Official support for Microsoft Azure AD?

Installation
1

Hi everyone,

I am looking for information on if Azure AD is supported through an Official plugin. We have been attempting to use the OAuth2_Basic plugin, and it’s connecting and coming back, but we get an “unauthorized” user.

I’m wondering if anyone has sample settings for the OAuth2_Basic plugin to work with Azure AD, or if there is another official plugin and the settings for that as well.

Thanks for the help!

We do have https://github.com/discourse/discourse-azure-ad

Did you follow the README instructions? Adding the ENV variables, etc ?

Yeah you are missing an env var for DISCOURSE_AZURE_CLIENT_ID we should clean the failure mode up here.

Thanks to you both, completely missed that and misunderstood the instructions. Made these changes and it worked.

As part of official support for Microsoft Azure AD I think it would be a good idea to request a “Gallery App” in Azure:

Is this plugin still useful or is it sufficient to use OpenID Connect Authentication Plugin to allow logging into Discourse using Azure Active Directory?
