About claim resolvers in Azure Active Directory B2C custom policies

Claim resolvers in Azure Active Directory B2C (Azure AD B2C) custom policies provide context information about an authorization request, such as the policy name, request correlation ID, user interface language, and more.

To use a claim resolver in an input or output claim, you define a string ClaimType, under the ClaimsSchema element, and then you set the DefaultValue to the claim resolver in the input or output claim element. Azure AD B2C reads the value of the claim resolver and uses the value in the technical profile.

In the following example, a claim type named correlationId is defined with a DataType of string.

<ClaimType Id="correlationId">
  <DisplayName>correlationId</DisplayName>
  <DataType>string</DataType>
  <UserHelpText>Request correlation Id</UserHelpText>
</ClaimType>

In the technical profile, map the claim resolver to the claim type. Azure AD B2C populates the value of the claim resolver {Context:CorrelationId} into the claim correlationId and sends the claim to the technical profile.

<InputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="correlationId" DefaultValue="{Context:CorrelationId}" />

Culture

The following table lists the claim resolvers with information about the language used in the authorization request:

Claim Description Example
{Culture:LanguageName} The two letter ISO code for the language. en
{Culture:LCID} The LCID of language code. 1033
{Culture:RegionName} The two letter ISO code for the region. US
{Culture:RFC5646} The RFC5646 language code. en-US

OAuth2 key-value parameters

Any parameter name included as part of an OIDC or OAuth2 request can be mapped to a claim in the user journey. For example, the request from the application might include a query string parameter with a name of app_session, loyalty_number, or any custom query string.

Claim Description Example
{OAUTH-KV:campaignId} A query string parameter. Hawaii
{OAUTH-KV:app_session} A query string parameter. A3C5R
{OAUTH-KV:loyalty_number} A query string parameter. 1234
{OAUTH-KV:any custom query string} A query string parameter. N/A

SAML key-value parameters

In a SAML authentication request, any parameter name that's included in the request, but isn’t specific to the protocol (such as SAMLRequest) can be mapped to a claim in the user journey. For example, the request may include a custom parameter such as username. This applies to both SP-Initiated and IDP-Initiated SAML requests.

Claim Description Example
{SAML-KV:username} A query string or POST body parameter. username@domain.com
{SAML-KV:loyalty_number} A query string or POST body parameter. 1234
{SAML-KV:any custom query string} A query string or POST body parameter. N/A

Claim resolvers samples

RESTful technical profile

In a RESTful technical profile, you may want to send the user language, policy name, scope, and client ID. Based on the claims the REST API can run custom business logic, and if necessary raise a localized error message.

The following example shows a RESTful technical profile with this scenario:

<TechnicalProfile Id="REST">
  <DisplayName>Validate user input data and return loyaltyNumber claim</DisplayName>
  <Protocol Name="Proprietary" Handler="Web.TPEngine.Providers.RestfulProvider, Web.TPEngine, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" />
  <Metadata>
    <Item Key="ServiceUrl">https://your-app.azurewebsites.net/api/identity</Item>
    <Item Key="AuthenticationType">None</Item>
    <Item Key="SendClaimsIn">Body</Item>
    <Item Key="IncludeClaimResolvingInClaimsHandling">true</Item>
  </Metadata>
  <InputClaims>
    <InputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="userLanguage" DefaultValue="{Culture:LCID}" AlwaysUseDefaultValue="true" />
    <InputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="policyName" DefaultValue="{Policy:PolicyId}" AlwaysUseDefaultValue="true" />
    <InputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="scope" DefaultValue="{OIDC:Scope}" AlwaysUseDefaultValue="true" />
    <InputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="clientId" DefaultValue="{OIDC:ClientId}" AlwaysUseDefaultValue="true" />
  </InputClaims>
  <UseTechnicalProfileForSessionManagement ReferenceId="SM-Noop" />
</TechnicalProfile>

Direct sign-in

Using claim resolvers, you can prepopulate the sign-in name or direct sign-in to a specific social identity provider, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, or a Microsoft account. For more information, see Set up direct sign-in using Azure Active Directory B2C.

Dynamic UI customization

Azure AD B2C enables you to pass query string parameters to your HTML content definition endpoints to dynamically render the page content. For example, this feature allows the ability to modify the background image on the Azure AD B2C sign-up or sign-in page based on a custom parameter that you pass from your web or mobile application. For more information, see Dynamically configure the UI by using custom policies in Azure Active Directory B2C. You can also localize your HTML page based on a language parameter, or you can change the content based on the client ID.

The following example passes in the query string parameter named campaignId with a value of Hawaii, a language code of en-US, and app representing the client ID:

<UserJourneyBehaviors>
  <ContentDefinitionParameters>
    <Parameter Name="campaignId">{OAUTH-KV:campaignId}</Parameter>
    <Parameter Name="language">{Culture:RFC5646}</Parameter>
    <Parameter Name="app">{OIDC:ClientId}</Parameter>
  </ContentDefinitionParameters>
</UserJourneyBehaviors>

As a result, Azure AD B2C sends the above parameters to the HTML content page:

/selfAsserted.aspx?campaignId=hawaii&language=en-US&app=0239a9cc-309c-4d41-87f1-31288feb2e82

Content definition

In a ContentDefinition LoadUri, you can send claim resolvers to pull content from different places, based on the parameters used.

<ContentDefinition Id="api.signuporsignin">
  <LoadUri>https://contoso.blob.core.windows.net/{Culture:LanguageName}/myHTML/unified.html</LoadUri>
  ...
</ContentDefinition>

Application Insights technical profile

With Azure Application Insights and claim resolvers you can gain insights on user behavior. In the Application Insights technical profile, you send input claims that are persisted to Azure Application Insights. For more information, see Track user behavior in Azure AD B2C journeys by using Application Insights. The following example sends the policy ID, correlation ID, language, and the client ID to Azure Application Insights.

<TechnicalProfile Id="AzureInsights-Common">
  <DisplayName>Alternate Email</DisplayName>
  <Protocol Name="Proprietary" Handler="Web.TPEngine.Providers.Insights.AzureApplicationInsightsProvider, Web.TPEngine, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" />
  ...
  <InputClaims>
    <InputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="PolicyId" PartnerClaimType="{property:Policy}" DefaultValue="{Policy:PolicyId}" />
    <InputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="CorrelationId" PartnerClaimType="{property:CorrelationId}" DefaultValue="{Context:CorrelationId}" />
    <InputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="language" PartnerClaimType="{property:language}" DefaultValue="{Culture:RFC5646}" />
    <InputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="AppId" PartnerClaimType="{property:App}" DefaultValue="{OIDC:ClientId}" />
  </InputClaims>
</TechnicalProfile>

Relying party policy

In a Relying party policy technical profile, you may want to send the tenant ID, or correlation ID to the relying party application within the JWT.

<RelyingParty>
    <DefaultUserJourney ReferenceId="SignUpOrSignIn" />
    <TechnicalProfile Id="PolicyProfile">
      <DisplayName>PolicyProfile</DisplayName>
      <Protocol Name="OpenIdConnect" />
      <OutputClaims>
        <OutputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="displayName" />
        <OutputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="givenName" />
        <OutputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="surname" />
        <OutputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="email" />
        <OutputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="objectId" PartnerClaimType="sub"/>
        <OutputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="identityProvider" />
        <OutputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="tenantId" AlwaysUseDefaultValue="true" DefaultValue="{Policy:TenantObjectId}" />
        <OutputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="correlationId" AlwaysUseDefaultValue="true" DefaultValue="{Context:CorrelationId}" />
      </OutputClaims>
      <SubjectNamingInfo ClaimType="sub" />
    </TechnicalProfile>
  </RelyingParty>
