I am getting an issue when creating subscription.
My steps are:
Register app at https://apps.dev.microsoft.com
Update permissions
Read Mail and User's info
Then update code, do same steps at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/rest/dotnet-tutorial
After login, I can get access token
Screen after login
Then I try to create a subscription for Inbox
var newSub = new Subscription
{
Resource = "me/mailFolders{'Inbox'}/messages",
ChangeType = "created,updated",
NotificationUrl = notificationUrl,
ClientState = clientState,
ExpirationDateTime = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(15)
};
var result = await graphClient.Subscriptions.Request().AddAsync(newSub);
Implement for notification in notification URL - I can get validation token and return in plain text.
public async Task<ActionResult> Listen()
{
if (Request.QueryString["validationToken"] != null)
{
var token = Request.QueryString["validationToken"];
return Content(token, "plain/text");
}
}
But I always get this error.
Is there anyone know problem?
You must expose a public HTTPS endpoint to create a subscription and receive notifications from Microsoft Graph.
I am developing an App in Xamarin Android, for notifications I am using FCM the Pre-Release package: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Xamarin.Firebase.Messaging/
Now everything works fine if I clean the App data, the OnTokenRefresh event is fired and a new token is generated - when I send a new notification on this Token the notification is sent and received by the device in OnMessageReceived() -
The problem is when I make changes to the code and run the application again, if I use the old token I get the NotRegistered Error when sending a notification, but if I go and clean the App Data, then the OnTokenRefresh() is fired a new token is generated - the new token works.
Similar issue here, but this is GCM (I am using FCM):

How do I force refresh the FCM Token in DEBUG mode so I don't have to delete the App Data every time I run the application?
As this issue only happens when running the Application from Visual Studio while debugging the application (not in the version deployed to PlayStore), what I did to solve the issue temporarily is I created the following service:
[Service]
public class FCMRegistrationService : IntentService
{
private const string Tag = "FCMRegistrationService";
static object locker = new object();
protected override void OnHandleIntent(Intent intent)
{
try
{
lock (locker)
{
var instanceId = FirebaseInstanceId.Instance;
var token = instanceId.Token;
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(token))
return;
#if DEBUG
instanceId.DeleteToken(token, "");
instanceId.DeleteInstanceId();
#endif
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Log.Debug(Tag, e.Message);
}
}
}
then in my launch Activity (the activity that loads whenever the Application is opened is do the following:
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
#if DEBUG
if (!IsMyServiceRunning("FCMRegistrationService"))
{
var intent = new Intent(this, typeof(FCMRegistrationService));
StartService(intent);
}
// For debug mode only - will accept the HTTPS certificate of Test/Dev server, as the HTTPS certificate is invalid /not trusted
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback += (o, certificate, chain, errors) => true;
#endif
}
This will unregister your existing FCMToken and will refresh the Token, so the OnTokenRefresh method will be called, then you will have to write some logic to update the FCMToken on the server.
[Service, IntentFilter(new[] { "com.google.firebase.INSTANCE_ID_EVENT" })]
public class FCMInstanceIdService : FirebaseInstanceIdService
{
// private string LogTag = "FCMInstanceIdService";
public override void OnTokenRefresh()
{
var fcmDeviceId = FirebaseInstanceId.Instance.Token;
// Settings (is Shared Preferences) - I save the FCMToken Id in shared preferences
// if FCMTokenId is not the same as old Token then update on the server
if (Settings.FcmTokenId != fcmDeviceId)
{
var oldFcmId = Settings.FcmTokenId;
var validationContainer = new ValidationContainer();
// HERE UPDATE THE TOKEN ON THE SERVER
TBApp.Current._usersProvider.UpdateFcmTokenOnServer(oldFcmId, fcmDeviceId, validationContainer);
Settings.FcmTokenId = fcmDeviceId;
}
base.OnTokenRefresh();
}
}
i'm manualy trying to initialize like this
var options = new FirebaseOptions.Builder()
.SetApplicationId("YOURAPPID")
.SetApiKey("YOURAPIKEY")
//.SetDatabaseUrl(Keys.Firebase.Database_Url) //i'M not using it
.SetGcmSenderId("YOURSENDERID")
//.SetStorageBucket(Keys.Firebase.StorageBucket)//i'M not using it
.Build();
try
{ //try to initilize firebase app to get token
FirebaseApp.InitializeApp(Forms.Context, options);//initializeto get token
}
catch
{ //if app already initialized it will throw exception, so get the previous active token and send to your server-database etc
var instanceId = FirebaseInstanceId.Instance;
var token = instanceId.Token;
Service.MyFirebaseMessagingService.RegisterForAndroid(token); //this method sends the token to my server app, you have to write your own
}
So when user opens the app, I'm trying to reinitialize the Firebase app. If it is already initalized it will throw an exception :) I'm taking the token there so it gives me the active registered token. If app is not initialized everything will work on smoothly and so your OnTokenRefresh method will be fired as expected. Hope this helps you.
How can I log onto Microsoft Live (with .NET WebClient?) and automate the OAuth process to get a token to make Bing Ads API calls?
My question is similar to How do I get an OAuth request_token from live.com?. However, I am building (C#, .NET 4.5.2) a headless Windows Service using the context of a Bing Ads super admin account that is linked to multiple other Bing Ads accounts. The idea is to authenticate, get the auth bits, and then make calls using the bits at 3:00am. Some of the accounts "compete" so for example group A should not see data from group B, so having an application get data for everyone and filter it and distribute it overnight solves many business problems.
I am concerned that if Live experiences problems, or our application is down for an extended time for any reason, we will have to re-authenticate manually to get data again. Maintenance and management of the credentials is now additional overhead (this is for an enterprise environment) that will have to take the form of an intranet web site/page to allow junior/uninitiated folks to do the work if needed (lets not forget testing and documentation). To contrast, Google provides an option to use key pairs for groups that need to work in a fully automated manner. It appears that Twitter's OAuth2 implementation can be automated without a GUI logon. It appears that other Bing services (eg Translation) can also be automated with WebClient.
I have the Microsoft account name and password already, and have a callback URL of "local-mydomain.com" set in the Bing Ads app GUI (and have a HOSTS entry for local-mydomain.com).
The Microsoft sample appears to work, but it automates the MS Web Browser Control, expects a user to input credentials in the GUI, and then the token is given. Giving the super admin account to users to do this is not an option. Expecting a user to get up at 3:00am to authenticate to upload/download data is not an option. Expecting a user to get desktop access to a server in the farm to "run something" is not an option.
All OAuth ideas appreciated.
Thanks.

Whatever you do, the "super admin" will have to log on at least once, using a browser. You can do that by hosting a simple web page in your service, or you could do it as part of the setup process. The Live samples show you how to do that.
Once the "super admin" has logged on using the code grant, you receive an access token and a refresh token. I'm not sure how long the Live access token is valid, but it is probably log enough for one nightly run. Save the refresh token in a safe place. The following night, you start by exchanging that refresh token by a new access token and a new refresh token. Again, you save this new refresh token for the following night.
You can keep this process running forever, as long as the "super admin" does not revoke the authorization he gave to your app.
UPDATE:
Some OAuth 2.0 servers support the "Resource Owner Password Credentials Grant", see the RFC at https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6749. If the Live server supports that, it would be an alternative to the Code Grant that does not require a browser. However, even of the server supports it, I would recommend against it for security reasons, as it requires storing your "super admin" password on the server. If someone grabs the password, they have full access to the account, and all resources protected by it. It will also break down if you change the password. The code grant does not have these problems.
Your question states that you want or need to run as this "super admin". An other option might be to use the "Client Credentials Grant". However, this also requires a client secret to be stored on the server (as with the password credentials grant). Furthermore, it still requires the super admin to authorize the client, and that in itself requires a code grant using a browser.
You ask why the code grant requires a browser, why you can not use some kind of screen scraping to simulate a browser interaction. First of all, you cannot predict the screens that will be shown to the user. These screens change without notice. More importantly, depending on user options and history, the server shows different screens. For example, the user may have turned on two-factor authentication. Last but not least, why do you object to opening a browser? It will probably be easier than trying to emulate it.
Finally, these "super admin" users might object to giving their password to your application, as they don't really know what you are doing with it (you might be sending to a server of your own, as far as they know). Using the Code Grant with a browser, they know your application never gets to see their password (kind of - you could listen in on browser events or something, unless the browser control is run in a separate process not under your control, such as the Windows 8 WebAuthenticationBroker). Your application only gets a token with the scopes they authorize.
After spending a few hours on this problem for myself and finding absolutely no solution to automate connecting to Bing from a service. Here is what will work using the wonderful WatiN
First grab WatiN and add it to your solution via Nuget.
Then use the following code (my example works in a console application as an Example) to automate the whole grabbing of a token from Microsoft. It's not perfect as this is a sample but it will work.
You should double check the element ID's I'm using in case they changed, they are hard coded - generally remove all the hard coding if your going to use this in a production environment.
I didn't want anyone else to have to go through this.
First it grabs a Code that is then used to grab a Token, just like the OAuth 2.0 specification requires.

I am developing a WPF application that needs post on wall of a facebook's Page, and this without login window.
Well, I want to get access token for my facebook page, and this is my code.
var fb = new FacebookClient();
string token = "";
dynamic accounts = fb.Get("/"<USER_ID>"/accounts");
foreach (dynamic account in accounts)
{
if (account.id == <PAGE_ID>)
{
token = account.access_token;
break;
}
}
But I receive a error #104. It is a simple error, that I need a access token to do this operation.
Then I use other code to get the user access token
var fb = new FacebookClient();
dynamic result = fb.Get("oauth/access_token", new
{
client_id = <PAGE_ID>,
client_secret = <APP_SECRET>,
grant_type = "fb_exchange_token",
fb_exchange_token = <USER_TOKEN>
});
But I get error #101:
"Error validating application. Cannot get application info due to a system error."
Someone knows what I have to do?
Thanks!!!
I'm not sure if you've been able to get a never expiring token for the page, so I'll explain you the steps:
Open Graph API Explorer
Select your app from the drop-down
Click "Get Access Token" button, and select the manage_pages permission.
Copy the token and run this in the browser:
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?grant_type=fb_exchange_token&client_id={app-id}&client_secret={app-secret}&fb_exchange_token={step-3-token}
Copy the token from step-4 and paste in to the access_token field and call:
/{page-id}?fields=access_token
The token you get now is a never-expiring token, you can validate the same in Debugger .Use this in your app.
But beware, its not recommended to use this token on client side if your app is public.
If you use the fb_exchange_token call, it will give you a token that expires after 60 days. In order to make it work correctly, I had to go through the login web flow to guarantee I got an up-to-date page access token.
Go to the Facebook App dashboard
If you haven't already added the Facebook Login product, click "+ Add Product" and select Facebook Login
Enable the "embedded browser control" option and enter https://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html as the allowed redirect URL.
Make a Window with a WebView control on it. The WebBrowser control no longer works; the browser engine powering it is too old.
Add code to listen for the navigation to the success URL:
this.webView.NavigationCompleted += (sender, args) =>
{
if (args.Uri.AbsolutePath == "/connect/login_success.html")
{
if (args.Uri.Query.Contains("error"))
{
MessageBox.Show("Error logging in.");
}
else
{
string fragment = args.Uri.Fragment;
var collection = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(fragment.Substring(1));
string token = collection["access_token"];
// Save the token somewhere to give back to your code
}
this.Close();
}
};
Add code to navigate to the facebook login URL:
string returnUrl = WebUtility.UrlEncode("https://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html");
this.webView.Source = new Uri($"https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id={appId}&redirect_uri={returnUrl}&response_type=token%2Cgranted_scopes&scope=manage_pages&display=popup");
Call window.ShowDialog() to pop up the login window, then grab the user access token.
Create some models to help you out:
public class AccountsResult
{
public List<Account> data { get; set; }
}
public class Account
{
public string access_token { get; set; }
public string id { get; set; }
}
Using the user access token, get the page access token:
FacebookClient userFacebookClient = new FacebookClient(userAccessToken);
var accountsResult = await userFacebookClient.GetTaskAsync<AccountsResult>("/me/accounts");
string pageAccessToken = accountsResult.data.FirstOrDefault(account => account.id == PageId)?.access_token;
if (pageAccessToken == null)
{
MessageBox.Show("Could not find page under user accounts.");
}
else
{
FacebookClient pageFacebookClient = new FacebookClient(pageAccessToken);
// Use pageFacebookClient here
}
I have a button that users can click to bid on something. Each bid, broadcasts the latest bid to every other client. That's the reason why I'm using SignalR.
Now, the user needs to have active credits, and if he doesn't have credits I want to redirect him somewhere.
The more obvious approach fails me, so any suggestion is welcome.
//Does the user have credits to spend?
if (user.LanceCreditBalance >= 1)
{
//populate the "ar" object and send it out to everybody.
var result = Json.Encode(ar);
Clients.addMessage(result);
}
else
{
//And this isn't working as expected. Doesn't redirect
//And causes a 302 error when viewing the Firebug console in Firefox.
HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect(#"http://www.google.com");
}
The above code is all within the Chat class which inherits from the SignalR.Hub class.
Server:
if(user.LanceCreditBalance >= 1)
{
var result = Json.Encode(ar);
// send Message to all clients
Clients.addMessage(result);
}
else
{
// Invoke a js-Function only on the current client
Caller.redirectMe("http://www.google.com");
}
Client:
$(function () {
var chat = $.connection.chat;
chat.addMessage = function(message) {
// do something
};
// function the server can invoke
chat.redirectMe = function(target) {
window.location = target;
};
$.connection.hub.start();
