Passing Scope to Azure AD B2C

I have been playing a lot lately with Azure AD B2C, trying to look at replacing Auth0 with Azure AD B2C.

Auth0 is definitely the easier of the two to implement, for now.

Anyway, I have been using Postman to authenticate to Azure AD B2C when I began struggling with how to pass multiple scopes. 

Based on a couple articles I read, I passed the scopes separated by a space. Tried this, then inspected the token in https://jwt.io, and noticed my scopes were missing.

Hmmmm…

I found this article https://saraford.net/2017/11/10/testing-a-secured-web-api-using-postman and took a deeper look at how Azure was creating the endpoint.

I noticed that for each scope the full scope value was passed, e.g. https://<tenant>.onmicrosoft.com/<app>/<scope>. So I made that change to my Postman request and requested a new token.

I then inspected the token in https://jwt.io, and noticed ALL my request scopes were present.

Hopefully this saves someone a face plant or two, or three. 😊

For those working with Azure AD B2C, here are some links to some great articles that have helped, and continue to help me along the way.

  1. How did you select profile and email on AD B2C user flow? I don’t have this option 🙁 on my user flow.
