In my previous article , I showed you how to modify our great Graph Client for Java sample to add some additional options for things like filtering, setting the max retries for 429 errors, etc. That sample uses the Oauth2 Device Code flow. In this article, I will show you how to convert that and use the Client Credentials Flow. Although, you will not be able to retrieve the same…
Read MoreConfiguring Options and MaxRetries for Graph Java Client
We have a great Java Graph SDK sample in our tutorial document located here. Pay special attention to the versions as not having the correct version of the prerequisites will give you difficulty! The sample will run a console application and uses the Oauth2 Device Code flow for authentication. Once it compiles and runs, you will get a message like this for the device code flow sign in: “To sign…
Read MoreGraph Client Authentication Provider
The Graph Client Authentication Providers allows for each authentication to the graph endpoint implementing a variety of OAUTH2 flows. I will demonstrate the use of this library in c# code based on this GitHub. Previously, you had to build your own Authentication Provider ( see my creation of the client credentials provider in a vb.net application here ) . This library will allow you to use the following flows: Confidential…
Read MoreUsing the GraphClient SDK in a VB.Net Console Application
In this blog post, I will show you how to use the GraphClient in a VB.Net application. You will need to create an app registration for this project. I used the exact same app registration that I used in my previous VB.Net blog post here. SDK Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/sdks/sdks-overview?view=graph-rest-1.0 I am using Visual Studio 2019 in this example. To begin, please start a VB.Net Console application and then install the following…
Read MoreVB.NET – Use MSAL.Net in a Console Application to Authenticate to Azure
At one point in recent history, VB.Net was one of the most popular development languages around. In fact, there are many legacy applications written in VB.Net and even still, VB.Net is still in the top 10 languages ( source: https://www.techworm.net/2018/02/popular-programming-languages-2018-according-tiobe-pypl.html ). I will show a simple console application using VB.Net to authenticate using MSAL.Net Of course, the first step, as in everything Azure, starts with setting up an app registration…
Read MoreSetup Postman to call Microsoft Graph using a Client Credentials Grant Access Token from the v2 endpoint
To use the V1 endpoint, please refer to this post. Our documentation for the client credentials grant type can be found here. You can setup postman to make a client_credentials grant flow to obtain an access token and make a graph call ( or any other call that supports application permissions ). This is very useful for testing code you plan to run as a script or in a Daemon…
Read MoreHow to set your MSAL.js app up to automatically sign-in if you already have a session signed in on another tab
Our MSAL.js sample is an excellent example for using MSAL in a javascript page. However, it only demonstrates logging in by clicking on a button. If you’re launching your app from myapps portal or are otherwise already logged into the portal with the browser, it would make sense to just use that session to perform your sign-in for your MSAL app without requiring the button click. This is actually easily…
