I would like to be programmatically able to get a token from Azure.
I call GetAToken().Wait(); and it fails.
and the method is:
public async Task<string> GetAToken()
{
// authentication parameters
string clientID = "*********";
string username = "<azure login>";
string password = "<azure login password>";
string directoryName = "<AD Domain name>";
ClientCredential cc = new ClientCredential(clientID, password);
var authenticationContext = new AuthenticationContext(
"https://login.windows.net/" + directoryName);
AuthenticationResult result = await authenticationContext.AcquireTokenAsync(
"https://management.core.windows.net/", cc);
if (result == null)
{
throw new InvalidOperationException("Failed to obtain the JWT token");
}
string token = result.AccessToken;
return token;
}
So not sure if you are doing this on Android, iOS or Xamarin.Forms. Below is how I will authenticate with ADAL and Azure (the code is working on my end):
On Android:
public async Task<AuthenticationResult> Authenticate(Activity context, string authority, string resource, string clientId, string returnUri)
{
var authContext = new AuthenticationContext(authority);
if (authContext.TokenCache.ReadItems().Any())
authContext = new AuthenticationContext(authContext.TokenCache.ReadItems().First().Authority);
var uri = new Uri(returnUri);
var platformParams = new PlatformParameters(context);
try
{
var authResult = await authContext.AcquireTokenAsync(resource, clientId, uri, platformParams);
return authResult;
}
catch (AdalException e)
{
return null;
}
}
On iOS:
public async Task<AuthenticationResult> Authenticate(UIViewController controller, string authority, string resource, string clientId, string returnUri)
{
var authContext = new AuthenticationContext(authority);
if (authContext.TokenCache.ReadItems().Any())
authContext = new AuthenticationContext(authContext.TokenCache.ReadItems().First().Authority);
var controller = UIApplication.SharedApplication.KeyWindow.RootViewController;
var uri = new Uri(returnUri);
var platformParams = new PlatformParameters(controller);
try
{
var authResult = await authContext.AcquireTokenAsync(resource, clientId, uri, platformParams);
return authResult;
}
catch (AdalException e)
{
return null;
}
}
On UWP:
public async Task<AuthenticationResult> Authenticate(string authority, string resource, string clientId, string returnUri)
{
var authContext = new AuthenticationContext(authority);
if (authContext.TokenCache.ReadItems().Any())
authContext = new AuthenticationContext(authContext.TokenCache.ReadItems().First().Authority);
var uri = new Uri(returnUri);
var platformParams = new PlatformParameters(PromptBehavior.Auto);
try
{
var authResult = await authContext.AcquireTokenAsync(resource, clientId, uri, platformParams);
return authResult;
}
catch (AdalException e)
{
return null;
}
}
Variable that I pass into the methods above:
string authority = "https://login.windows.net/common";
string ResourceID = "Backend ClientId";//Backend (web app)
string clientId = "Native App ClientId";//native app
string returnUri = "https://{My Azure Site}.azurewebsites.net/.auth/login/done";
If you want to do this in Xamarin.Forms, below are links to my GitHub solution where I have exposed these methods through the DependencyService.

I hope this helps! If you get any errors from your response, check to make sure you have your permissions setup in Azure correctly. I do it like this. Another great resource is Adrian Hall's Xamarin/Azure book
EDIT: Added UWP stuff
If what you are trying to do is call the Azure APIs as you, there are a few things you should do differently.
Create an app in Azure AD that has permissions to access the Azure API
If you want to call Service Management API, then add that as a permission
You could also alternatively use a management certificate
If you want to call Resource Management API, then add the permissions needed to the service principal through the new Portal
If you chose the delegated way for Service Management API (the first option), then you will have to either:
Have the user authenticate against Azure AD with the Authorization Code Grant flow
Or get the access token using the Password grant flow (you can see an example of this in another answer
If instead you chose a management certificate or giving the permissions to the service principal, then you can get the access token directly from Azure AD using the Client credentials grant flow
In the end you will always end up with an access token that you can use for calling the API.
IF you're using the wrappers, ensure to have the correct version-Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory -Version 2.21.301221612.
Once referenced, you can run this below. For alternatives, see this blog: https://samtran.me/2018/11/11/power-bi-rest-api/
If you are also running into issue on Android where device rotation returns you back to prompt for user email, you can follow up progress of fixes for both ADAL and MSAL here:

I have below Method to get a token from Azure using ClientID, TenantID and AADAppPassword
This is working awesome but now I need to switch to different AAD AppID and use Certificate Thumbprint Or Certificate pfx.
I don't want to change my 1000+ lines of code.
Can someone help me get a token the same way I'm getting using below Method but use Certificate Thumbprint instead and which returns token so that I can call the method right before I'm about to make rest API call.
public static async Task<string> GetAccessToken(string tenantId, string clientId, string clientKey)
{
string authContextURL = "https://login.windows.net/" + tenantId;
var authenticationContext = new AuthenticationContext(authContextURL);
var credential = new ClientCredential(clientId, clientKey);
var result = await authenticationContext
.AcquireTokenAsync("https://management.azure.com/", credential);
if (result == null)
{
throw new InvalidOperationException("Failed to obtain the JWT token");
}
string token = result.AccessToken;
return token;
}
You must use ClientAssertionCertificate instead of ClientCredential
X509Certificate2 cert = ReadCertificateFromStore(config.CertName);
certCred = new ClientAssertionCertificate(config.ClientId, cert);
result = await authContext.AcquireTokenAsync(todoListResourceId, certCred);
You may refer the Azure AD v1 Sample for this.
MSAL.NET is now the recommended auth library to use with the Microsoft identity platform. No new features will be implemented on ADAL.NET. The efforts are focused on improving MSAL. You can refer the documentation here if you are planning to migrate applications to MSAL.NET
I'm currently in the process of converting my Power BI embedded application from .NET to .NET core.
My old code for generating tokens looked something like this:
var credential = new UserPasswordCredential(Username, Password);
var authContext = new AuthenticationContext(AuthorityUrl);
var authResult = authContext.AcquireTokenSilentAsync(ResourceUrl, _applicationId).Result;
However, by design .NET Core does not support UserPasswordCredential.
Gunnar Peipman in a recent article "Embedded Power BI reports with ASP.NET Core" used a HTTP request to solve this, but is this the recommended approach?
private async Task<string> GetPowerBIAccessToken(PowerBISettings powerBISettings)
{
using(var client = new HttpClient())
{
var form = new Dictionary<string, string>();
form["grant_type"] = "password";
form["resource"] = powerBISettings.ResourceUrl;
form["username"] = powerBISettings.UserName;
form["password"] = powerBISettings.Password;
form["client_id"] = powerBISettings.ApplicationId.ToString();
form["client_secret"] = powerBISettings.ApplicationSecret;
form["scope"] = "openid";
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.TryAddWithoutValidation("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
using (var formContent = new FormUrlEncodedContent(form))
using (var response = await client.PostAsync(powerBISettings.AuthorityUrl, formContent))
{
var body = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
var jsonBody = JObject.Parse(body);
var errorToken = jsonBody.SelectToken("error");
if(errorToken != null)
{
throw new Exception(errorToken.Value<string>());
}
return jsonBody.SelectToken("access_token").Value<string>();
}
}
}
No, the recommended approach is to use ClientCredential class.
The idea here is that for apps to collect and store a user's username and password is not the correct approach for non-interactive authentication.
Also see Microsoft identity platform and the OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow and Acquiring Tokens:
Confidential client applications the flows will rather:
Acquire token for the application itself, not for a user, using client credentials.
And one more quote:
Pattern to acquire tokens in MSAL 3.x
All the Acquire Token methods in MSAL 3.x have the following pattern:
from the application, you call the AcquireTokenXXX method corresponding to the flow you want to use, passing the mandatory parameters for this flow (in general flow)
this returns a command builder, on which you can add optional parameters using .WithYYY methods
then you call ExecuteAsync() to get your authentication result.
Here is the pattern:
AuthenticationResult result = app.AcquireTokenXXX(mandatory-parameters)
.WithYYYParameter(optional-parameter)
.ExecuteAsync();
An example (again by Gunnar) how to do this:
public async Task<AuthenticationResult> RequestTokenAsync(
ClaimsPrincipal claimsPrincipal,
string authorizationCode,
string redirectUri,
string resource)
{
try
{
var userId = claimsPrincipal.GetObjectIdentifierValue();
var issuerValue = claimsPrincipal.GetIssuerValue();
var authenticationContext = await CreateAuthenticationContext(claimsPrincipal)
.ConfigureAwait(false);
var authenticationResult = await authenticationContext.AcquireTokenByAuthorizationCodeAsync(
authorizationCode,
new Uri(redirectUri),
new ClientCredential(_adOptions.ClientId, _adOptions.ClientSecret),
resource)
.ConfigureAwait(false);
return authenticationResult;
}
catch (Exception)
{
throw;
}
}
I want to access one API by its Client Credential directly not via any web application
private async Task<string> GetAutheticationToken(string APITypeSelected, string APIKeySelected=null)
{
string aadInstance = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ida:AADInstance"];
string tenant = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ida:AADTenant"];
string appKey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[APIKeySelected];
string apiID = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[APITypeSelected];
//appKey = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(appKey);
string authority = String.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, aadInstance, tenant);
using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
{
Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.AuthenticationContext authContext = null;
ClientCredential clientCredential = null;
authContext = new Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.AuthenticationContext(authority);
//encodeURIComponent(client_secret);
clientCredential = new ClientCredential(apiID, appKey);
AuthenticationResult authResult = null;
authResult = await authContext.AcquireTokenAsync(apiID, clientCredential);
return authResult.AccessToken;
}
}
while executing I am getting bellow error(AADSTS501051) in this line
authResult = await authContext.AcquireTokenAsync(apiID, clientCredential);
AADSTS501051: Application '{API GUID}'(DEV-API) is not assigned to a
role for the application '{API GUID}'(DEV-API).
Do I have to give API permission to itself.
What I need to do.
Thanks,
First you need to make a user role for application if app assignment is required. if not there is no problem. If app assignment is required, Go back to api permission and in my api give permission for the created role, see Microsoft documentation url
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/scenario-protected-web-api-app-registration
Ahh so you want an access token to the API itself? Not sure if that's possible..
If this in another app, it should be registered as another app in Azure AD.
It can then require application permissions on the API and call it via client credentials.
You can see how to define permissions here: https://joonasw.net/view/defining-permissions-and-roles-in-aad
If this is within the same app, it sounds odd that it would acquire a token for itself.
This error message indicates that you need to add an "App role" to your app registration. You can do so by first adding a new App role on {API GUID}
and then assign the app {API GUID} this role (don't forget to give admin consent)
Essentially what is happening here is that your app registration {API GUID} got a role on {API GUID} to create access tokens for the audience {API GUID}, so: itself.
When you use "authContext.AcquireTokenAsync(apiID, clientCredential);" to get the access token, you need to use identifierUri of your ad application as resource.
For example:
string tenantId = "your tenant id or name, for example: hanxia.onmicrosoft.com";
string clientId = "your client id";
string resource = "the identifierUri of your ad application ";
string clientSecret = "";
ClientCredentia clientCredentia = new ClientCredentia(clientId,clientSecret);
var context = new AuthenticationContext("https://login.microsoftonline.com/" + tenantId);
AuthenticationResult result = context.AcquireTokenAsync(resource, clientCredentia);
For more details, please refer to the document.
I try to get an access token for an identity to get data from all users profiles. I'm using OpenID connect to authenticate the user, in which I succeeded. I'm also able to get an access token, but it is not valid.
The code I'm using:
To authenticate:
app.UseOpenIdConnectAuthentication(new OpenIdConnectAuthenticationOptions()
{
ClientId = AppVar.ClientId,
ClientSecret = AppVar.ClientSecret,
Authority = AppVar.AzureADAuthority,
RedirectUri = "https://localhost:44326/",
ResponseType = "code id_token",
Notifications = new OpenIdConnectAuthenticationNotifications()
{
AuthorizationCodeReceived = (context) => {
var code = context.Code;
ClientCredential credential = new ClientCredential(AppVar.ClientId, AppVar.ClientSecret);
string tenantID = context.AuthenticationTicket.Identity.FindFirst("http://schemas.microsoft.com/identity/claims/tenantid").Value;
string signedInUserID = context.AuthenticationTicket.Identity.FindFirst(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier).Value;
ADALTokenCache cache = new ADALTokenCache(signedInUserID);
AuthenticationContext authContext = new AuthenticationContext(string.Format("https://login.windows.net/{0}", tenantID), cache);
AuthenticationResult result = authContext.AcquireTokenByAuthorizationCode(
code, new Uri(HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Path)), credential, AppVar.AzureResource);
return Task.FromResult(0);
}
}
});
To acquire an access token for https://graph.microsoft.com
public ActionResult Index()
{
string usrObjectId = ClaimsPrincipal.Current.FindFirst(AppVar.ClaimTypeObjectIdentifier).Value;
AuthenticationContext authContext = new AuthenticationContext(AppVar.AzureADAuthority, new ADALTokenCache(usrObjectId));
ClientCredential credential = new ClientCredential(AppVar.ClientId, AppVar.ClientSecret);
AuthenticationResult res = authContext.AcquireToken(AppVar.AzureResource, credential);
var client = new RestClient("https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/?$select=userPrincipalName,displayName,mobilePhone");
var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);
request.AddHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + res.AccessToken);
IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
return View();
}
But when I execute the request, I get:
{
"error": {
"code": "InvalidAuthenticationToken",
"message": "Access token validation failure.",
"innerError": {
"request-id": "1cc9e532-bd31-4ca5-8f1d-2d0796883c2e",
"date": "2018-10-17T06:50:35"
}
}
}
What am I doing wrong?
I had the same issue. Use following code which I have used to get the Access Token from Azure AD. Just Login to your Azure portal and find your Tenant ID and Client ID and paste it to the following code. It works perfectly for me.
namespace TokenGenerator
{
class Program
{
private static string token = string.Empty;
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Get an authentication access token
token = GetToken();
}
#region Get an authentication access token
private static string GetToken()
{
// TODO: Install-Package Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory -Version 2.21.301221612
// and add using Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory
//The client id that Azure AD created when you registered your client app.
string clientID = "Your client ID";
string AuthEndPoint = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/{0}/oauth2/token";
string TenantId = "Your Tenant ID";
//RedirectUri you used when you register your app.
//For a client app, a redirect uri gives Azure AD more details on the application that it will authenticate.
// You can use this redirect uri for your client app
string redirectUri = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/nativeclient";
//Resource Uri for Power BI API
string resourceUri = "https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api";
//Get access token:
// To call a Power BI REST operation, create an instance of AuthenticationContext and call AcquireToken
// AuthenticationContext is part of the Active Directory Authentication Library NuGet package
// To install the Active Directory Authentication Library NuGet package in Visual Studio,
// run "Install-Package Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory" from the nuget Package Manager Console.
// AcquireToken will acquire an Azure access token
// Call AcquireToken to get an Azure token from Azure Active Directory token issuance endpoint
string authority = string.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, AuthEndPoint, TenantId);
AuthenticationContext authContext = new AuthenticationContext(authority);
string token = authContext.AcquireTokenAsync(resourceUri, clientID, new Uri(redirectUri), new PlatformParameters(PromptBehavior.Auto)).Result.AccessToken;
Console.WriteLine(token);
Console.ReadLine();
return token;
}
#endregion
}
}
Looking at your error, since it's failing at token validation my guess would be that it's related to audience for which the token was acquired.
You're calling the https://graph.microsoft.com endpoint, so make sure that is the exact value for the resource.
Specifically in this code, make sure AppVar.AzureResource gets a value https://graph.microsoft.com
AuthenticationResult res = authContext.AcquireToken(AppVar.AzureResource, credential);
var client = new RestClient("https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/?$select=userPrincipalName,displayName,mobilePhone");
var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);
Hello I have developed a Microsoft application using Microsoft Graph API in order to obtain planner data and store it in a database for now. On it's own the application works fine without any issue what so ever.
The next task for me is to integrate this separate application into the main company application. The main company's website uses form authentication. What is the best way to integrate this. Currently when I try to login to get authorized I am redirected to the form login not the Microsoft one
I have registered the application in the Microsoft application registration pool. I have also added the office 365 api
This is the token obtain code that i am using
public async Task<string> GetUserAccessTokenAsync()
{
string signedInUserID = ClaimsPrincipal.Current.FindFirst(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier).Value;
tokenCache = new SessionTokenCache(
signedInUserID,
HttpContext.Current.GetOwinContext().Environment["System.Web.HttpContextBase"] as HttpContextBase);
//var cachedItems = tokenCache.ReadItems(appId); // see what's in the cache
ConfidentialClientApplication cca = new ConfidentialClientApplication(
appId,
redirectUri,
new ClientCredential(appSecret),
tokenCache);
try
{
AuthenticationResult result = await cca.AcquireTokenSilentAsync(scopes.Split(new char[] { ' ' }));
return result.Token;
}
// Unable to retrieve the access token silently.
catch (MsalSilentTokenAcquisitionException)
{
HttpContext.Current.Request.GetOwinContext().Authentication.Challenge(
new AuthenticationProperties() { RedirectUri = "/" },
OpenIdConnectAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationType);
throw new Exception(Resource.Error_AuthChallengeNeeded);
}
}
This is the sign in method I am trying use when trying to directly log in
// Signal OWIN to send an authorization request to Azure.
HttpContext.GetOwinContext().Authentication.Challenge(
new AuthenticationProperties { RedirectUri = "/" },
OpenIdConnectAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationType);
I have solved this issue by implementing the following code
public ActionResult SignIn()
{
var authContext = new AuthenticationContext("https://login.microsoftonline.com/common");
string redirectUri = Url.Action("Authorize", "Planner", null, Request.Url.Scheme);
Uri authUri = authContext.GetAuthorizationRequestURL("https://graph.microsoft.com/", SettingsHelper.ClientId,
new Uri(redirectUri), UserIdentifier.AnyUser, null);
// Redirect the browser to the Azure signin page
return Redirect(authUri.ToString());
}
public async Task<ActionResult> Authorize()
{
// Get the 'code' parameter from the Azure redirect
string authCode = Request.Params["code"];
AuthenticationContext authContext = new AuthenticationContext(SettingsHelper.AzureADAuthority);
// The same url we specified in the auth code request
string redirectUri = Url.Action("Authorize", "Planner", null, Request.Url.Scheme);
// Use client ID and secret to establish app identity
ClientCredential credential = new ClientCredential(SettingsHelper.ClientId, SettingsHelper.ClientSecret);
try
{
// Get the token
var authResult = await authContext.AcquireTokenByAuthorizationCodeAsync(
authCode, new Uri(redirectUri), credential, SettingsHelper.O365UnifiedResource);
// Save the token in the session
Session["access_token"] = authResult.AccessToken;
return Redirect(Url.Action("Index", "Planner", null, Request.Url.Scheme));
}
catch (AdalException ex)
{
return Content(string.Format("ERROR retrieving token: {0}", ex.Message));
}
}
