Client Credential Flow Sample and Test

Version: 1.3.6

This client uses the OAuth2/OIDC Client Credential Flow to obtain an access token. See the main ADH Authentication samples page README for more information about this flow.

Requirements

• .NET 6.0 or later
  • Note: Visual Studio 2022 (v17.1) or later is required for development against .NET 6.0

The sample is configured using the file appsettings.placeholder.json. Before editing, rename this file to appsettings.json. This repository's .gitignore rules should prevent the file from ever being checked in to any fork or branch, to ensure credentials are not compromised.

Replace the placeholders in the appsettings.json file with your Tenant Id, Client Id and Client Secret, and the current Api Version. There is no need to replace the Namespace Id for this sample.

Developed against DotNet 6.0.

Running the sample

Prerequisites

• Register a Client Credential client in ADH.
• Replace the placeholders in the appsettings.json file with your Tenant Id, Client Id, and Client Secret obtained from registration.
• Note: As a test, a request is made against the users endpoint. If the tenant being used has strict mode enabled and the client does not have Tenant Admin permissions, the test will fail. In this case, it is recommended to change the url to a type or a stream that the client has permission to access.
