Integrating Microsoft Entra ID with a Python web application written in Flask

This is a multi-purpose Flask web app sample. Write your app like this once, and the same implementation will support 4x2=8 scenarios.

	Microsoft Entra ID	External ID	External ID with Custom Domain	Azure Active Directory B2C
Web App Sign-In & Sign-Out	✓	✓	✓	✓
Web App Calls a web API	✓	✓	✓	✓

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Have Python 3.8+ installed
Clone from its repo or download its zip package, and then start using it or build on top of it.
cd project_name
Run pip install -r requirements.txt to install dependencies
Run flask run -h localhost and then browse to http://localhost:5000 You may need to change to a different port to match your redirect_uri setup.

How to configure and use this sample

	Microsoft Entra ID	Microsoft Entra External ID	Microsoft Entra External ID with Custom Domain	Azure Active Directory B2C
App Registration	Following only the step 1, 2 and 3 of this Quickstart: Add sign-in with Microsoft to a Python web app	Follow only the page 1 of this Tutorial: Prepare your customer tenant ...	Coming soon.	Following only the step 1 and 2 (including 2.1 and 2.2) of this Configure authentication in a sample Python web app by using Azure Active Directory B2C
Configuration	Copy this Entra ID template as `.env` and then modify `.env` with your app's settings.	Copy this External ID template as `.env` and then modify `.env` with your app's settings.	Copy this External ID with Custom Domain template as `.env` and then modify `.env` with your app's settings.	Copy this Azure Active Directory B2C template as `.env` and then modify `.env` with your app's settings.
Configuration	Do not reverse the order of the configuration steps above. If you put your app credentials into the template and then copy it into `.env`, you risk accidentally committing your templates with credentials into Version Control System.
Web App Sign In & Sign Out	With the basic configuration above, you can now browse to the index page of this sample to try the sign-in/sign-out experience.
Web App Calls a web API	Add the web API's endpoint into your `.env` file. Also add the scopes it needs, separated by space. The following example is the settings needed to call the Microsoft Graph API. You may need to replace the their values with your own API endpoint and its scope.. ENDPOINT=https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me SCOPE=User.Read Now restart this sample and try its "Call API" experience.
Deploy to Azure App Service	Follow the "Quickstart: Deploy a Python (Django or Flask) web app to Azure App Service", but replace its sample app (which does not do user sign-in) with this web app. Configure your app's settings to define environment variables mentioned in the Configuration row of this table. If your `app_config.py` contains `SESSION_TYPE = "filesystem"`, you shall turn on "session affinity" (a.k.a. "ARR affinity") in your App Service Web App's Configuration

How to build this sample (or a new web project) from scratch

You can follow the instructions for Flask, from the underlying library.

You can refer to the source code of this full sample here to pick up other minor details, such as how to modify app.py accordingly, and how to add templates for the new view (and for the existing index() view).
