Windows Azure Active Directory Authentication Library (ADAL) for Ruby

The ADAL for Ruby library makes it easy for Ruby applications to authenticate to AAD in order to access AAD protected web resources.

Installation

You can install the ADAL gem with Rubygems.

gem install adal

Alternatively, you can build the gem from scratch.

git clone [email protected]:AzureAD/azure-activedirectory-for-ruby.git
cd azure-activedirectory-for-ruby
gem build adal.gemspec
gem install adal

Samples

The samples folder contains several applications demonstrating different ways to authenticate. None of the samples will work out of the box, they require set-up and configuration through the Azure portal. Make sure to check out the README for each sample to get them running.

How to run tests

The tests in this repo use the RSpec framework for behavior-driven testing. RSpec can be invoked directly or as a Rake task. The preferred way to execute the test suite is

Checkout the repo

git clone [email protected]:AzureAD/azure-activedirectory-library-for-ruby

Install the dependencies

bundle install

Run the tests

bundle exec rake spec

How to run Rubocop

This gem abides by the Rubocop defaults. Rubocop is set up as a Rake task. The preferred way to execute Rubocop for this repo is

Checkout the repo

git clone [email protected]:AzureAD/azure-activedirectory-library-for-ruby

Install the dependencies

bundle install

Run Rubocop

bundle exec rake rubocop

Diagnostics

Logs, correlation ids and timestamps are required with all requests for help in debugging.

You can configure ADAL to generate log messages that you can use to help diagnose issues. The log outputs are standard to Ruby's built-in logger. An example ADAL log message looks like this:

I, [2015-08-18T06:58:12.767490 #9231]  INFO -- 969f3e30-8f42-4342-b135-f5c754a6b4a8: Multiple WS-Trust endpoints were found in the mex response. Only one was used.

The I is a shorthand for INFO that makes parsing logs easier. ADAL supports five different logging levels, VERBOSE, INFO, WARN, ERROR and FATAL. The timestamp is taken from the client machine. The GUID before the message is a correlation id that is used to track logs from the client to the server.

To set the lowest log level to output, include something like this in your configuration:

ADAL::Logging.log_level = ADAL::Logger::VERBOSE

By default, ADAL logs are printed to STDOUT. To change the log output, pass a Ruby IO object to ADAL like this in your configuration:

ADAL::Logging.log_output = File.open('/path/to/adal.logs', 'w')
