Azure Active Directory TokenCache based on Entity Framework DB (issue in MS code)

Azure Active Directory TokenCache based on Entity Framework DB (issue in MS code)

If you’re working with secure web applications with Azure Active Directory, you’re probably working with ADAL. ADAL has its own Token Cache (wonderfully explained in this post from the father of ADAL, Vittorio Bertocci. The Token Cache included in ADAL, it’s only suitable for native applications because it works “in memory”, so this will be a problem sooner or later for web applications. Fortunately, with ADAL v2, we can implement our own token cache, just inheriting from the TokenCache class. In fact, there’re a couple of examples in the same post of Vittorio, and one of them is based on SQL Server with Entity Framework. Therefore, it can be used perfectly for web applications.

[SPFx] Extending Gulp and running tasks in series (or in parallel)

As you may already know, the new SharePoint framework uses Gulp for all the “compilation” tasks: bundle JavaScript files, generate the package file, etc. However, when we have to create our own Gulp tasks, it doesn’t follow the “normal” mechanism of Gulp, so we can’t just add a new “Task” in the “Gulpfile.js”

Continuous Integration in SharePoint with Team Services and PnP

Continuous Integration in SharePoint with Team Services and PnP

In this article, we will see how we can use the PnP framework with Visual Studio Team Services to configure a Continuous Integration Build in SharePoint Projects. The most part of what we will show in this article, works also for SharePoint On Premises, but the different screenshots or pieces of code are aimed at SharePoint Online.

Custom Extensibility Handlers for PnP Provisioning Framework

Following the series of articles talking about the PnP Provisioning framework, we will see how to create our own ExtensibilityHandlers, adding our own actions, when exporting a site as a template, or when provisioning a template to a new site.

An important announcement that is not in the article, but that Vesa Juvonen announced during the bi-weekly team Webcast, is that the PnP program will become part of the SharePoint product group, which means that the program is still Open Source and made by and for the community but, in some way, Microsoft recognises the success and good work of the program, and, in my opinion, the product team will begin to use it internally.
