Add single sign-on to your Teams app
Microsoft Teams provides single sign-on (SSO) function for an app to obtain signed in Teams user token to access Microsoft Graph and other APIs. Teams Toolkit facilitates the interaction by abstracting some of the Microsoft Entra ID flows and integrations behind some simple APIs. This enables you to add SSO features easily to your Teams app.
Enable Single Sign-on in Teams Toolkit for Visual Studio
Teams provides SSO function for an app using the Microsoft Teams Toolkit for Microsoft Visual Studio.
Open Visual Studio.
Select Project > Teams Toolkit > Add Authentication Code.
Teams Toolkit helps you generate the authentication files in TeamsFx-Auth folder, including the app manifest (previously called Teams app manifest) template file for Microsoft Entra application and authentication redirect pages. Link the files to your Teams application by updating authentication configurations to ensure the SSO works for your application.
- In the Microsoft Entra app manifest file, specify the URIs (Uniform Resource Identifier) such as, the URI to identify the Microsoft Entra authentication app and the redirect URI for returning token.
- In the app manifest file, add the SSO application to link it with Teams application.
- Add SSO application information in Teams Toolkit configuration files in order to make sure the authentication app can be registered on backend service and start Teams Toolkit when you're debugging or previewing Teams application.

Update Microsoft Entra app manifest:
TeamsFx-Auth/aad.manifest.template.json
file is a Microsoft Entra app manifest template. You can copy and paste this file to any folder of your project, and rename asaad.manifest.json
and take note of the path to this file. The following updates in the template to create/update a Microsoft Entra app for SSO:identifierUris
: It's used to uniquely identify and access the resource. Set the correct redirect URIs intoidentifierUris
to successfully identify this app. For more information, see identifierUris attribute."identifierUris":[ "api://${{TAB_DOMAIN}}/${{AAD_APP_CLIENT_ID}}" ]
replyUrlsWithType
: It lists registered redirect_uri values that Microsoft Entra ID accepts as destinations when returning tokens. Set necessary redirect URIs intoreplyUrlsWithType
to successfully return token. For more information, see replyUrlsWithType attribute."replyUrlsWithType":[ { "url": "${{TAB_ENDPOINT}}/auth-end.html", "type": "Web" } ]
Note
Use
${{ENV_NAME}}
to reference variables inenv/.env.{TEAMSFX_ENV}
."replyUrlsWithType":[ { "url": "${{TAB_ENDPOINT}}/auth-end.html", "type": "Web" }, { "url": "${{TAB_ENDPOINT}}/auth-end.html?clientId=${{AAD_APP_CLIENT_ID}}", "type": "Spa" }, { "url": "${{TAB_ENDPOINT}}/blank-auth-end.html", "type": "Spa" } ]
"name": It replaces the value with your expected Microsoft Entra app name.
Open your app manifest file, add
WebApplicationInfo
property with the value of your SSO app. For more information, see webApplicationInfo."webApplicationInfo": { "id": "${{AAD_APP_CLIENT_ID}}", "resource": "SAME_AS_YOUR_IDENTIFIERURIS" }
