ReportHello all I am trying to create a native C# application (using the WebAPI) that has been registered with Azure AD. This application will need to create specific entities in the crm but that is almost irrelevant for my question.
I tried using the example the MSDN provided and while it does not throw any run time exceptions, the following message shows:
Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory Error: 4 : 07/06/2018 15:39:31: - AuthenticationParameters: System.ArgumentException: Unauthorized Http Status Code (401) was expected in the response Parameter name: response
While checking the request/response with fiddler I noticed that everything is sent over http and that the response is 502 - bad gateway. Putting this in here in case it helps.
I went back onto MSDN to check what this error code means and I got the following from this webpage: docs.microsoft.com/.../compose-http-requests-handle-errors
| 401 Unauthorized | Expect this for the following types of errors: - BadAuthTicket - ExpiredAuthTicket - InsufficientAuthTicket - InvalidAuthTicket - InvalidUserAuth - MissingCrmAuthenticationToken - MissingCrmAuthenticationTokenOrganizationName - RequestIsNotAuthenticated - TamperedAuthTicket - UnauthorizedAccess - UnManagedInvalidSecurityPrincipal |
The error *SEEMS* to be bad token, but I might be wrong as I am just a beginner in this sphere for now.
Below is the code inside the main .cs file
using System;
using Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Samples.HelperCode;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Net.Http.Headers;
namespace Test
{
class Program
{
private HttpClient httpClient;
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Program app = new Program();
try
{
app.ConnectToCRM(args);
}
catch (System.Exception ex)
{
DisplayException(ex);
}
finally
{
if (app.httpClient != null)
{ app.httpClient.Dispose(); }
Console.WriteLine("Press <Enter> to exit the program.");
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
private void ConnectToCRM(String[] cmdargs)
{
Configuration config = null;
if (cmdargs.Length > 0)
config = new FileConfiguration(cmdargs[0]);
else
config = new FileConfiguration("default");
Authentication auth = new Authentication(config);
httpClient = new HttpClient(auth.ClientHandler, true);
httpClient.BaseAddress = new Uri(config.ServiceUrl + "api/data/v9.0/");
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"));
}
private static void DisplayException(Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("The application terminated with an error.");
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
while (ex.InnerException != null)
{
Console.WriteLine("\t* {0}", ex.InnerException.Message);
ex = ex.InnerException;
}
}
}
}
And here is the config file used to make a connection:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5.2" />
</startup>
<connectionStrings>
<clear />
<!-- When providing a password, make sure to set the app.config file's security so that only you can read it. -->
<add name="default" connectionString="Url=https://<tenant>.api.crm11.dynamics.com; Username=user; Password=pass" />
</connectionStrings>
<appSettings>
<!--For information on how to register an app and obtain the ClientId and RedirectUrl
values see msdn.microsoft.com/.../mt149065 -->
<!--Active Directory application registration. -->
<!--These are dummy values and should be replaced with your actual app registration values.-->
<add key="ClientId" value="xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" />
<add key="RedirectUrl" value="https://<tenant>.crm11.dynamics.com" />
<!-- Use an alternate configuration file for connection string and setting values. This optional setting
enables use of an app.config file shared among multiple applications. If the specified file does
not exist, this setting is ignored.-->
<add key="AlternateConfig" value="C:\Temp\crmsample.exe.config"/>
</appSettings>
</configuration>
The fields have been filled with placeholder information for obvious reasons :)
Another issue might be that my line manager authorised the app using Azure AD since he has full control and I am trying to authorise the app using my credentials, but I am almost 100% certain this is NOT the case as changing the username and password fields made no difference to what error I was getting.
Could you please let me know what I am missing? I suspect it's something simple, but I have been reading through MSDN docs for the last 2 days and can't seem to sort my problem out.
