
```
Thanks!
- Ryan

Hi Ryan
Before rebuilding you need to
> If you’re running Discourse from the Docker container, add these environment variables to your container’s yml file:
> DISCOURSE\_AZURE\_CLIENT\_ID
> DISCOURSE\_AZURE\_CLIENT\_SECRET
> (optional) DISCOURSE\_AZURE\_TITLE
Cheers

Thanks, Chanka! Can’t believe it’s that easy. 🙂

Followup question for @Chanka_Dod and @sam: The oAuth plug-in is working great, except one thing: The user’s email address is incorrect. The plug-in is populating the email address as the short name and the Active Directory domain, neither of which are correct. Example my email address is [r-nix@mycollege.edu](mailto:r-nix@mycollege.edu) but the oAuth plugin is making the email address [rtn456@ad.mycollege.edu](mailto:rtn456@ad.mycollege.edu). Is there a way to add something to the code that populates the user account as the ‘mail’ attribute in LDAP or Active Directory.

I am not sure exactly what changes are needed would appreciate some help:
The implementation now is all here:
>
The gem itself that implement the bridge is here:
[https://github.com/KonaTeam/omniauth-azure-oauth2](https://github.com/KonaTeam/omniauth-azure-oauth2)
So you need to figure out first if the change is required in the library we are leaning on vs the library we control.

Crosspoting from gitub. I’m not in a position to test this out at the moment, however it appears that we’re just grabbing the ‘email’ attribute returned from Azure.

Looks like the UPN or UserPrincipalName is the attribute being used as the email address in Discourse. I’ll log a ticket with Azure support to see how this can be fixed. @sam @marknadig
