Not able to change the authorityUrl/issuer using the authorize method

[Monisankarnath]

@vmurin I am tring to use a different authorityUrl or tenant in one case for which I thought I cloud just call the authorize method with the authorityUrl/issuer but that is not working. Can we achieve it in any way?

[vmurin]

Please describe current behavior detailed and add a code snippet. With just "not working" is hard to say anything ;)

[Monisankarnath]

Ok @vmurin.
So the current behaviour in my app is -

• we create the instanceon app init with

new AzureAuth({ 
    clientId: AZURE_AUTH_CLIENT_ID,
  authorityUrl: AZURE_AUTH_AUTHORITY_URL,
  tenant: AZURE_AUTH_TENANT_ID,
    redirectUri: Platform.select(azureAuthConfig.redirectUri),
  })

• Next on Login we call the method

 authorize(scope: azureAuthConfig.scope,
        prompt: "login",)

the AZURE_AUTH_AUTHORITY_URL in the above code contains the signin policy tenant.

Now I want to go to create account directly for which I have a separate policy so the authorityUrl will change.
Is there any way to call the authorize method so as to go to the new url?
like -

authorize(
        domain: signupUrl, // does RNAA support this? Or can we acheive it in some other way?
        scope: azureAuthConfig.scope,
        prompt: "login",
)

The library does not support SignUp process. You can only login (sign in) with it. User have to have an account already.
At the end it's the MS account, not an account of your App.

[Monisankarnath]

@vmurin I understand it's the MS account. I just want to change the authorityUrl somehow without creating a new instance. Can we achieve it somehow?

[Monisankarnath]

@vmurin I wanted this - react-native-azure-auth/src/networking/index.js

url(path, query, authorityUrl) {
        const baseAuthorityUrl = authorityUrl ? `https://${authorityUrl}`: this.baseUrl;
        let endpoint = url.resolve(baseAuthorityUrl, path)
        if (query && query.length !== 0) {
            const parsed = url.parse(endpoint)
            parsed.query = query || {}
            endpoint = url.format(parsed)
        }
        return endpoint
    }

[vmurin]

I see, but as said - IMHO it's not the use case for the lib

[Monisankarnath]

@vmurin Can we add this feature. react-native-app-auth has it ig

[vmurin]

Feel free to create a PR. I will review and merge it.
Don't forget according tests.

[Monisankarnath]

@vmurin I am getting this error - invalid_grant: AADB2C90088: The provided grant has not been issued for this endpoint. Actual Value : ________ and Expected Value : ________.

Actual value = the policy in the authorityUrl that I am using while instance creation,
Expected value = the new policy in the authorityUrl sent in the authorize method

Please help trying to find the solution.
