#Accounts-Azure-Active-Directory Adds single sign-on integration with Azure Active Directory for Meteor.

What will this package allow me to do?

This package was written to allow the development of meteor apps for the (windows) enterprise world. It seems to me that a large barrier to corporate acceptance of meteor having to remember a million different sets of credentials. This package allows users to authenticate using their Active Directory credentials.

What's Azure Active Directory?

Essentially it's Active Directory in the cloud. You can ask your Ops/Systems team to create a mirror image of your enterprise installation or sign up for a free account and add your users manually.

Configuration

Please refer to the wiki documentation for a guide to configuring this package.

Adding email addresses to accounts

When a user authenticates for the first time using the azure-active-directory flow, their email address is captured and passed to the Accounts.onCreateUser(). By adding the following code to your application, you can store the email addresses of each user:

Accounts.onCreateUser(function(options, user) {
  //This is the default implementation of onCreateUser(). Retain this as it is used to copy a user's name, etc.
  if (options.profile)
    user.profile = options.profile;

  //Copy the .emails option as well.
  if (options.emails)
    user.emails = options.emails;

  return user;
});
