How to get a refresh token from Oauth2 login?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 25

I'm successfully using the Dynamics Business Central APIs to create and update content but my issue is that when I authorize my app using Oauth2 I'm not getting a refresh token to renew my access token. Given that the access token has a relatively short life it's somewhat cumbersome to have to keep logging in.


This is the url I'm using to get the code:-

    login.microsoftonline.com/.../authorize


And then this URL to exchange the code for an access token


    login.microsoftonline.com/.../token


And this is the result that I get which as you can see has no refresh token


{"token_type":"Bearer",
"scope":"api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/Financials.ReadWrite.All api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/SmartListDesigner.ReadWrite.All api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/user_impersonation ">api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/.default",
"expires_in":3599,
"ext_expires_in":3599,
"access_token":"12232 ..blah..blah...d3s"}

Is there a way to make the authorization process provide a refresh token so that my users don't have to keep logging in?

    Hello,

    You may want to have a look here:

    github.com/.../52896

    Apart from that, we currently do not have dedicated Dev support via the Dynamics 365 Business Central forums, but I wanted to provide you some additional resources to assist.  If you need assistance with debugging or coding I would recommend discussing this on one of our communities.

    dynamicsuser.net/.../developers

    I will open this up to the community in case they have something to add.

    Thanks.
