Integrate Azure with UI Bakery

Step 1: Update environment variables

# Can be found in Overview tab
UI_BAKERY_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=<your-application-id>
# do not mess it up with secret id, it should be secret value
UI_BAKERY_OAUTH_SECRET=<your-secret-value>
UI_BAKERY_OAUTH_SCOPE=User.Read
UI_BAKERY_OAUTH_EMAIL_KEY=upn
UI_BAKERY_OAUTH_GET_CLAIMS_FROM_TOKEN=true
# Replace <your-tenant-id> with Directory (tenant) ID from overview tab
# For multitenant integration use "common" instead of tenant ID
UI_BAKERY_OAUTH_AUTH_URL=https://login.microsoftonline.com/<your-tenant-id>/oauth2/v2.0/authorize
UI_BAKERY_OAUTH_TOKEN_URL=https://login.microsoftonline.com/<your-tenant-id>/oauth2/v2.0/token
UI_BAKERY_BRANDING_AUTH_SSO_BTN_TEXT=Login with Microsoft

Step 2: Restart your UI Bakery instance

Docker compose setup may be restarted with the following command:

docker compose down && docker compose up -d

---

Test the Integration

1. Attempt to log in to your UI Bakery application with `Login with Microsoft` button.

2. You should be redirected to the Azure AD login page.

3. After successful authentication, you should be redirected back to your UI Bakery application.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during the integration, consider checking the following:

1. Make sure the Client ID and Client Secret are correctly configured in UI Bakery.

2. Validate the Redirect URI settings on both Azure and UI Bakery.

3. Check Azure logs for authentication errors.
