Adding authentication to messaging extension and testing locally.

Copper Contributor

Adding authentication to messaging extension and testing locally. Unable to access openUrl hosted on ngrok

 

Following the steps here to add authentication to a messaging extension:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/messaging-extensions/how-to/add-authenticat...

 

Working with a messaging extension bot running 2 static pages:
https://.ngrok.io/startAuth.html
https://
.ngrok.io/endAuth

 

Returns the following card: (using teams app on mac)

 

 return
     {
       "composeExtension":{
         "type":"auth",
         "suggestedActions":{
           "actions":[
             {
               "type": "openUrl",
               "value": "https://*.ngrok.io/startAuth.html",
               "title": "Sign in to this app"
             }
           ]
         }
       }
     }

 

 

 

 

After clicking the login button on the card it displays the following error: Something went wrong, please try again.

 

The *.ngrok.io domain is already added to the validDomain list

 

Additional Notes:

using nodejs / botbuilder / TeamsActivityHandler

 
Flow: 
- service is running on same ngrok domain
- handleTeamsMessagingExtensionFetchTask captures first event on message action
- checks if users has session
- if no session return login card above
stuck here since it wont open a new window loading the static start auth page
 
works if I point directly to the auth.domain.com/_oauth/authorize?code=
 
I can then redirect back to my close auth page but the notifySuccess doesn't seem to trigger closing the window
- read that this is because I did not initiate the authentication from the same domain

Are you able to access the URL from browser? Could you please check the URL from the browser?
