ms-identity-dotnetcore-maui

A MAUI mobile or desktop application using Microsoft Entra ID for authentication

About this sample

Scenario

You have a mobile or Windows desktop application and you want it to consume either Microsoft Graph or your own Web API using the Microsoft Identity Platform to acquire tokens.

Structure of the repository

This repository contains a three-part tutorial - a basic scenario, a more advanced with broker scenario and a scenario using Azure Active Directory B2C. Choose the one that best suits your scenario, or go through both to understand the differences between the implementations.

Sub folder Description
MauiAppBasic This sample app shows how to use the Microsoft identity platform endpoint to sign-in a user interactively and display their profile

Topology
MauiAppWithBroker This chapter adds additional support for the broker (Microsoft Authenticator), which enables more complex scenarios, like device related conditional access and SSO.

Topology
MauiAppB2C This sample app shows how to use the Microsoft identity platform endpoint to sign-in a user interactively with Azure Active Directory B2C and display their access permissions

How to run this sample for MAUI

To run this sample, you'll need:

  • Visual Studio. Install or update Visual Studio with the following workloads:

    • Universal Windows Platform Development
    • Mobile Development with .Net

    Then from the "Individual Components" tab, make sure these additional items are selected:

    • Android SDK setup (API level 27)
    • Windows 10 SDK (10.0.17134.0)
    • Android SDK level 27 (oreo) and 28 (pie), and Android SDK build tools 27.0.3 are also required. These are not installed through the VS Installer, so instead use the Android SDK Manager (Visual Studio > Tools > Android > Android SDK Manager…)
  • An Internet connection

  • A Windows or OS X machine (necessary if you want to run the app on their respective platforms)

  • a Microsoft Entra tenant. For more information on how to get a Microsoft Entra tenant, see How to get a Microsoft Entra tenant

  • A user account in your Microsoft Entra tenant. This sample will not work with a Microsoft account (formerly Windows Live account). Therefore, if you signed in to the Microsoft Entra admin center with a Microsoft account and have never created a user account in your directory before, you need to do that now.

  • Setup MAUI. This will require Visual Studio on PC, and on a Mac Machine.

Step 1: Clone or download this repository

From your shell or command line:

git clone https://github.com/Azure-Samples/ms-identity-dotnetcore-maui.git

or download and exact the repository .zip file.

Given that the name of the sample is pretty long, and so are the name of the referenced NuGet packages, you might want to clone it in a folder close to the root of your hard drive, to avoid file size limitations on Windows.

Then navigate to the sub-folder of your choice, MauiAppBasic, MauiAppWithBroker or MauiAppB2C
