AuthAzureAD C# WinRT Reference Documentation

AuthAzureAD

Current Version: 9.5.0.90

Provides functionality for obtaining an Azure AD access token via OAuth2 for Service to Service Calls Using Client Credentials. (See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn645543.aspx)

Object Creation

Chilkat.AuthAzureAD obj = new Chilkat.AuthAzureAD();

Properties

AccessToken
public string AccessToken {get; set; }
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

The access token to be used in Azure AD REST API requests. This property is set on a successful call to ObtainAccessToken.

More Information and Examples
top
ClientId
public string ClientId {get; set; }
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

Specifies the Azure AD client id of the calling web service. To find the calling application's client ID, in the Azure Management Portal, click Active Directory, click the directory, click the application, and then click Configure.

top
ClientSecret
public string ClientSecret {get; set; }
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

A key registered for the calling web service in Azure AD. To create a key, in the Azure Management Portal, click Active Directory, click the directory, click the application, and then click Configure.

top
DebugLogFilePath
public string DebugLogFilePath {get; set; }

If set to a file path, causes each Chilkat method or property call to automatically append it's LastErrorText to the specified log file. The information is appended such that if a hang or crash occurs, it is possible to see the context in which the problem occurred, as well as a history of all Chilkat calls up to the point of the problem. The VerboseLogging property can be set to provide more detailed information.

This property is typically used for debugging the rare cases where a Chilkat method call hangs or generates an exception that halts program execution (i.e. crashes). A hang or crash should generally never happen. The typical causes of a hang are:

  1. a timeout related property was set to 0 to explicitly indicate that an infinite timeout is desired,
  2. the hang is actually a hang within an event callback (i.e. it is a hang within the application code), or
  3. there is an internal problem (bug) in the Chilkat code that causes the hang.

top
LastErrorHtml
public string LastErrorHtml {get; }

Provides information in HTML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

top
LastErrorText
public string LastErrorText {get; }

Provides information in plain-text format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

top
LastErrorXml
public string LastErrorXml {get; }

Provides information in XML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

top
LastMethodSuccess
public bool LastMethodSuccess {get; set; }
Introduced in version 9.5.0.52

Indicate whether the last method call succeeded or failed. A value of true indicates success, a value of false indicates failure. This property is automatically set for method calls. It is not modified by property accesses. The property is automatically set to indicate success for the following types of method calls:

  • Any method that returns a string.
  • Any method returning a Chilkat object, binary bytes, or a date/time.
  • Any method returning a standard boolean status value where success = true and failure = false.
  • Any method returning an integer where failure is defined by a return value less than zero.

Note: Methods that do not fit the above requirements will always set this property equal to true. For example, a method that returns no value (such as a "void" in C++) will technically always succeed.

top
NumSecondsRemaining
public int NumSecondsRemaining {get; }
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

If the access token is valid, contains the number of seconds remaining until it expires. A value of 0 indicates an invalid or expired access token.

top
Resource
public string Resource {get; set; }
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

The App ID URI of the receiving web service. To find the App ID URI, in the Azure Management Portal, click Active Directory, click the directory, click the application, and then click Configure.

top
TenantId
public string TenantId {get; set; }
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

Your Azure account tenant ID. (If you don't know what it is, Google "how to find my azure tenant id" for help.)

top
Valid
public bool Valid {get; }
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

true if the AccessToken property contains a valid non-expired access token obtained via the call to ObtainAccessToken.

top
VerboseLogging
public bool VerboseLogging {get; set; }

If set to true, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is false. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.

top
Version
public string Version {get; }

Version of the component/library, such as "9.5.0.63"

top

Methods

ObtainAccessToken
(awaitable) public IAsyncOperation<bool> ObtainAccessTokenAsyncAsync(Socket connection);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

Sends the HTTP request to fetch the access token. When this method completes successfully, the access token is available in the AccessToken property. The connection is an existing connection to login.microsoftonline.com.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

Events

Callbacks from asynchronous methods occur in a background thread. However, controls on the UI thread may only be accessed from the UI thread.Therefore, UI updates must be dispatched to the UI thread. One way to do this is as follows:

    public sealed partial class MainPage : Page
    {
        private Windows.UI.Core.CoreDispatcher m_dispatcher = null;

        public MainPage()
        {
            this.InitializeComponent();
            m_dispatcher = Windows.UI.Core.CoreWindow.GetForCurrentThread().Dispatcher;
        }


        async private void Http_ProgressInfo(object sender, Chilkat.ProgressInfoEventArgs eventArgs)
        {
            await m_dispatcher.RunAsync(Windows.UI.Core.CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>
            {
                // Application code to update the UI goes here...
            });
        }

    }
