Description

I would like to use WebAuthenticator when also using Azure App Service Authentication. Unfortunately, EasyAuth does not return the token and expiry in a format that WebAuthenticator understands. To fix this, I propose that we add a "ResponseDecoder" option to WebAuthenticator.

Public API Changes

I'd suggest having a new interface IWebAuthenticatorResponseDecoder:

public interface IWebAuthenticatorResponseDecoder
{
  IDictionary<string, string> DecodeResponseUri(Uri uri);
}

Then, in WebAuthenticator, have a new public property:

public IWebAuthenticatorResponseDecoder? ResponseDecoder { get; set; }

This gets passed as an optional parameter to the constructor of WebAuthenticatorResult (the one that gets passed the Uri). When the response decoder is not null, it is called to convert the Uri into a dictionary (and then everything progresses as normal). When the response decoder is null, the current method (WebUtils.ParseQueryString()) is used to decode the response.

Intended Use-Case

Authenticating to Azure App Service when using Azure App Service Authentication & Authorization.

The generalized method proposed allows customers to parse the callback URL for any platform, and allows App Service to release their own package that has the decoder in it if they desire.
