I have used the Nuget package & version as Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory (v. 5.2.7 - latest stable). It gives the error The type or namespace name "UserpasswordCredential" could not be found.
Any help on this much appreciated.
Thanks,
Raghavendra
Hello Saurabh,
Thanks for your inputs. Unfortunately, it is not working. Also have used MSAL.Net (followed blog https://msftblog.com/using-msal-net-with-dynamics-365-webapi-in-dotnet-core/) which is returning the access token & when I give a call to products API I see below message & cannot move ahead.
Failed to call the Web API: Forbidden
Content: {"error":{"code": "0x80072560", "message": "The user is not a member of the organization."}}
However, if I login to dynamics 365 crm & copy the URL (https://{Company}.api.crm8.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.1/products) in the browser I am able to get the response.
Just a background:
Have Azure active subscription & Dynamics 365 30 day trial.
Thanks & Regards,
Raghavendra Habbu
Hey Raghavendra,
It appears that using UserPasswordCredential in .NET core is not recommended/supported currently because of the security risks it imposes as a result of storing the credentials within plain text.
When you have a process running with no user interaction whatsoever, you should refer to the "Application Identity with OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials Grant" case of the "Daemon or Server Application to Web API" scenario. The following ADAL constructs will obtain an access token based on the app's identity only, and authenticate with either a client secret, a client assertion (i.e. a signed JWT token), or a client certificate (which will be used to create a signed JWT token). The resulting access token will not identify a user, and is only suitable when the token is for apps/APIs that have defined app-only permissions:
