Azure sso integration

I can see in the configuration that OIDC with azure is there but no example

# # OIDC Authentication
# # Any OpenID Connect provider can be used here.
# default['firezone']['authentication']['oidc'] = {}
# # Example of a Google setup
# # default['firezone']['authentication']['oidc'] = {
# #   google: {
# #     discovery_document_uri: "https://accounts.google.com/.well-known/openid-configuration",
# #     client_id: "CLIENT_ID",
# #     client_secret: "CLIENT_SECRET",
# #     redirect_uri: "https://firezone.example.com/auth/oidc/google/callback",
# #     response_type: "code",
# #     scope: "openid email profile",
# #     label: "Google"
# #   },
# #   okta: {
# #   ...
# #   },
# #   azure: {
# #   ...
# #   }
# # }

I tried with below as per the document for Google in Step 3 “Google | Docs Firezone”

default['firezone']['authentication']['azure']['enabled'] = true
default['firezone']['authentication']['azure']['client_id'] = 'xxx'
default['firezone']['authentication']['azure']['client_secret'] = 'xxx'
default['firezone']['authentication']['azure']['redirect_uri'] = 'https://firezone.xxxx.xxx/auth/azure/callback'

But not working

Is azure sso integrated?

I believe you will run into this issue once setup, so wait for the next release before attempting this: Custom OIDC (Azure) leads to phoenix crashing ¡ Issue #642 ¡ firezone/firezone ¡ GitHub

Here is the configuration I have:

default['firezone']['authentication']['oidc'] = {
  azure: {
    discovery_document_uri: "https://login.microsoftonline.com/TENANT ID/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configuration",
    client_id: "CLIENT ID",
    client_secret: "CLIENT SECRET",
    redirect_uri: "https://vpn.yourdomain.com/auth/oidc/azure/callback",
    response_type: "code",
    scope: "openid email profile",
    label: "Azure Active Directory"
  }
}

You would replace:

  • TENANT ID: Your tenant ID
  • CLIEND ID: The application ID
  • CLIENT SECRET: Secret created for the client (
  • vpn.yourdomain.com: The hostname of your VPN server

Give it a go. I think there is a small chance that the problem in the linked issue was caused by their cloud provider - alicloud.

If it doesn’t work, then wait for the next release.

2022-05-31_08:34:24.26266 Crash dump is being written to: erl_crash.dump…done

and on the browser I get “Internal Server Error”

For what it’s worth, I get the same crash as noted by @remy when setup to my AAD instance; it doesn’t seem to be related to a specific cloud provider.

@remy Are you on CentOS as well? OpenSSL on CentOS 8 (and derivatives) seems to have an issue with TLS 1.3 and Azure, causing timeouts. We’ve merged a fix to force TLS 1.2 which will be available in the next release.

@jamil if it helps, I am on Ubuntu 20.04; same crash. Happy to test on other OS’s if you want.

Package: OpenSSL 1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.13
openssl version: OpenSSL 1.1.1f 31 Mar 2020

@jamil , its Oracle Linux 8.6
openssl-1.1.1k-6.el8_5.x86_64

FYI Custom OIDC (Azure) leads to phoenix crashing ¡ Issue #642 ¡ firezone/firezone ¡ GitHub

This should be fixed in 0.3.16. Do let us know if you continue to experience issues!

I upgraded and confirmed its working fine for me, thank you!

@jamil , upgraded, no more crash. Thanks.

@gbe0 I get the below error

Here is my configuration.

In Azure AD admin center → App registrations, select the application and go to overview. You need these:

From the authentication area for the registered app, make sure the redirect URI is configured correctly:

From the client certificates and secrets area, create the client secret. You will need to use this in firezone.rb (client_secret):

In firezone.rb config file:

default['firezone']['authentication']['oidc'] = {
  azure: {
    discovery_document_uri: "https://login.microsoftonline.com/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-fabd03afb3cd/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configuration",
    client_id: "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-9325786786e8",
    client_secret: "-Y3xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
    redirect_uri: "https://vpn.example.com/auth/oidc/azure/callback/",
    response_type: "code",
    scope: "openid email profile",
    label: "Azure Active Directory"
  }
}

Replace the relevant ID’s/secrets.

Make sure that the URL’s/URI’s exactly match (eg. with “/”'s).

@gbe0 , thanks for the detail instruction, I do have the same configuration as you instructed but not working for me.

default['firezone']['authentication']['oidc'] = {
  azure: {
    discovery_document_uri: "https://login.microsoftonline.com/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-c250fb8023e3/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configuration",
    client_id: "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-4c93ea61ff1f",
    client_secret: "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-e04bb7c7322a",
    redirect_uri: "https://vpn.example.com/auth/oidc/azure/callback/",
    response_type: "code",
    scope: "openid email profile",
    label: "Azure Active Directory"
  }
}

In case someone else runs into this problem, it seems to be something permission related in AAD. As a test I worked with @remy to add a test application in my tenant and it worked; hopefully we can find the exact cause of the problem.

@gbe0 , may thanks to you as you saved my day.

All - its my bad, I use client_secret as ID instead of value

Thanks for all the support @gbe0 !
