AutoGineer summary
Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author
The Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.AuthenticationEvents SDK enables developers to integrate custom logic into Microsoft Entra ID authentication flows. By using Azure Functions, developers can intercept and respond to specific authentication events, allowing for token enrichment, custom attribute collection, and personalized OTP delivery.
What it does
- Provides Azure Functions triggers for Entra ID authentication events.
- Supports token enrichment by adding custom claims during issuance.
- Allows customization of the attribute collection UI and validation of user submissions.
- Enables custom OTP delivery channels for authentication.
- Provides a structured framework for handling request and response payloads in C#.
- Facilitates integration with external data sources for dynamic authentication decisions.
When to use it
- When you need to inject custom claims into ID or access tokens.
- When you need to customize the user experience during attribute collection.
- When you need to validate user-submitted attributes against external business logic.
- When you need to implement custom delivery mechanisms for one-time passwords.
Advantages
- Native integration with Azure Functions and the .NET ecosystem.
- Provides strongly-typed request and response models for authentication events.
- Supports complex workflows like external API lookups during authentication.
- Allows for granular control over the authentication lifecycle.
Usage examples
- “How do I add a custom claim to a token using this SDK?”
- You implement a function with the WebJobsAuthenticationEventsTrigger attribute, create a WebJobsTokenIssuanceStartResponse, and add a WebJobsProvideClaimsForToken action containing your claims.
- “Can I validate user input during sign-up with this extension?”
- Yes, you can use the OnAttributeCollectionSubmit event to inspect submitted attributes and return a WebJobsShowValidationError or WebJobsShowBlockPage action if the data is invalid.
- “How do I send an OTP via a custom SMS provider?”
- You handle the OnOtpSend event, extract the identifier and code from the request, and use your preferred SMS service client to send the message before returning a success or failure action.

Core Workflows
1. Token Enrichment (Add Custom Claims)
Add custom claims to access or ID tokens during sign-in.
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.AuthenticationEvents;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.AuthenticationEvents.TokenIssuanceStart;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
public static class TokenEnrichmentFunction
{

public static WebJobsAuthenticationEventResponse Run(
[WebJobsAuthenticationEventsTrigger] WebJobsTokenIssuanceStartRequest request,
ILogger log)
{
log.LogInformation("Token issuance event for user: {UserId}",
request.Data?.AuthenticationContext?.User?.Id);
// Create response with custom claims
var response = new WebJobsTokenIssuanceStartResponse();
// Add claims to the token
response.Actions.Add(new WebJobsProvideClaimsForToken
{
Claims = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
{ "customClaim1", "customValue1" },
{ "department", "Engineering" },
{ "costCenter", "CC-12345" },
{ "apiVersion", "v2" }
}
});
return response;
}

{
private static readonly HttpClient _httpClient = new();
[FunctionName("OnTokenIssuanceStartExternal")]
public static async Task<WebJobsAuthenticationEventResponse> Run(
[WebJobsAuthenticationEventsTrigger] WebJobsTokenIssuanceStartRequest request,
ILogger log)
{
string? userId = request.Data?.AuthenticationContext?.User?.Id;
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(userId))
{
log.LogWarning("No user ID in request");
return new WebJobsTokenIssuanceStartResponse();
}
// Fetch user data from external API
var userProfile = await GetUserProfileAsync(userId);
var response = new WebJobsTokenIssuanceStartResponse();
response.Actions.Add(new WebJobsProvideClaimsForToken
{
Claims = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
{ "employeeId", userProfile.EmployeeId },
{ "department", userProfile.Department },
{ "roles", string.Join(",", userProfile.Roles) }
}
});
return response;
}
private static async Task<UserProfile> GetUserProfileAsync(string userId)
{
var response = await _httpClient.GetAsync($"https://api.example.com/users/{userId}");
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
var json = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
return JsonSerializer.Deserialize<UserProfile>(json)!;
}
}
public record UserProfile(string EmployeeId, string Department, string[] Roles);3. Attribute Collection - Customize UI (Start Event)
Customize the attribute collection page before it's displayed.
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.AuthenticationEvents;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.AuthenticationEvents.Framework;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
public static class AttributeCollectionStartFunction
{
[FunctionName("OnAttributeCollectionStart")]
public static WebJobsAuthenticationEventResponse Run(
[WebJobsAuthenticationEventsTrigger] WebJobsAttributeCollectionStartRequest request,
ILogger log)
{
log.LogInformation("Attribute collection start for correlation: {CorrelationId}",
request.Data?.AuthenticationContext?.CorrelationId);
var response = new WebJobsAttributeCollectionStartResponse();
// Option 1: Continue with default behavior
response.Actions.Add(new WebJobsContinueWithDefaultBehavior());
// Option 2: Prefill attributes
// response.Actions.Add(new WebJobsSetPrefillValues
// {
// Attributes = new Dictionary<string, string>
// {
// { "city", "Seattle" },
// { "country", "USA" }
// }
// });
// Option 3: Show blocking page (prevent sign-up)
// response.Actions.Add(new WebJobsShowBlockPage
// {
// Message = "Sign-up is currently disabled."
// });
return response;
}
}4. Attribute Collection - Validate Submission (Submit Event)
Validate and modify attributes after user submission.

var response = new WebJobsAttributeCollectionSubmitResponse();
// Access submitted attributes
var attributes = request.Data?.UserSignUpInfo?.Attributes;
string? email = attributes?["email"]?.ToString();
string? displayName = attributes?["displayName"]?.ToString();
// Validation example: block certain email domains
if (email?.EndsWith("@blocked.com") == true)
{
response.Actions.Add(new WebJobsShowBlockPage
{
Message = "Sign-up from this email domain is not allowed."
});
return response;
}
// Validation example: show validation error
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(displayName) || displayName.Length < 3)
{
response.Actions.Add(new WebJobsShowValidationError
{
Message = "Display name must be at least 3 characters.",
AttributeErrors = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
{ "displayName", "Name is too short" }
}
});
return response;
}
// Modify attributes before saving
response.Actions.Add(new WebJobsModifyAttributeValues
{
Attributes = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
{ "displayName", displayName.Trim() },
{ "city", attributes?["city"]?.ToString()?.ToUpperInvariant() ?? "" }
}
});
return response;
}
}5. Custom OTP Delivery
Send one-time passwords via custom channels (SMS, email, push notification).
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.AuthenticationEvents;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.AuthenticationEvents.Framework;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
public static class CustomOtpFunction
{
[FunctionName("OnOtpSend")]
public static async Task<WebJobsAuthenticationEventResponse> Run(
[WebJobsAuthenticationEventsTrigger] WebJobsOnOtpSendRequest request,
ILogger log)
{
var response = new WebJobsOnOtpSendResponse();
string? phoneNumber = request.Data?.OtpContext?.Identifier;
string? otp = request.Data?.OtpContext?.OneTimeCode;
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(phoneNumber) || string.IsNullOrEmpty(otp))
{
log.LogError("Missing phone number or OTP");
response.Actions.Add(new WebJobsOnOtpSendFailed
{
Error = "Missing required data"
});
return response;

response.Actions.Add(new WebJobsOnOtpSendSuccess());
log.LogInformation("OTP sent successfully to {PhoneNumber}", phoneNumber);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
log.LogError(ex, "Failed to send OTP");
response.Actions.Add(new WebJobsOnOtpSendFailed
{
Error = "Failed to send verification code"
});
}
return response;
}
private static async Task SendSmsAsync(string phoneNumber, string message)
{
// Implement your SMS provider integration (Twilio, Azure Communication Services, etc.)
await Task.CompletedTask;
}
}6. Function App Configuration

// Program.cs (Isolated worker model)
using Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting;
var host = new HostBuilder()
.ConfigureFunctionsWorkerDefaults()
.Build();
host.Run();// host.json
{
"version": "2.0",
"logging": {
"applicationInsights": {
"samplingSettings": {
"isEnabled": true
}
}
},
"extensions": {
"http": {
"routePrefix": ""

Entra ID Configuration
After deploying your Function App, configure the custom extension in Entra ID:
Register the API in Entra ID → App registrations
Create Custom Authentication Extension in Entra ID → External Identities → Custom authentication extensions
Link to User Flow in Entra ID → External Identities → User flows
Required App Registration Settings
Expose an API:
- Application ID URI: api://<your-function-app-name>.azurewebsites.net
- Scope: CustomAuthenticationExtension.Receive.Payload
API Permissions:
- Microsoft Graph: User.Read (delegated)Best Practices
Validate all inputs — Never trust request data; validate before processing
Handle errors gracefully — Return appropriate error responses
Log correlation IDs — Use
CorrelationIdfor troubleshootingKeep functions fast — Authentication events have timeout limits
Use managed identity — Access Azure resources securely
Cache external data — Avoid slow lookups on every request
Test locally — Use Azure Functions Core Tools with sample payloads
Monitor with App Insights — Track function execution and errors
Error Handling
[FunctionName("OnTokenIssuanceStart")]
public static WebJobsAuthenticationEventResponse Run(
[WebJobsAuthenticationEventsTrigger] WebJobsTokenIssuanceStartRequest request,
ILogger log)
{
try
{
// Your logic here
var response = new WebJobsTokenIssuanceStartResponse();
response.Actions.Add(new WebJobsProvideClaimsForToken
{
Claims = new Dictionary<string, string> { { "claim", "value" } }
});
return response;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
log.LogError(ex, "Error processing token issuance event");
// Return empty response - authentication continues without custom claims
// Do NOT throw - this would fail the authentication
return new WebJobsTokenIssuanceStartResponse();
}
