In this PnP Webcast, we concentrated on how to call Azure AD secured APIs from SharePoint Framework solutions. This capability was released as part of the SharePoint Framework 1.6 and it provides us a secure way to call enterprise APIs hosted in Azure AD. These APIs can be for example Azure Functions or completely custom WebAPIs.
This capability was released to general availability as part of the SharePoint Framework 1.6 release and it is available for worldwide usage from Office 365.
The presentation covers the following discussion points:
- Steps on using AadHttpClient within SharePoint Framework solutions
- Logical architecture on calling Azure AD secured APIs from your solutions
- Considerations on using AadHttpClient
Webcast demo shows the following things:
- Example Azure Function used for the demo which has been secured with the Azure AD
- Azure Function settings on securing function using Azure AD
- Requesting permissions in the package-solution.json file for the SharePoint Framework solution
- Using AadHttpClient class in your code
- Approving and managing approved permissions for the SharePoint Framework solutions in tenant administrative user interface
