Functions
| authenticate(Authenticate |
|
| authenticate(Authenticate |
Initiates an authentication flow which requires a new window. There are two primary uses for this function:
For more details, see Enable authentication using third-party OAuth provider This function is not needed for "standard" Microsoft Entra SSO usage. Using getAuthToken is usually sufficient in that case. For more, see Enable SSO for tab apps) |
| get |
|
| get |
Requests an Microsoft Entra token to be issued on behalf of your app in an SSO flow. The token is acquired from the cache if it is not expired. Otherwise a request is sent to Microsoft Entra to obtain a new token. This function is used to enable SSO scenarios. See Enable SSO for tab apps for more details. |
| notify |
When using authentication.authenticate(authenticateParameters: AuthenticatePopUpParameters): Promise<string>, the window that was opened to execute the authentication flow should call this method after authentiction to notify the caller of authentication.authenticate(authenticateParameters: AuthenticatePopUpParameters): Promise<string> that the authentication request failed. |
| notify |
When using authentication.authenticate(authenticateParameters: AuthenticatePopUpParameters): Promise<string>, the window that was opened to execute the authentication flow should call this method after authentiction to notify the caller of authentication.authenticate(authenticateParameters: AuthenticatePopUpParameters): Promise<string> that the authentication request was successful. |

Function Details
authenticate(AuthenticateParameters)
Warning
This API is now deprecated.
As of TeamsJS v2.0.0, please use authentication.authenticate(authenticateParameters: AuthenticatePopUpParameters): Promise<string> instead.
The documentation for authentication.authenticate(authenticateParameters: AuthenticatePopUpParameters): Promise<string> applies
to this function.
The one difference is that instead of the result being returned via the Promise, the result is returned to the callback functions provided in the
authenticateParameters parameter.
function authenticate(authenticateParameters?: AuthenticateParameters)Parameters
- authenticateParameters
- AuthenticateParameters
Parameters describing the authentication window used for executing the authentication flow and callbacks used for indicating the result
authenticate(AuthenticatePopUpParameters)
Initiates an authentication flow which requires a new window. There are two primary uses for this function:
- When your app needs to authenticate using a 3rd-party identity provider (not Microsoft Entra ID)
- When your app needs to show authentication UI that is blocked from being shown in an iframe (e.g., Microsoft Entra consent prompts)
For more details, see Enable authentication using third-party OAuth provider
This function is not needed for "standard" Microsoft Entra SSO usage. Using getAuthToken is usually sufficient in that case. For more, see Enable SSO for tab apps)
function authenticate(authenticateParameters: AuthenticatePopUpParameters): Promise<string>Parameters
- authenticateParameters
- AuthenticatePopUpParameters
Parameters describing the authentication window used for executing the authentication flow
Returns
Promise<string>
Promise that will be fulfilled with the result from the authentication pop-up, if successful. The string in this result is provided in the parameter
passed by your app when it calls authentication.notifySuccess(result?: string): void in the pop-up window after returning from the identity provider redirect.
Remarks
The authentication flow must start and end from the same domain, otherwise success and failure messages won't be returned to the window that initiated the call. The Teams authentication flow starts and ends at an endpoint on your own service (with a redirect round-trip to the 3rd party identity provider in the middle).
getAuthToken(AuthTokenRequest)
Warning
This API is now deprecated.
As of TeamsJS v2.0.0, please use authentication.getAuthToken(authTokenRequest: AuthTokenRequestParameters): Promise<string> instead.
The documentation authentication.getAuthToken(authTokenRequest: AuthTokenRequestParameters): Promise<string> applies to this
function as well. The one difference when using this function is that the result is provided in the callbacks in the authTokenRequest parameter
instead of as a Promise.
function getAuthToken(authTokenRequest?: AuthTokenRequest)Parameters
- authTokenRequest
- AuthTokenRequest
An optional set of values that configure the token request. It contains callbacks to call in case of success/failure
getAuthToken(AuthTokenRequestParameters)
Requests an Microsoft Entra token to be issued on behalf of your app in an SSO flow. The token is acquired from the cache if it is not expired. Otherwise a request is sent to Microsoft Entra to obtain a new token. This function is used to enable SSO scenarios. See Enable SSO for tab apps for more details.
function getAuthToken(authTokenRequest?: AuthTokenRequestParameters): Promise<string>Parameters
- authTokenRequest
- AuthTokenRequestParameters
An optional set of values that configure the token request.
Returns
Promise<string>
Promise that will be resolved with the token, if successful.
notifyFailure(string)
When using authentication.authenticate(authenticateParameters: AuthenticatePopUpParameters): Promise<string>, the window that was opened to execute the authentication flow should call this method after authentiction to notify the caller of authentication.authenticate(authenticateParameters: AuthenticatePopUpParameters): Promise<string> that the authentication request failed.
function notifyFailure(result?: string)Parameters
- result
-
string
Specifies a result for the authentication. If specified, the frame that initiated the authentication pop-up receives
this value in its callback or via the Promise return value
Remarks
This function is usable only on the authentication window. This call causes the authentication window to be closed.
notifySuccess(string)
When using authentication.authenticate(authenticateParameters: AuthenticatePopUpParameters): Promise<string>, the window that was opened to execute the authentication flow should call this method after authentiction to notify the caller of authentication.authenticate(authenticateParameters: AuthenticatePopUpParameters): Promise<string> that the authentication request was successful.
function notifySuccess(result?: string)Parameters
- result
-
string
Specifies a result for the authentication. If specified, the frame that initiated the authentication pop-up receives
this value in its callback or via the Promise return value
Remarks
This function is usable only from the authentication window. This call causes the authentication window to be closed.
registerAuthenticationHandlers(AuthenticateParameters)
Warning
This API is now deprecated.
As of TeamsJS v2.0.0, this function has been deprecated in favor of a Promise-based pattern using authentication.authenticate(authenticateParameters: AuthenticatePopUpParameters): Promise<string>
Registers handlers to be called with the result of an authentication flow triggered using authentication.authenticate(authenticateParameters?: AuthenticateParameters): void
function registerAuthenticationHandlers(authenticateParameters: AuthenticateParameters)Parameters
- authenticateParameters
- AuthenticateParameters
Configuration for authentication flow pop-up result communication
