## README
**Note:** This package has been deprecated in favor of the new `@azure/identity` package from [Azure SDK for JavaScript](https://github.com/azure/azure-sdk-for-js). Please check out the `InteractiveBrowserCredential` provided by `@azure/identity` package and also [the sample of using `@azure/msal-browser`](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-js/blob/dc5f9743b05ea78f938eba31cbe704150889490c/sdk/identity/identity/samples/AzureIdentityExamples.md#authenticating-with-the-azuremsal-browser-public-client).
# ms-rest-browserauth [](https://dev.azure.com/azure-public/adx/_build/latest?definitionId=8)
Provides browser-based authentication for Azure resources. Designed for use with libraries in [azure-sdk-for-js](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-js).
## Requirements
- node.js version > 6.x
## Getting Started
Before using this library, you need to register your application in the Microsoft identity platform and set the right permissions.
- [Register a single page application](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/develop/scenario-spa-app-registration) in the Microsoft identity platform
- Configure the app registration with a redirect URI to specify where the Microsoft identity platform should redirect the client along with any security tokens.
- Follow the instructions at [Redirect URI: MSAL.js 1.0 with implicit flow](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/develop/scenario-spa-app-registration#redirect-uri-msaljs-10-with-implicit-flow) to set the redirect URI.
- Please note that `@azure/ms-rest-browserauth` does not support MSAL.js 2.0
- Ensure that your application has the right permission for the APIs it intends to use.
- In your app registration in the Azure portal, go to `API Permissions`
- Click on `Add a permission`
- Select the API you want to use
- Check the box for `user_impersonation` permission
- Keep in mind that the account administrator may need to grant admin consent for the Default Directory.
- For more information: [Grant admin consent in App registrations](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/grant-admin-consent).
Below is a basic sample that accesses the `Azure Service Management` APIs to list the available subscriptions. See the [samples](samples) for more detailed usage.
