How to force Cortana OAuth not to use Magic Code
I used the botbuilder-js to write a custom bot. At some point it requires the user to sign in, so the bot sends out the OAuthPrompt dialog, which makes user sign in (with google, which I have configured in Azure Portal OAuth Connection Settings). It works fine in the Bot Framework Emulator, but when I integrate the bot with Cortana, after the user signs in, he lands on this page:
The fun part is that this dialog is modal, so I cannot paste the code in the Cortana chat even if I wanted to.
What do I need to do to force Cortana to not require this magic code?
Already answered this on the GitHub botbuilder-js repo. Answering for greater visibility.
It does appear to be a bug. I was able to repro the issue. If you copy the code down you can enter the code as a new command to the bot. It's a terrible work around, but it will work until the UI is fixed. Follow these steps:
- Open Cortana and connect to your bot ("tell [bot] hi")
- Click login option
- Write down magic code from window
- Open Cortana and re-connect to your bot
- Tell your bot the magic code ("tell [bot] [magic code]")
- Login should succeed
- Interact with your bot
