Warning
At this time, AAD client authentication and the Managed Identity Token Service are mutually incompatible on Linux.
For clusters running on Azure, Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is recommended to secure access to management endpoints. This article describes how to setup Azure AD to authenticate clients for a Service Fabric cluster.
On Linux, you must complete the following steps before you create the cluster. On Windows, you also have the option to configure Azure AD authentication for an existing cluster.
In this article, the term "application" will be used to refer to Azure Active Directory applications, not Service Fabric applications; the distinction will be made where necessary. Azure AD enables organizations (known as tenants) to manage user access to applications.
A Service Fabric cluster offers several entry points to its management functionality, including the web-based Service Fabric Explorer and Visual Studio. As a result, you will create two Azure AD applications to control access to the cluster: one web application and one native application. After the applications are created, you will assign users to read-only and admin roles.
Note
At this time, Service Fabric doesn't support Azure AD authentication for storage.
Note
It is a known issue that applications and nodes on Linux AAD-enabled clusters cannot be viewed in Azure Portal.
Note
Azure Active Directory now requires an application (app registration) publishers domain to be verified or use of default scheme. See Configure an application's publisher domain and AppId Uri in single tenant applications will require use of default scheme or verified domains for additional information.
Prerequisites
In this article, we assume that you have already created a tenant. If you have not, start by reading How to get an Azure Active Directory tenant.To simplify some of the steps involved in configuring Azure AD with a Service Fabric cluster, we have created a set of Windows PowerShell scripts. Some actions require administrative level access to Azure AD. If script errors with 401/403 'Authorization_RequestDenied', an administrator will need to execute script.
- Authenticate with Azure administrative permissions.
- Clone the repo to your computer.
- Ensure you have all prerequisites for the scripts installed.
Create Azure AD applications and assign users to roles
We'll use the scripts to create two Azure AD applications to control access to the cluster: one web application and one native application. After you create applications to represent your cluster, you'll create users for the roles supported by Service Fabric: read-only and admin.
SetupApplications.ps1
Run SetupApplications.ps1 and provide the tenant ID, cluster name, web application URI, and web application reply URL as parameters. Use -remove to remove the app registrations. Using -logFile <log file path> will generate a transcript log. See script help (help .\setupApplications.ps1 -full) for additional information. The script creates the web and native applications to represent your Service Fabric cluster. The two new app registration entries will be in the following format:
- ClusterName_Cluster
- ClusterName_Client
Note
For national clouds (for example Azure Government, Azure China), you should also specify the -Location parameter.
Parameters
tenantId: You can find your TenantId by executing the PowerShell command
Get-AzureSubscription. Executing this command displays the TenantId for every subscription.clusterName: ClusterName is used to prefix the Azure AD applications that are created by the script. It does not need to match the actual cluster name exactly. It is intended only to make it easier to map Azure AD artifacts to the Service Fabric cluster that they're being used with.
webApplicationReplyUrl: WebApplicationReplyUrl is the default endpoint that Azure AD returns to your users after they finish signing in. Set this endpoint as the Service Fabric Explorer endpoint for your cluster. If you are creating Azure AD applications to represent an existing cluster, make sure this URL matches your existing cluster's endpoint. If you are creating applications for a new cluster, plan the endpoint your cluster will have and make sure not to use the endpoint of an existing cluster. By default the Service Fabric Explorer endpoint is:
https://<cluster_domain>:19080/ExplorerwebApplicationUri: WebApplicationUri is either the URI of a 'verified domain' or URI using API scheme format of api://{{tenant Id}}/{{cluster name}}. See AppId Uri in single tenant applications will require use of default scheme or verified domains for additional information.

SetupUser.ps1 is used to add user accounts to the newly created app registration using $configObj output variable from above. Specify username for user account to be configured with app registration and specify 'isAdmin' for administrative permissions. If the user account is new, provide the temporary password for the new user as well. The password will need to be changed on first logon. Using '-remove', will remove the user account not just the app registration.

SetupClusterResource.ps1 can optionally be used to export existing cluster resource ARM template, add / modify 'azureActiveDirectory' configuration, and redeploy template. Use '-Whatif' to only export and modify template but not redeploy configuration change. This script does require Azure 'Az' module and name of the resource group for cluster.
SetupClusterResource.ps1 -whatIf example
# requires azure module 'az'# install-module az$resourceGroupName = 'mysftestcluster'.\SetupClusterResource.ps1 -configObj $configObj ` -resourceGroupName $resourceGroupName ` -WhatIfOnce template has been verified and is ready to process, either rerun script without '-WhatIf' or use powershell commandlet 'New-AzResourceGroupDeployment' to deploy template.
SetupClusterResource.ps1 example
$resourceGroupName = 'mysftestcluster'.\SetupClusterResource.ps1 -configObj $configObj ` -resourceGroupName $resourceGroupNameNote
Update cluster provisioning ARM templates or scripts with new cluster resource Azure AD configuration changes.
Granting admin consent
It may be necessary to 'Grant admin consent' for the 'API permissions' being configured. Navigate to Azure App registrations blade and add name of cluster to the filter. For both registrations, open 'API permissions', and select 'Grant admin consent for' if available.
Verifying Azure AD Configuration
Navigate to the Service Fabric Explorer (SFX) URL. This should be the same as the parameter webApplicationReplyUrl. An Azure authentication dialog should be displayed. Log on with an account configured with the new Azure AD configuration. Verify that the administrator account has read/write access and that the user has read access. Any modification to the cluster, for example, performing an action, is an administrative action.
Troubleshooting help in setting up Azure Active Directory
Setting up Azure AD and using it can be challenging, so here are some pointers on what you can do to debug the issue. PowerShell transcript logging can be enabled by using the '-logFile' argument on 'SetupApplications.ps1' and 'SetupUser.ps1' scripts to review output.
Note
With migration of Identities platforms (ADAL to MSAL), deprecation of AzureRM in favor of Azure AZ, and supporting multiple versions of PowerShell, dependencies may not always be correct or up to date causing errors in script execution. Running PowerShell commands and scripts from Azure Cloud Shell reduces the potential for errors with session auto authentication and managed identity.

Service Fabric Explorer prompts you to select a certificate
Problem
After you sign in successfully to Azure AD in Service Fabric Explorer, the browser returns to the home page but a message prompts you to select a certificate.
Reason
The user is not assigned a role in the Azure AD cluster application. Thus, Azure AD authentication fails on Service Fabric cluster. Service Fabric Explorer falls back to certificate authentication.
Solution
Follow the instructions for setting up Azure AD, and assign user roles. Also, we recommend that you turn on "User assignment required to access app," as SetupApplications.ps1 does.
Connection with PowerShell fails with an error: "The specified credentials are invalid"
Problem
When you use PowerShell to connect to the cluster by using "AzureActiveDirectory" security mode, after you sign in successfully to Azure AD, the connection fails with an error: "The specified credentials are invalid."
Solution
This solution is the same as the preceding one.
Service Fabric Explorer returns a failure when you sign in: "AADSTS50011"
Problem
When you try to sign in to Azure AD in Service Fabric Explorer, the page returns a failure: "AADSTS50011: The reply address <url> does not match the reply addresses configured for the application: <guid>."
Reason
The cluster (web) application that represents Service Fabric Explorer attempts to authenticate against Azure AD, and as part of the request it provides the redirect return URL. But the URL is not listed in the Azure AD application REPLY URL list.
Solution
On the Azure AD app registration page for your cluster, select Authentication, and under the Redirect URIs section, add the Service Fabric Explorer URL to the list. Save your change.
Connecting to the cluster using Azure AD authentication via PowerShell gives an error when you sign in: "AADSTS50011"
Problem
When you try to connect to a Service Fabric cluster using Azure AD via PowerShell, the sign-in page returns a failure: "AADSTS50011: The reply url specified in the request does not match the reply urls configured for the application: <guid>."
Reason
Similar to the preceding issue, PowerShell attempts to authenticate against Azure AD, which provides a redirect URL that isn't listed in the Azure AD application Reply URLs list.
Solution
Use the same process as in the preceding issue, but the URL must be set to urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob, a special redirect for command-line authentication.
Execution of script results in error in Authorization error
Problem
PowerShell script may fail to perform all of the REST commands required to complete Azure AD configuration with error "Authorization_RequestDenied","Insufficient privileges to complete the operation". Example error:

This error is returned when the user account executing the script doesn't have the permissions to perform the REST call. This can occur if the user doesn't have Administrator/Manage/Write permissions for the objects being created or modified.
Solution
Work with an Administrator of Azure tenant/Azure Active Directory to complete all remaining actions. The scripts provided are idempotent so can be re-executed to complete the process.
Connect the cluster by using Azure AD authentication via PowerShell
To connect the Service Fabric cluster, use the following PowerShell command example:
Connect-ServiceFabricCluster -ConnectionEndpoint <endpoint> -KeepAliveIntervalInSec 10 -AzureActiveDirectory -ServerCertThumbprint <thumbprint>To learn more, see Connect-ServiceFabricCluster cmdlet.
Can I reuse the same Azure AD tenant in multiple clusters?
Yes. But remember to add the URL of Service Fabric Explorer to your cluster (web) application. Otherwise, Service Fabric Explorer doesn’t work.
Why do I still need a server certificate while Azure AD is enabled?
FabricClient and FabricGateway perform a mutual authentication. During Azure AD authentication, Azure AD integration provides a client identity to the server, and the server certificate is used by the client to verify the server's identity. For more information about Service Fabric certificates, see X.509 certificates and Service Fabric.
Next steps
