azure_silent_auth 2.0.3

A Flutter package for handling silent authentication using azure backend

Azure Silent Login

A Flutter package for seamless integration with Azure authentication and Silent Login.

Features

• Azure Authentication: Integration with Azure authentication including login, logout, and silent login.
• Secure Storage: Securely store and manage tokens and user data.
• Silent Login: Provides silent login functionality which saves developers time.
• Useful for Offline Applications: Silent login functionality is particularly useful for offline applications where continuous user authentication may not be possible.
• Token Management: Automatically manages token expiration and refreshing.

Usage

import 'package:azure_silent_auth/authenticator/default_authenticator.dart';
import 'package:azure_silent_auth/azure_silent_auth.dart';

  AzureAuth _azureAuth = AzureAuth(
    authenticatorProvider: DefaultAuthenticator(
      'https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant-id}/',
      ["openId", "offline_access"],
      '{client-id}',
      '&prompt=select_account',
      {nnnn}, // Redirect URI's port in Azure app registration authentication (http://localhost:nnnn/)
    ),
  );

1. First-Time Login:

   • When the user opens the app for the first time, call await _azureAuth.login(); to open the authentication page.
   • Upon successful login, the token is securely stored.

2. Token Retrieval:

   • When the app needs the token, call await _azureAuth.getAccessToken();.
   • The token's validity is checked; if expired, it is automatically refreshed.

3. User Info Retrieval:

   • When the app needs the loggedin users details, call _azureAuth.getUserInfo();.

4. Silent Login:

   • Use await _azureAuth.silentLogin(); when the app is opened again.
   • The stored token is validated in the background without redirecting the user to the authentication page.
   • If the token is invalid or expired, an error is thrown, allowing developers to redirect the user to the login screen.

5. Logout:

   • Call _azureAuth.logout(); to clear all locally stored token and user data.
   • Sends a request to the OpenID Provider to log out the End-User.

Please refer example app to see how this instance can be used in different scenarios.
