Azure Active Directory Web App using Django and Python

This sample demonstrates how to authenticate a Django web app using Azure Active Directory Authentication.

Running the App

App registration

  1. Register an Azure AD application with web application authentication and a reply URL of https://127.0.0.1:8000/complete/aad, and generate a client secret.
  2. Rename .env.example to .env and populate it with the AAD_CLIENT_ID, AAD_TENANT_ID, AAD_CLIENT_SECRET

Running the application

  1. Have a Python environment, you can use miniconda, venv, whatever you prefer, as long as you are running Python 3.x
  2. Install the needed dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt
  3. Run python manage.py migrate to migrate the database schema
  4. Run python manage.py runsslserver 8000 to run the server, or open in VSCode and hit F5

Open the browser, and visit https://127.0.0.1 and sign in.

Running the App with Docker

To run the sample with docker:

  1. Rename the .env.example file to .env, change the environment variables, and register the URLs above.
  2. Run sh exec.sh to build and run the docker image in Linux or run .\exec.ps1 to build and run the docker image on Windows.
  3. Use either nginx or ngrok or deploy to Azure App Service to expose the site on https, and modify the app registration reply URL accordingly. Azure AD requires your app to run on https unless it is localhost.
