How to receive the correct access token?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

Im developing a React Expo app where im trying to access a BC page i've created.

Im able to get access to the page in Postman, but i'm unable to get access in my Expo app.

Here is my code:

    async function fetchToken(tenantId, clientId, clientSecret) {
        let token;

        try {
            const response = await fetch(`login.microsoftonline.com/${tenantId}/oauth2/token`, {
                method: "POST",
                headers: {
                    "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
                },
                body:
                    "grant_type=client_credentials" +
                    "&scope=">api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/.default" +
                    "&client_id=" + clientId + "&client_secret=" + clientSecret,
            });

            if (!response.ok) {
                throw new Error(`Failed to fetch token: ${response.statusText}`);
            }

            token = await response.json();
            console.log(token);
        } catch (error) {
            console.error(error);
        }

        return token;
    }

TLDR:

I get the wrong access token, can you help me get the correct one?

    Not sure if this guide will help, but it may relate?

    Please use below syntax for your Body part

    grant_type=client_credentials

    &client_id=413ac35b-e0b6XXXXXXXXXXXXX-72f94d476bf8

    &scope=api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/.default

    &client_secret=9w38Q~PJoLaAsL.ObXXXXXXXXXXXLqIRpGAAb95blu

    header part

    Content-Type - application/x-www-form-urlencoded

    Also Create an entry in Azure Active directory application page in BC and enabled with your custom app.

    Thanks.

    Do you mean like this?

    const response = await fetch(`login.microsoftonline.com/.../token`, {

                   method: "POST",

                   headers: {

                       "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",

                   },

                   body:

                       "grant_type=client_credentials" +

                       "&client_id=xxxxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" +

                       "&scope=api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/.default" +

                       "&client_secret=xxxxx~xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx~xxxxxxxxxxxxx"

               });

    Because that didn't change anything

    Have you added in Azure active directly in BC?

    Also please refer the below link for app registration in Azure.

    I followed you video and got a successful response from Postman, but somehow I still can't get it to work in my app. Using https://jwt.io I can see that the access token from Postman gives access to my tenant, but the access token from my app gives me access to Microsoft Graph.

    This is the response I get in the terminal:

    <error xmlns="docs.oasis-open.org/.../code><message>The credentials provided are incorrect</message></error>
