Overview

This document describes how to implement the required components to enable the SaaS Accelerator for the SaaS Fulfillment API (v2), Marketplace Metering Service API, and additional components that demonstrate how to build a customer provisioning interface, logging, and administration of the customer's subscriptions.

Learn more about what's included and how to use the SaaS Accelerator here.

Please note: the SaaS Accelerator is community-supported. If you need help or have questions about using the SaaS Accelerator, please create a GitHub issue. Do not contact the marketplace publisher support alias directly regarding use of the SaaS Accelerator. Thank you.

Note

  • The template uses the Web App Name Prefix to create two web applications. For example, if the value provided for this field is contoso, the deployment creates the customer portal - https://contoso-portal.azurewebsites.net and the publisher portal - https://contoso-admin.azurewebsites.net.
  • Important For the login to the portals to work, it is important that you configure the Redirect URIs in the AD application to use these web applications. Here are the redirect URIs that should be in place:

Deploy web applications and SQL Azure database using Powershell

Using Azure Cloud Shell

  1. Copy the following section to an editor and update it to match your company preference. Replace SOME-UNIQUE-STRING with your Team name or some other random string.
dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef; `
git clone https://github.com/Azure/Commercial-Marketplace-SaaS-Accelerator.git -b 7.2.1 --depth 1; `
cd ./Commercial-Marketplace-SaaS-Accelerator/deployment; `
.\Deploy.ps1 `
 -WebAppNamePrefix "marketplace-SOME-UNIQUE-STRING" `
 -ResourceGroupForDeployment "marketplace-SOME-UNIQUE-STRING" `
 -PublisherAdminUsers "[email protected]" `
 -Location "East US"
  1. Paste the updated command in an Azure Cloud Shell PowerShell window.

Local deployment

  1. Install Powershell 7.0.2
  1. Start a Windows PowerShell window as administrator and run the following commands to install Azure modules:

    -AzureSubscriptionID "subscriptionId" `
    -ResourceGroupForDeployment "resourcegroup" `
    -Location "East US" `

Change configuration

Open the files appsettings.json under the project CustomerSite and AdminSite update the values as follows:

  • GrantType - Leave this as client_credentials
  • ClientId - Azure Active Directory Application ID (the value for marketplace offer in Partner Center, under technical configuration tab). Steps to register an Azure AD application are here
  • ClientSecret - Secret from the Azure Active Directory Application
  • Resource - Set this to 20e940b3-4c77-4b0b-9a53-9e16a1b010a7 this value is important, it is the resource ID for the fulfillment API
  • FulFillmentAPIBaseURL - https://marketplaceapi.microsoft.com/api
  • SignedOutRedirectUri - Set the path to the page the user should be redirected to after signing out from the application
  • TenantId - Provide the tenant ID detail that was submitted in the. Technical configuration section of your marketplace offer in Partner Center.
  • FulfillmentApiVersion - Use 2018-08-31 for the production version of the fulfillment APIs
  • AdAuthenticationEndpoint - https://login.microsoftonline.com
  • SaaSAppUrl - URL to the SaaS solution
  • DefaultConnection - Set the connection string to connect to the database.

After making all of the above changes, the appSettings.json would look like sample below.

{
  "Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Information",
      "Microsoft": "Warning",
      "Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime": "Information"
    }
  },
  "SaaSApiConfiguration": {
    "GrantType": "client_credentials",
    "ClientId": "<Azure AD application ID>",
    "ClientSecret": "<client secret>",
    "Resource": "20e940b3-4c77-4b0b-9a53-9e16a1b010a7",
    "FulFillmentAPIBaseURL": "https://marketplaceapi.microsoft.com/api",
    "SignedOutRedirectUri": "<provisioning_or_publisher_web_app_base_path>/Home/Index",
    "TenantId": "<TenantID of AD application>",
    "FulFillmentAPIVersion": "2018-08-31",
    "AdAuthenticationEndPoint": "https://login.microsoftonline.com",
    "SaaSAppUrl" : "<Link-to-SaaS-application>"
  },
  "connectionStrings" : {
    "DefaultConnection": "Data source=<server>;initial catalog=<database>;user id=<username>;password=<password>"
    },
  "AllowedHosts": "*"
}

(Optional but recommended) Setting and Loading above configuration values from KeyVault

Create Web Apps on Azure and deploy the code

The sample has two web apps to demonstrate the activation of a subscription for a SaaS offer, and potential scenarios for managing subscriptions and users.

There are many ways to create Web App resources on App Service and deploy the code,

You can use any of the methods above to create the web apps and deploy the code, but for the rest of this document, let's assume the use of Visual Studio method to deploy the following two apps. Give appropriate names to indicate the applications' roles, for example, <yourname>provisioning, and <yourname>publisher. Please remember that these names will be the DNS prefix for the host names of your applications and will eventually be available as yournameprovisioning.azurewebsites.net and yournamepublisher.azurewebsites.net.

  1. Customer provisioning sample web application, create and deploy the provisioning sample web application project in folder src/CustomerSite
  2. Publisher sample web application, create and deploy the provisioning sample web application project in folder src/CustomerSite

Deploying the debug release, and choosing "self-contained" deployment mode is useful for the initial deployments.

publisoptions

Important, Add the redirect uri on the Azure AD app registration after deploying the publisher solution following the steps here. The value should be https://<yourappname>.azurewebsites.net/Home/Index

Running the solution locally

Press F5 in Visual Studio 2019 to run the application locally.

Important, Add the redirect uri on the Azure AD app registration after deploying the publisher solution following the steps here. The value should be https://<yourappname>.azurewebsites.net/Home/Index

Important, the actual flow of subscribing to an offer on the Azure marketplace and managing the relevant lifetime events of the subscription, such as activation, cancellation, and upgrade is only possible for the provisioning solution deployed to a location accessible on the internet.

Landing page and webhook settings for the SaaS offer on Partner Center

The landing page and the webhook endpoint are implemented in the CustomerSite application.

The landing page is the home page of the solution, for example, if you have deployed the solution to <yourappname>, the landing page value should be https://<yourappname>.azurewebsites.net.

Webhook endpoint is at https://<yourappname>.azurewebsites.net/api/AzureWebhook

The Technical Configuration section of the Marketplace offer with the values filled using the web app names would look like as shown here.

Technical Configuration

Field Value
Landing page URL Path to the Provisioning Service. Eg: https://saaskit-portal.azurewebsites.net
Connection webhook Path to the web hook API in the Provisioning Service. Eg: https://saaskit-portal.azurewebsites.net/api/AzureWebhook
Azure Active Directory Tenant ID Tenant where the AD application is registered
Azure Active Directory Application ID ID of the registered AD application

Running the webhook locally

You may find yourself wanting to exercise the webhook in your local development environment. There is a challenge here that has been addressed in the webhook code.

There is logic in the webhook to verify the operation that was received via HTTP POST. This is a best practice, but provides challenges when exercising the webhook on your desktop, perhaps by POSTing a webhook payload with Postman or a similar tool.

To get around this in your development environment, you can set an environmental variable to bypass verifying the operation within the Azure marketplace. Setting this variable on a local development machine can be done in appsetting.Development.json. The vey/value pair to add to your environmental variables is as follows.

environment=development

⚠️ This variable should never be set in production. It is for local development purposes only.

Any other value for the environmental variable, including not having the variable present, will result in the webhook authenticating the operation of the request.
