Define a CAPTCHA technical profile in an Azure Active Directory B2C custom policy

Note

In Azure Active Directory B2C, custom policies are designed primarily to address complex scenarios. For most scenarios, we recommend that you use built-in user flows. If you've not done so, learn about custom policy starter pack in Get started with custom policies in Active Directory B2C.

A Completely Automated Public Turing Tests to Tell Computer and Human Apart (CAPTCHA) technical profiles enables Azure Active Directory B2C (Azure AD B2C) to prevent automated attacks. Azure AD B2C's CAPTCHA technical profile supports both audio and visual CAPTCHA challenges types.

Protocol

The Name attribute of the Protocol element needs to be set to Proprietary. The handler attribute must contain the fully qualified name of the protocol handler assembly that is used by Azure AD B2C, for CAPTCHA: Web.TPEngine.Providers.CaptchaProvider, Web.TPEngine, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null

Note

This feature is in public preview

The following example shows a self-asserted technical profile for email sign-up:

<TechnicalProfile Id="HIP-GetChallenge">
  <DisplayName>Email signup</DisplayName>
  <Protocol Name="Proprietary" Handler="Web.TPEngine.Providers.CaptchaProvider, Web.TPEngine, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" />

CAPTCHA technical profile operations

CAPTCHA technical profile operations have two operations:

  • Get challenge operation generates the CAPTCHA code string, then displays it on the user interface by using a CAPTCHA display control. The display includes an input textbox. This operation directs the user to input the characters they see or hear into the input textbox. The user can switch between visual and audio challenge types as needed.

  • Verify code operation verifies the characters input by the user.

Get challenge

The first operation generates the CAPTCHA code string, then displays it on the user interface.
