How to inlcude more attributes in OAuth2User retruned from Azure Active Directory (AAD) using Spring Boot Starter oAuth2 Client

Question

I am using spring-boot-starter-oauth2-client, spring-cloud-azure-starter-active-directory (spring-cloud-azure-dependencies 4.0.0) to add oauth2 authentication against Azure Active Directory to a trivial Spring Boot app. All is working fine.

I noticed that the OAuth2User principal I get from the Spring Security authentication does not contain e.g. all attributes visible in AAD for the identity. Is there a way of requesting more information (e.g. separate attributes for first and last name) to be included in the response (no separate call)?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/developer/java/spring-framework/spring-boot-starter-for-azure-active-directory-developer-guide looked promising but did help me.

You can try by selecting optional claims in token configuration ,where you can select the required tokens you want to reflect in the token.

• As per the documentation the optional claim given_name and family_name requires profile scope in your token request.

• Please check Provide optional claims to Azure AD apps - Microsoft identity platform | Microsoft Docs

You can update optional claims given_name which is first name and family_name ( last name ) in manifest.json file:

"accessTokenAcceptedVersion": 2,
"optionalClaims": {
    "idToken": [
        {
            "name": "given_name",
            "source": "user",
            "essential": false,
            "additionalProperties": []
        },
        {
            "name": "family_name",
            "source": "user",
            "essential": false,
            "additionalProperties": []
        }
    ],
    "accessToken": [],
    "saml2Token": []
}

If it is for Microsoft graph api , you can check mark the same for accesstoken.

Also try by adding email and openid scopes and grant api permissions for them.
