How to export azure database to blob storage

I need to know exactly how to login to Azure, using c#.
I basically want to do this, but from the code:
]a link](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sql-database/sql-database-export)
Here is the code I copied from the internet trying to achieve this:
But I don't know how to generate the token.
SqlManagementClient managementClient = new SqlManagementClient(new TokenCloudCredentials(subscriptionId, GetAccessToken(tenantId, clientId, secretKey)));
var exportParams = new DacExportParameters()
{
BlobCredentials = new DacExportParameters.BlobCredentialsParameter()
{
StorageAccessKey = storageKey,
Uri = new Uri(baseStorageUri)
},
ConnectionInfo = new DacExportParameters.ConnectionInfoParameter()
{
ServerName = azureSqlServer,
DatabaseName = azureSqlDatabase,
UserName = adminLogin,
Password = adminPassword
}
};
var exportResult = managementClient.Dac.Export(azureSqlServerName, exportParams);
I have a GetToken function, but I have no idea where to take the
tenant + client id + secret
private static string GetAccessToken(string tenantId, string
clientId, string secretKey)
{
var authenticationContext = new
AuthenticationContext($"https://login.windows.net/{tenantId}");
var credential = new ClientCredential(clientId, secretKey);
var result =authenticationContext
.AcquireTokenAsync("https://management.core.windows.net/",
credential);
if (result == null)
{
throw new InvalidOperationException("Failed to obtain the JWT token");
}
var token = result.Result.AccessToken;
return token;
}
This question was asked before
Azure Database export with C#
but I need to see the actual code and explanation on how to get the connection info.

I need to see the actual code and explanation on how to get the connection info.
I would recommend you follow this tutorial about registering your AAD application and adding the secret key. Moreover, you could also follow Using the Azure ARM REST API – Get Access Token.
SqlManagementClient managementClient = new SqlManagementClient(new TokenCloudCredentials(subscriptionId, GetAccessToken(tenantId, clientId, secretKey)));
Based on your code, I assumed that you are using the package Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Management.Sql, if you use the TokenCloudCredentials, you may receive the following error response:
AFAIK, Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Management.Libraries requires the X509Certificate2 authentication, you need to construct the CertificateCloudCredentials for your SqlManagementClient. For uploading a management certificate under your subscription, you could follow Upload an Azure Service Management Certificate. For retrieving the X509Certificate2 instance, you could follow the code snippet under the Authenticate using a management certificate section from here.
For token-based authentication, you could use the package Microsoft.Azure.Management.Sql and construct your SqlManagementClient as follows:
var sqlManagement = new SqlManagementClient(new TokenCredentials("{access-token}"));
Moreover, you need to change the resource from https://management.core.windows.net/ to https://management.azure.com/ when invoking the AcquireTokenAsync method.

How to get On-Behalf-Of-User token in .NET using ADAL

I have created an Azure AAD app of type webapp which has client secret and redirect url. Now, I want to get an access token on behalf of user using the AAD app. From looking at the documentation, I got the following code so far.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var clientId = "<REDACTED>";
var clientSecret = "<REDACTED>";
var resourceAppIdURI = "https://api.office.com/discovery/";
var authority = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/common";
AuthenticationContext ac = new AuthenticationContext(authority, new FileCache());
ClientCredential cc = new ClientCredential(clientId, clientSecret);
// Get token as application
var task = ac.AcquireTokenAsync(resourceAppIdURI, cc);
task.Wait();
var appToken = task.Result.AccessToken;
// Get tokenn on behalf of user
UserCredential uc = new UserCredential("usrname#mytenant.com");
task = ac.AcquireTokenAsync(resourceAppIdURI, clientId, uc);
var userToken = task.Result.AccessToken;
Console.ReadLine();
}
But this is the error I get when I try to get user token is as follows.
Message "AADSTS70002: The request body must contain the following
parameter: 'client_secret or client_assertion'.\r\nTrace ID:
0e977f67-d5cb-4cf5-8fea-bac04b6d0400\r\nCorrelation ID:
824a96bf-8007-4879-970c-2680644b8669\r\nTimestamp: 2017-07-21
05:02:41Z" string
Why am I getting this error and how to fix it?
Do I need to login with the user first and then use UserAssertion instead ?
There are tonnes of overloaded methods for AcquireTokenAsync method, but not sure what I should use.
I also looked at this github url to see how they are doing it
https://github.com/Azure-Samples/active-directory-dotnet-webapi-onbehalfof/blob/8afb3e6a648d8e7246685bf6747d009006c761b8/TodoListService/Controllers/TodoListController.cs
This is the relevant code to get token as logged in user
ClientCredential clientCred = new ClientCredential(clientId, appKey);
var bootstrapContext = ClaimsPrincipal.Current.Identities.First().BootstrapContext as System.IdentityModel.Tokens.BootstrapContext;
string userName = ClaimsPrincipal.Current.FindFirst(ClaimTypes.Upn) != null ? ClaimsPrincipal.Current.FindFirst(ClaimTypes.Upn).Value : ClaimsPrincipal.Current.FindFirst(ClaimTypes.Email).Value;
string userAccessToken = bootstrapContext.Token;
UserAssertion userAssertion = new UserAssertion(bootstrapContext.Token, "urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer", userName);
string authority = String.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, aadInstance, tenant);
string userId = ClaimsPrincipal.Current.FindFirst(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier).Value;
AuthenticationContext authContext = new AuthenticationContext(authority, new DbTokenCache(userId));
Here they already have a logged in user and creating a UserAssertion from that loggedin user's token. In my console app, the user hasn't logged in yet.
So I need a way to do this in my console app. How can I show the AAD login page to the user as a pop-up and then once the user enters creds use that info to create an UserAssertion object?
thanks

Your scenario is a native application that calls a web API on behalf of a user . The native application could obtains an access token for the user by using the OAuth 2.0 authorization code grant , then access token is then sent in the request to the web API, which authorizes the user and returns the desired resource :
Please read more about the description of protocol flow here .Also see the code samples for Native Application to Web API scenarios.
In addition , you could click here for code sample about how to call the Azure AD Graph API from a native client(.net console application ) ,it uses the Active Directory Authentication Library (ADAL) for authentication .

Azure Data Lake Service-to-service authentication client secret, AdalServiceException and WebException

Tyring to use the below docs to get this up and running for my console app that I plan to port to Azure Functions. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-lake-store/data-lake-store-get-started-net-sdk
The code below is where I'm getting stuck
CODE SNIP
// Service principal / appplication authentication with client secret / key
// Use the client ID of an existing AAD "Web App" application.
SynchronizationContext.SetSynchronizationContext(new SynchronizationContext());
var domain = "<AAD-directory-domain>";
var webApp_clientId = "<AAD-application-clientid>";
var clientSecret = "<AAD-application-client-secret>";
var clientCredential = new ClientCredential(webApp_clientId, clientSecret);
var creds = await ApplicationTokenProvider.LoginSilentAsync(domain, clientCredential);
MY IMPLEMENTATION
SynchronizationContext.SetSynchronizationContext(new SynchronizationContext());
var domain = "https://microsoft.onmicrosoft.com";
var webApp_clientId = "<my-client-id>";
var clientSecret = "<my-client-secret>";
var clientCredential = new ClientCredential(webApp_clientId, clientSecret);
var creds = await ApplicationTokenProvider.LoginSilentAsync(domain, clientCredential);
SynchronizationContext.SetSynchronizationContext(new SynchronizationContext());
_adlsClient = new DataLakeStoreAccountManagementClient(creds) { SubscriptionId = _subId };
_adlsFileSystemClient = new DataLakeStoreFileSystemManagementClient(creds);
await _adlsFileSystemClient.FileSystem.MkdirsAsync("<name-of-my-dlstore>", "tempdir");
I also made sure to give my app permissions to my specified folder in Azure Data Lake instance:
I also made sure to give all child folders in this directory the same level or permissions:
Assigned permissions to file path
When I run my implementation I get the below errors. Any advice SO?
System.AggregateException: 'One or more errors occurred.'
Inner Exception 1
AdalServiceException: AADSTS90002: Requested tenant identifier 'https:' is not valid.

Inner Exception 2
WebException: The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.
AS PART OF SOLUTION
Need to make sure to give root folder read, write, execute permissions, (this will trickle down to the one folder you want to give these permissions for) then remove those permissions from all other folders you don't want these permissions assigned too, making sure you select the option to remove these permissions for that sub folder and all it's kiddos/children.

AdalServiceException: AADSTS90002: Requested tenant identifier 'https:' is not valid.
That is your tenant name ,like "microsoft.onmicrosoft.com" .
WebException: The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.
What is the detail error message , please refer to tutorial :
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-lake-store/data-lake-store-get-started-net-sdk
I followed the detail steps to use service-to-service authentication with client secret , and successfully create a directory . Code below is for your reference :
public static async Task CreateDirectory()
{
SynchronizationContext.SetSynchronizationContext(new SynchronizationContext());
var domain = "microsoft.onmicrosoft.com";
var webApp_clientId = "client id";
var clientSecret = "client secret";
var clientCredential = new ClientCredential(webApp_clientId, clientSecret);
var creds = ApplicationTokenProvider.LoginSilentAsync(domain, clientCredential).Result;
SynchronizationContext.SetSynchronizationContext(new SynchronizationContext());
_adlsClient = new DataLakeStoreAccountManagementClient(creds) { SubscriptionId = "_subId" };
_adlsFileSystemClient = new DataLakeStoreFileSystemManagementClient(creds);
await _adlsFileSystemClient.FileSystem.MkdirsAsync("_adlsAccountName", "tempdir");
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
CreateDirectory().Wait();
}
EDIT
You need to assign Execute permission to your app if you want to create a directory . Tenant ID and tenant name are both available ,means :
var domain = "microsoft.onmicrosoft.com";
//you could also use tenant id
var domain = "Your tenant ID";

B2B access in multi tenant application

I have succesfully setup a multi tenant application.
For now, I am able to authenticate the user and use tokens to access other resources. (Microsoft Graph & Microsoft AD Graph)
Now I want to get B2B working.
Current flow:
- User signs in
- AuthorizationCodeReceived gets the acquires the token (via $commonAuthority endpoint)
- When requesting a token for the Ad Graph, I am using the $tenantAuthority
This works perfectly when $tenantAuthority is the same tenant authority as the one where the account was created in.
However, if I login with another user (from another tenant, given trust to the actual tenant) and use $tenantAuthority = trusted authority, then I always the following error:
Failed the refresh token:
AADSTS65001: The user or administrator has not consented to use the application with ID
If I change $tenantAuthority to the 'source' tenant authority where the user was created in, everything works fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Update: Code sample
App has two tenants (tenantA en tenantB) and I will use a user from tenantB with tenantA given a trust to this user.
AuthorizationCodeReceived = async context =>
{
TenantContext.TenantId = "someguid";
var tenantId =
TenantContext.TenantId;
// get token cache via func, because the userid is only known at runtime
var getTokenCache = container.Resolve<Func<string, TokenCache>>();
var userId = context.AuthenticationTicket.Identity.FindFirst(ClaimTypes.ObjectIdentifier).Value;
var tokenCache = getTokenCache(userId);
var authenticationContext = new AuthenticationContext($"{configuration.Authority}",
tokenCache);
await authenticationContext.AcquireTokenByAuthorizationCodeAsync(
context.Code,
new Uri(context.Request.Uri.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority)),
new ClientCredential(configuration.ClientId, configuration.ClientSecret),
configuration.GraphResourceId);
}
This code works perfectly. Login in with a user from both tenants works perfectly.
But when I need the Graph Service Client or ActiveDirectoryClient, I need to obtain access tokens to been able to address an api for a certain tenant. I retrieve the access tokens like this:
public IGraphServiceClient CreateGraphServiceClient()
{
var client = new GraphServiceClient(
new DelegateAuthenticationProvider(
async requestMessage =>
{
Logger.Debug("Retrieving authentication token to use in Microsoft Graph.");
string token;
var currentUserHomeTenantId = TenantContext.TenantId;
var currentUserObjectId = ClaimsPrincipal.Current.FindFirst(ClaimTypes.ObjectIdentifier).Value;
var authenticationContext =
new AuthenticationContext($"{_configuration.TenantAuthorityPrefix}{currentUserHomeTenantId}",
_tokenCacheFactoryMethod(currentUserObjectId));
var clientCredential = new ClientCredential(_configuration.ClientId, _configuration.ClientSecret);
try
{
token = await GetTokenSilently(authenticationContext, _configuration.GraphResourceId, currentUserObjectId);
}
catch (AdalSilentTokenAcquisitionException e)
{
Logger.Error("Failed to retrieve authentication token silently, trying to refresh the token.", e);
var result = await authenticationContext.AcquireTokenAsync(_configuration.GraphResourceId, clientCredential);
token = result.AccessToken;
}
requestMessage.Headers.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue(AuthenticationHeaderKeys.Bearer, token);
}));
return client;
}
public IActiveDirectoryClient CreateAdClient()
{
var currentUserHomeTenantId = TenantContext.TenantId;
var currentUserObjectId = ClaimsPrincipal.Current.FindFirst(ClaimTypes.ObjectIdentifier).Value;
var graphServiceUrl = $"{_configuration.AdGraphResourceId}/{currentUserHomeTenantId}";
var tokenCache = _tokenCacheFactoryMethod(currentUserObjectId);
var client = new ActiveDirectoryClient(new Uri(graphServiceUrl),
() => GetTokenSilently(
new AuthenticationContext(
$"{_configuration.TenantAuthorityPrefix}{ClaimsPrincipal.Current.FindFirst(ClaimTypes.TenantId).Value}", tokenCache
),
_configuration.AdGraphResourceId, currentUserObjectId
));
return client;
}
When I do a request with one of the two client SDK's, I got the following error:
Failed the refresh token: AADSTS65001: The user or administrator has not consented to use the application with ID.

Changing the catch method when retrieving the Token did the trick:
if(e.ErrorCode == "failed_to_acquire_token_silently")
{
HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect(authenticationContext.GetAuthorizationRequestUrlAsync(resourceId, _configuration.ClientId, new Uri(currentUrl),
new UserIdentifier(currentUserId, UserIdentifierType.UniqueId), string.Empty);
}

I don't see that you mention that so: in a B2B collaboration you've to invite user from other tenant first. The steps are like that:
invite and authorize a set of external users by uploading a comma-separated values - CSV file
Invitation will be send to external users.
The invited user will either sign in to an existing work account with Microsoft (managed in Azure AD), or get a new work account in Azure AD.
After signed in, user will be redirected to the app that was shared with them
That works perfectly in my case.
Regarding some problems which I've detect:
Trailing "/" at the end of the active directory resource - try to remove it as this may cause problems. Bellow you will find some code to get authentication headers:
string aadTenant = WebServiceClientConfiguration.Settings.ActiveDirectoryTenant;
string clientAppId = WebServiceClientConfiguration.Settings.ClientAppId;
string clientKey = WebServiceClientConfiguration.Settings.ClientKey;
string aadResource = WebServiceClientConfiguration.Settings.ActiveDirectoryResource;
AuthenticationContext authenticationContext = new AuthenticationContext(aadTenant);
ClientCredential clientCredential = new ClientCredential(clientAppId, clientKey);
UserPasswordCredential upc = new UserPasswordCredential(WebServiceClientConfiguration.Settings.UserName, WebServiceClientConfiguration.Settings.Password);
AuthenticationResult authenticationResult = await authenticationContext.AcquireTokenAsync(aadResource, clientAppId, upc);
return authenticationResult.CreateAuthorizationHeader();
Applications provisioned in Azure AD are not enabled to use the OAuth2 implicit grant by default. You need to explicitly opt in - more details can be found here: Azure AD OAuth2 implicit grant

How do I connect a server service to Dynamics Online

I am modifying an internal management application to connect to our online hosted Dynamics 2016 instance.
Following some online tutorials, I have been using an OrganizationServiceProxy out of Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Client from the SDK.
This seems to need a username and password to connect, which works fine, but I would like to connect in some way that doesn't require a particular user's account details. I don't think the OAuth examples I've seen are suitable, as there is no UI, and no actual person to show an OAuth request to.
public class DynamicsHelper
{
private OrganizationServiceProxy service;
public void Connect(string serviceUri, string username, string password)
{
var credentials = new ClientCredentials();
credentials.UserName.UserName = username;
credentials.UserName.Password = password;
var organizationUri = new Uri(serviceUri);
this.service = new OrganizationServiceProxy(organizationUri, null, credentials, null);
}
}
Is there a way to connect with an application token or API key?

I've found that to do this successfully, you'll need to setup all of the following:
Create an application registration in Azure AD:
grant it API permissions for Dynamics, specifically "Access Dynamics 365 as organization users"
give it a dummy web redirect URI such as http://localhost/auth
generate a client secret and save it for later
Create a user account in Azure AD and give it permissions to Dynamics.
Create an application user record in Dynamics with the same email as the non-interactive user account above.
Authenticate your application using the user account you've created.
For step 4, you'll want to open an new incognito window, construct a url using the following pattern and login using your user account credentials in step 2:
https://login.microsoftonline.com/<your aad tenant id>/oauth2/authorize?client_id=<client id>&response_type=code&redirect_uri=<redirect uri from step 1>&response_mode=query&resource=https://<organization name>.<region>.dynamics.com&state=<random value>
When this is done, you should see that your Dynamics application user has an Application ID and Application ID URI.
Now with your ClientId and ClientSecret, along with a few other organization specific variables, you can authenticate with Azure Active Directory (AAD) to acquire an oauth token and construct an OrganizationWebProxyClient. I've never found a complete code example of doing this, but I have developed the following for my own purposes. Note that the token you acquire has an expiry of 1 hr.
internal class ExampleClientProvider
{
// Relevant nuget packages:
// <package id="Microsoft.CrmSdk.CoreAssemblies" version="9.0.2.9" targetFramework="net472" />
// <package id="Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory" version="4.5.1" targetFramework="net461" />
// Relevant imports:
// using Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory;
// using Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Messages;
// using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk;
// using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Client;
// using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.WebServiceClient;
private const string TenantId = "<your aad tenant id>"; // from your app registration overview "Directory (tenant) ID"
private const string ClientId = "<your client id>"; // from your app registration overview "Application (client) ID"
private const string ClientSecret = "<your client secret>"; // secret generated in step 1
private const string LoginUrl = "https://login.microsoftonline.com"; // aad login url
private const string OrganizationName = "<your organization name>"; // check your dynamics login url, e.g. https://<organization>.<region>.dynamics.com
private const string OrganizationRegion = "<your organization region>"; // might be crm for north america, check your dynamics login url
private string GetServiceUrl()
{
return $"{GetResourceUrl()}/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc/web";
}
private string GetResourceUrl()
{
return $"https://{OrganizationName}.api.{OrganizationRegion}.dynamics.com";
}
private string GetAuthorityUrl()
{
return $"{LoginUrl}/{TenantId}";
}
public async Task<OrganizationWebProxyClient> CreateClient()
{
var context = new AuthenticationContext(GetAuthorityUrl(), false);
var token = await context.AcquireTokenAsync(GetResourceUrl(), new ClientCredential(ClientId, ClientSecret));
return new OrganizationWebProxyClient(new Uri(GetServiceUrl()), true)
{
HeaderToken = token.AccessToken,
SdkClientVersion = "9.1"
};
}
public async Task<OrganizationServiceContext> CreateContext()
{
var client = await CreateClient();
return new OrganizationServiceContext(client);
}
public async Task TestApiCall()
{
var context = await CreateContext();
// send a test request to verify authentication is working
var response = (WhoAmIResponse) context.Execute(new WhoAmIRequest());
}
}

With Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online or internet facing deployments
When you use the Web API for CRM Online or an on-premises Internet-facing deployment (IFD)
you must use OAuth as described in Connect to Microsoft Dynamics CRM web services using OAuth.
Before you can use OAuth authentication to connect with the CRM web services,
your application must first be registered with Microsoft Azure Active Directory.
Azure Active Directory is used to verify that your application is permitted access to the business data stored in a CRM tenant.
// TODO Substitute your correct CRM root service address,
string resource = "https://mydomain.crm.dynamics.com";
// TODO Substitute your app registration values that can be obtained after you
// register the app in Active Directory on the Microsoft Azure portal.
string clientId = "e5cf0024-a66a-4f16-85ce-99ba97a24bb2";
string redirectUrl = "http://localhost/SdkSample";
// Authenticate the registered application with Azure Active Directory.
AuthenticationContext authContext =
new AuthenticationContext("https://login.windows.net/common", false);
AuthenticationResult result =
authContext.AcquireToken(resource, clientId, new Uri(redirectUrl));
P.S: Concerning your method, it is a best practice to not to store the password as clear text, crypt it, or encrypt the configuration sections for maximum security.
See walkhrough here
Hope this helps :)

If I understand your question correctly, you want to connect to Dynamics 2016 (Dynamics 365) through a Registerd Azure Application with ClientId and Secret, instead of Username and Password. If this is correct, yes this is possible with the OrganizationWebProxyClient . You can even use strongly types assemblies.
var organizationWebProxyClient = new OrganizationWebProxyClient(GetServiceUrl(), true);
organizationWebProxyClient.HeaderToken = authToken.AccessToken;
OrganizationRequest request = new OrganizationRequest()
{
RequestName = "WhoAmI"
};
WhoAmIResponse response = organizationWebProxyClient.Execute(new WhoAmIRequest()) as WhoAmIResponse;
Console.WriteLine(response.UserId);
Contact contact = new Contact();
contact.EMailAddress1 = "jennie.whiten#mycompany.com";
contact.FirstName = "Jennie";
contact.LastName = "White";
contact.Id = Guid.NewGuid();
organizationWebProxyClient.Create(contact);
To get the AccessToken, please refer to the following post Connect to Dynamics CRM WebApi from Console Application.
Replace line 66 (full source code)
authToken = await authContext.AcquireTokenAsync(resourceUrl, clientId, new Uri(redirectUrl), new PlatformParameters(PromptBehavior.Never));
with
authToken = await authContext.AcquireTokenAsync( resourceUrl, new ClientCredential(clientId, secret));
You can also check the following Link Authenticate Azure Function App to connect to Dynamics 365 CRM online that describes how to secure your credentials using the Azure Key Vault.
