The ADAL for node.js library makes it easy for node.js applications to authenticate to AAD in order to access AAD protected web resources. It supports 3 authentication modes shown in the quickstart code below.
Current version - 0.1.28
Minimum recommended version - 0.1.22
You can find the changes for each version in the change log.
We provide a full suite of sample applications and documentation on GitHub to help you get started with learning the Azure Identity system. This includes tutorials for native clients such as Windows, Windows Phone, iOS, OSX, Android, and Linux. We also provide full walkthroughs for authentication flows such as OAuth2, OpenID Connect, Graph API, and other awesome features.
We leverage Stack Overflow to work with the community on supporting Azure Active Directory and its SDKs, including this one! We highly recommend you ask your questions on Stack Overflow (we're all on there!) Also browse existing issues to see if someone has had your question before.
We recommend you use the "adal" tag so we can see it! Here is the latest Q&A on Stack Overflow for ADAL: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/adal

$ npm install adal-node
By default, ADAL logging does not capture or log any PII or OII. The library allows app developers to turn this on by configuring the loggingWithPII flag in the logging options. By turning on PII or OII, the app takes responsibility for safely handling highly-sensitive data and complying with any regulatory requirements.
var logging = require('adal-node').Logging;
//PII or OII logging disabled. Default Logger does not capture any PII or OII.
logging.setLoggingOptions({
log: function(level, message, error) {
// provide your own implementation of the log function
},
level: logging.LOGGING_LEVEL.VERBOSE, // provide the logging level
loggingWithPII: false // Determine if you want to log personal identification information. The default value is false.
});
//PII or OII logging enabled.
logging.setLoggingOptions({
log: function(level, message, error) {
// provide your own implementation of the log function
},
level: logging.LOGGING_LEVEL.VERBOSE,
loggingWithPII: true
});See the website sample for a complete bare bones express based web site that makes use of the code below.
var AuthenticationContext = require('adal-node').AuthenticationContext;

});
// After consent is granted AAD redirects here. The ADAL library is invoked via the
// AuthenticationContext and retrieves an access token that can be used to access the
// user owned resource.
app.get('/getAToken', function(req, res) {
