Testing WebAPI via RedirectURL

Posted on by akselsoft

Hi,

I'm developing a web service that will connect to my Dynamics 365 instance. I've set up localhost as a valid web redirect URI, yet when I call my web service, I am still getting

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 52.xxx.xxx.xx:443

Am I missing something obvious or do I need to publish this onto a server instead of localhost - despite what the docs say.

Specifically, I believe I'm referring to the Azure AD redirect but so that it works with the Dynamics CRM.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/reply-url

I want a separate Web service to communicate with my Dynamics 365 instance.

TIA

Any luck? Or can I give you anything further?

This is a screen shot of the AD page where our admins have added localhost for testing purposes.

RE: Testing WebAPI via RedirectURL

I've done it two ways but the most recent version looks like this:

Get Token Code

var formContent = new FormUrlEncodedContent(new[]
{
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("resource", Resource),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("client_id", ClientId),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("client_secret", ClientSecret),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("grant_type", "client_credentials")
});

HttpResponseMessage response = await httpClient.PostAsync(Authority, formContent);

return !response.IsSuccessStatusCode ? null
: response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;

Web Service Call

using (HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient())
{
httpClient.BaseAddress = new Uri(Resource);
httpClient.Timeout = new TimeSpan(0, 2, 0);
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("OData-MaxVersion", "4.0");
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("OData-Version", "4.0");
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(
new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization =
new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", _accessToken);

//Retrieve
HttpResponseMessage retrieveResponse =
await httpClient.GetAsync($"api/data/v8.2/entityName?$select=fieldName&$filter=contains(fieldName,'{sParameter}')");
if (retrieveResponse.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
JObject jRetrieveResponse =
JObject.Parse(retrieveResponse.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result);
JObject row = (JObject)JArray.Parse(jRetrieveResponse["value"].ToString())[0];

string sGuid = row["core_fc_profileid"].ToString();
sURL = string.Format("{0}/main.aspx?etn={1}&pagetype=entityrecord&id=%7B{2}%7D",
"CRM URL", "core_fc_profile", sGuid);
}
else
{
var result = await retrieveResponse.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
}

return sURL;
}

The original code was more like:

DataCollection<Entity> retrievedFile =
CRMCommonTools.OrgConnection.RetrieveMultiple(queryQueuePrivileges).Entities;
if (retrievedFile.Count == 1)
{
sCaseFileID = retrievedFile[0].Id.ToString();
return sCaseFileID;
}
else
throw new Exception(String.Format("Cannot find unique File for ID = {0}", sCaseFileName));

}

All of them cause the same problem but all WORK when called from a Windows/desktop app.

Hi akselsoft,

Could you provide the code you used?
