I need a response from an observable to set values before the MSAL authenticates.
Is there a way to return value inside the getAuthenticationConfiguration() observable?
How can I return values after the values are received inside the observable.
p.s. It is not possible to return inside the subscribe function.
export function MSALInstanceFactory(service: AzureService): IPublicClientApplication {
service.getIdentityManagerApiRestService().getAuthenticationConfiguration().subscribe(response => {
return new PublicClientApplication({
auth: response.authenticationConfiguration, <-------- I want this
cache: {
cacheLocation: BrowserCacheLocation.LocalStorage,
storeAuthStateInCookie: isIE, // set to true for IE 11. Remove this line to use Angular Universal
}
});
})
}
@NgModule({
declarations: [
AzureComponent
],
exports: [
AzureComponent
],
providers: [
{
provide: MSAL_INSTANCE,
useFactory: MSALInstanceFactory,
deps: [AzureService]
}
]
})
export class AzureModule { }
I would try to pipe the response (untested code):
service
.getIdentityManagerApiRestService()
.getAuthenticationConfiguration()
.pipe(switchMap((res) => res.authenticationConfiguration))
.subscribe((config) => {
return new PublicClientApplication({
auth: config,
cache: {
cacheLocation: BrowserCacheLocation.LocalStorage,
storeAuthStateInCookie: isIE, // set to true for IE 11. Remove this line to use Angular Universal
},
});
});
I believe your getAuthenticationConfiguration() should look like this to return some response from it:
getAuthenticationConfiguration() {
return authenticationConfiguration$.pipe(map(data) => data.authenticationConfiguration))
}and when you subscribe to it, you can do this:
service
.getIdentityManagerApiRestService()
.getAuthenticationConfiguration()
.subscribe(response => {
if(response.authenticationConfiguration) {
return new PublicClientApplication({
auth: response.authenticationConfiguration,
cache: {
cacheLocation: BrowserCacheLocation.LocalStorage,
storeAuthStateInCookie: isIE,
}
});
}
})So basically you can add a check on response for the expected property in the response, once received then only do further code execution.
