How to configure SSO in PVA?

Hi,

 

I am trying to connect SSO in PVA on the Sharepoint website. I see the below error on the chrome console.

p1.png

I see a syntax error from the below line of code. I am following the SSO configuration by the doc provided below: "https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-virtual-agents/configure-sso"

 

The below code is from the doc.

 

 var userID = clientApplication.account?.accountIdentifier != null ? ("Your-customized-prefix-max-20-characters" + clientApplication.account.accountIdentifier).substr(0,64) : (Math.random().toString() + Date.now().toString().substr(0,64)

 

I had posted by query before as well but no luck.. https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General/How-to-configure-Single-Sign-On-in-PVA-with-Sharepoint-a...

 

Can anyone please help me out here?

 

Regards,

Hemanth

I was trying out the SSO samples shared in docs
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-virtual-agents/configure-sso

and

https://github.com/microsoft/PowerVirtualAgentsSamples/blob/master/BuildYourOwnCanvasSamples/3.singl...

with no success. I got the same issue (errorcode 502) from both samples during runtime. Seems like the code could not intercept with the OBO token as soon as the Login button got prompted?

My configuration of app registrations for authentication and canvas app are as per the docs.  Any help is appreciated

 

 Can you debug the code and check which step in the sample html code failed? besides, if you can successfully send the invoke activity and it still does not work. then paste the conversation id (using /debug conversationid) here and i can take a look.

Hi @BoLi,

We just have the link "https://<Name of the org>.sharepoint.com/" to access our SharePoint website.

 

Once I access the link I get the below.

Once I select the account I enter the password.

Then I am logged in.

 

How to get the login token return from AAD back to your home page and use the token and then call AAD again to exchange this for a OBO token and then put OBO token as part of invoke activity and send it to PVA.

 

Can you please explain this as per the above scenario as we do not have a login button here? It would really be a great help for us!

As a follow up to this we did get this working by using HttpContextAccessor to get the logged in user name and passing this through under exchangeTokenAsync as loginHint; doing this worked.  @BoLi - thanks again for your assistance.

Hi @PaulCullivan / @BoLi / @CleberM ,

 

Please look into the below code. Even after passing the loginHint with the login User Name I am not able to login directly it still prompt the login card.

 

function exchangeTokenAsync(resourceUri) {
  
        let user = clientApplication.getAccount();
        if (user) {
          console.log("KMT - user exist " + JSON.stringify(user));
          //KMT - user exist {"accountIdentifier":"8ad1e23f-1777-4150-86cd-abcdefghi","homeAccountIdentifier":"OGFkMWUyMZj.ZTdlZ.....","userName":"abc@xyz.com","name":"<My-Name>","idToken":{"aud":"7dd5c894-17f5-4fd1-be79-caaaaaacc"

          console.log("KMT - user exist UserName " + JSON.stringify(user.userName));
          //KMT - user exist UserName "abc@xyz.com"

          let requestObj = {
            scopes: [resourceUri],
            loginHint: user.userName, //Here I am passing abc@xyz.com
          };

          console.log("KMT - requestObj: " + JSON.stringify(requestObj)); 
          //KMT - requestObj: {"scopes":["api://fed35d0e-aaaa-bbbb-aae0-54a25735xyze/Canvas.PVA.SSO"],"login_hint":"abc@xyz.com"}

          return clientApplication.acquireTokenSilent(requestObj).then(function (tokenResponse) {

          console.log("KMT - exchangeTokenAsync requestObj: " + tokenResponse.accessToken); 
          //KMT - exchangeTokenAsync requestObj: eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1.............
          
          return tokenResponse.accessToken;

          })

          .catch(function (error) {
              console.log("KMT - exchangeTokenAsync error: " + error);
            });
          }else{
          return Promise.resolve(null);
        }
      }

 

 

I see the below error in the logs:

I also see that it enters the if blog "bot was not able to handle the invoke, so display the oauthCard" from the below code.

              const activity = action.payload.activity;

                activity.from &&
                activity.from.role === "bot" &&
                (resourceUri = getOAuthCardResourceUri(activity))
              ) {
                exchangeTokenAsync(resourceUri).then(function (token) {
                  if (token) {
                    directLine

            } else return next(action);

And I also see the below error in the log

@Anonymous , you will still have to pass the login token to PVA in order for SSO to work. that is a must.  For the error you attached, it says the user has not consent to use the application which means you don't grant tenant level consent for your app(Canvas PVA bot SSO). if the app is for PVA bot, then you must grant tenant level consent first(this is already mentioned in .  Besides, the application id looks weird to me, I expect it to be a AAD application id which is a GUID but this is different. Make sure that you are using AAD V2 application.

Hi @BoLi 

 

Thank you for your response. Can you please explain me how to pass the login token to PVA in order for SSO to work by providing code samples? I really am not able to figure this out.

 

I have followed the doc to provide the API Permissions for both of the canvas and authentication app.

 

Below is the snapshot of the App registration for the Canvas App: I have added 2 extra roles here.

Below is the snapshot of the App registration for the Authentication App:

azure2.png

The Application id looks weird because I have edited it due to security reasons. 

Below is the current code that I am using.

PVA Conversation Boosters Release

Today, we are excited to unveil new features within Power Platform that incorporate next-generation AI, in including conversation boosters with Power Virtual Agents and AI Builder introducing a create text with GPT model. These features bring both a new way for developers to solve business problems and a new way for end-users to leverage AI in the flow of their work to be more productive. This is a glimpse of what’s to come as we continue to ramp up our investment in AI across Power Platform.   We recognize the significance of both AI and low code for organizations and the benefits these technologies in union can have for all developers: a more intuitive, iterative experience for citizen developers and accelerated development for professional developers.      We announced AI Builder 4 years ago as the first AI capability in Power Platform, followed by Power Apps Ideas 18 months ago, which was the first infusion of generative AI in a commercially- available product.  And we have continued to invest, with the addition of express design in Power Apps, and description to flow in Power Automate late last year.      Today, we’re taking another big step forward in this journey with the launch of next-generation AI features for Power Virtual Agents and AI Builder, enabled by Azure Open AI service.     New! – Conversation booster in Microsoft Power Virtual Agents New! – Create text with GPT model in AI Builder AI Builder create text with GPT model  Read the full Product blog here: https://aka.ms/PP-GPT     **Tips & tricks for using the Power Virtual Agents Boost Conversational Coverage Preview:  Solved: Tips & tricks for using the Power Virtual Agents B... - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)
