What I am using OAuth to authenticate with Microsoft:
https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize...&redirect_uri=MYURL
(I also use similar approach with google: https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth...redirect_uri=MYURL)
MYURL is https://admin.myrealdomain.com/code
(MYURL is an empty 200 Ok page on my server)
However, Microsoft Graph returns with 302 redirect from https://login.live.com/oauth20_authorize.srf...
and this causes issues with deeplinks handling (the page just is not intercepted by the app).
I don't have any such issues with Google though (200 status code).
And it seems like it recently worked just fine with Microsoft as well. I am just not sure if this is something I miss or MS has some recent changes applied to that logic.
Does anyone has any idea how I can solve it? Thanks!
It seems that you are executing the OAUTH code flow behind the scenes. It doesn't work this way.
You should pop up a browser dialog to request the authorization code. See reference here.
The steps:
Pop up a browser dialog which the url address is
https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?...
After User signs in, it redirects to the redirect url, where the
authorization code has been returned.
POST to
https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/token?....
you can get the access token to call Microsoft Graph API.

I am trying to integrate the OneNote API as part of a new application. Is it possible to use Google Chrome's POSTMAN REST Client to test the API? The OneNote API appears to be standard REST, so there should be no reason why not.
To login, I followed the documentation and did a GET request in POSTMAN to
https://login.live.com/oauth20_authorize.srf?client_id=myClientIdIsHere&scope=wl.signin&response_type=token&redirect_uri=dontKnowWhatToPutHere
Broken down, that is:
https://login.live.com/oauth20_authorize.srf
client_id=myClientIdIsHere
scope=wl.signin
response_type=token
redirect_uri=dontKnowWhatToPutHere
I tried the following based off advice from this blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/onenotedev/archive/2014/07/23/how-to-authenticate-with-microsoft-account-in-a-chrome-extension.aspx
https://login.live.com/oauth20_authorize.srf?client_id=myClientIdIsHere&scope=wl.signin&response_type=token&redirect_uri=https://login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf
When I do a GET request to this, I get HTML back, but it does not show up in the preview mode.
Am I on the right track?
The code that you are trying to execute is just the initial part of the oAuth login process.
As you have mentioned the below peice
redirect_uri=dontKnowWhatToPutHere
redirect_uri is the URL of your application. Once the authentication is success, the server will redirect the navigation to provided URL and you can proceed further from here. Just keep in mind that the URL given is as same as the one you have provided while creating the azure app. If they do not match, the server is going to simply throw an exception.
Please change the JSON to
https://login.live.com/oauth20_authorize.srf
client_id=myClientIdIsHere
scope=wl.signin
response_type=token
redirect_uri=http://localhost:8008/login
Replace http://localhost:8008/login with your application login route.
There are many other question related to this, but they didn't help me fix my problem.
I'm using the Facebook server-side login for a website, which I want to test locally. The path that initiates the login action is [http://localhost:8080/fblogin] (this redirects to the Facebook login dialogue, and goes from there).
I can successfully get the code, but when I try to exchange that for an access token, I get the following error:
{"error":{"message":"Missing redirect_uri parameter.","type":"OAuthException","code":191}}
I am providing the redirect_uri, url encoded and it is the same as the one I use to get the first code. Here is the url I'm using to request the access token (with the all-caps query string parameters replaced with their actual values, of course):
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=CLIENT_ID&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8080%2Ffblogin&client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET&code=CODE_FROM_FB
I suspect this might have to do with how my app is set up on Facebook. Here are the values I have set:
Display Name: (an actual display name here)
App Domains: localhost
Contact email: (an actual email here)
Site URL: [http://localhost:8080/fblogin]
What do I need to tweak in the settings to get this to work? Or does this look correct?
By the way, if it makes any difference, I am using the Play! framework, version 2.0.1
After digging around a little more, I found that it was necessary for me to use POST when sending the request from my server to get the access token.
Interesting that using POST worked for you as this didn't for me.
In any case, did you add the query parameters using setQueryParameter()? (see How to make multiple http requests in play 2?)
I'm using FB.login on the JS client and want to verify the user's identity on the server. So, the client gets a signedRequest from facebook and sends it to the server. The server splits on the period, and decodes the second part of the signedRequest into a json object.
What should I be using for "code" when I send my server-side request to
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?
client_id=YOUR_APP_ID
&redirect_uri=YOUR_REDIRECT_URI
&client_secret=YOUR_APP_SECRET
&code=CODE_GENERATED_BY_FACEBOOK
My decoded json looks something like:
{"algorithm":"HMAC-SHA256","code":"2.AQCPA_yfx4JHpufjP.3600.1335646800.1-5702286|l11asGeDQTMo3MrMx3SC0PksALj6g","issued_at":1335642445,"user_id":"5232286"}
Is that the code I need? Does it need to be B64 encoded? If this isn't the code, what code should I use?
_
What I've tried:
The request I'm trying to use is:
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=295410083869479&redirect_uri=https://squaredme.appspot.com/facebookredirect&client_secret=44f1TOPSECRETbb8e&code=2.AQCPA_yfx4JHpufjP.3600.1335646800.1-5702286|l11asGeDQTMo3MrMx3SC0PksALj6g
but this returns the error:
{"error":{"message":"Error validating verification code.","type":"OAuthException","code":100}}
I can't tell if this is because I'm using a bad code, or what. Noteably, this is running on my local dev server, and squaredme.appspot.com definitely does NOT resolve to my IP. I don't know if facebook checks that or what - I'm assuming I'd get a better error message. Thanks for any direction!
You are trying to somehow combine the two flows together and that's why things don't work well.
When facebook POSTs into the iframe with your app url and a signed request there are two options, the easy one being that the user is already authenticated and then the signed request will have all the necessary data (including a signed request), then you just load the canvas page and use the JS SDK to get an access token there as well, but in this case there's no need to use the FB.login (since it opens a popup and will automatically close it), you can use the FB.getLoginStatus method which won't annoy the user.
If the user is not authenticated then the sign request will be missing the things you need to use the graph api.
You then redirect the user to the auth dialog, and since you are loaded in an iframe you'll need to return a html response which redirects the parent window using javascript, like:
top.location.href = "AUTH_DIALOG_URL";
When the use is done (accepted or rejected the app) he will be redirected to the "redirect_uri" you added as a parameter to the auth dialog.
If the user accepted your app then you'll be getting the "code" parameter in the query string.
You then take the code, exchange it with an access token as you posted in your question, and then redirect the user back to "apps.facebook.com/YOUR_APP".
When the page then loads the user is already authenticated and you'll be getting a full signed request.
I hope this clarifies things for you, recheck the Server-Side flow it pretty much covers it all.
I also had some trouble with that, then I found the solution here in StackOverflow.
There are two kinds of "code" provided by facebook. One comes inside the signedRequest in the cookie generated by the client-side flow. The Facebook's JS SDK handles this codes and get a access token without telling us anything.
The other type of code comes attached as a query to your redirect URI (http://www.yoururl.com/index.php?code=AAAgyiaus...), when you navigate to OAuth URL (server-side flow). With this code, you go to a Token URL and get your access token.
When you are using the server-side flow, you need to indicate a redirect URI both in the OAuth URL AND in the Token URL, and they have to be exactly the same, so a missing slash or a query string can be a lot of problem.
The codes are different from each other. When you use the both things together, appears to be impossible to get a access token using the code that was inside the cookie's signedRequest.
BUT, it is not. The magic is: the code from signedRequest is associated with NO URI, so as long as the redirect_uri is a mandatory field, all you have to do is to pass it blank when you navigate to the Token URL.
So the final solution is: grab the signedRequest from the cookie, parse it in your server to obtain the code, then read the Token URL:
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?
client_id=YOUR_APP_ID
&redirect_uri=&client_secret=YOUR_APP_SECRET
&code=CODE_INSIDE_THE_SIGNED_REQUEST
It looks like a hack, so I don't know how long it's gonna work, but it's working right now.
I'm trying to pass some variables to my facebook app from the url, i.e. using GET variable app_data like facebook wants.
At some point I've stopped getting the ['signed_request'] part of the $_REQUEST. When I print_r($_REQUEST) I'm getting: ['doc'], ['user'], ['__utmz'], ['__utma'] and ['session'] values, but not signed request :(
Any ideas of why this might be happening?
Check the tab/canvas url is EXACTLY the same as required. If there is a redirect to another page, then signed request and other values will not be sent. You can check using a browser sniffer, if a call to the page responds with a 300 (301/302 etc) redirect, then you need to change to what it redirects to.
Examples:
https://example.com/ may need to be https://www.example.com/ (add www., or remove www. depending on how server is set up)
www.example.com/ may need to be www.example.com/index.php (add index.php, or the right page).
Check you are using http:// and https:// correctly in the URLs, and that https:// returns a valid page.
I've only been able to get the signed request in https://, i get no request at all in http.
Currently have a bug on FB, but no word on fixing it yet; http://developers.facebook.com/bugs/264505123580318?browse=search_4eb3ef23eb18d6649415729
EDIT:
http://SITE.com was redirecting to http://www.SITE.com, so I was loosing the request variables.
Had a similar issue, for me it was as simple as a mismatch of the app id and app secret! However in facebook developers backend I have noticed that the URLs all need to have that trailing slash!
Some browsers do redirect your request to https automatically if you have been on this particular site on https so if you are in http mode on facebook there is situation:
facebook requests http version of your app, browser redirect this request of facebook to https and POST data and thus signer_request are gone in this process...
i see this problem in chrome 23, if you delete browsin data (particulary Deauthorize content licenses) app should run back on http
Is there a way to go to a url without redirecting to it? Basically I want to call a url from within my application in the background so it can logout a reliant party.
Appreciate the help.
What you are trying to do does not compete us to answer as it's directly related to your own Authentication implementation.
A normal ASP.NET Authentication based in Forms Authentication you will need always to lunch the url from a browser as it is there that relies the Authentication given.
You can give yourself a try by opening your website and log in into it, after that, open other browser brand (not browser window) into your application url... you will see that you also need to login again as the Authentication is hook up into the first browser.
It's Up to you as Application Architect to make this by implementing another way of authentication, normally in this kind'a cases, this happend when consuming web services where you need a authentication code first (given by calling a Login method) and that code is always needed to be appended to the body or header of any call to the system.
This way you can easily remove the authentication code and all procedure calls will fail.
As said, this is not up to us, it's up to you to create the correct Authentication Layer.
from your comment
it's as simple as using WebClient object
WebClient client = new WebClient ();
string reply = client.DownloadString (address);
If you wish to transfer to a new url request you can still use
Server.TransferRequest()
The problem with this is that by not using a redirect the browsers address bar will not reflect the fact that you have moved their request to another URL.
To have the client visit a given URL in the background you should either make an AJAX call to it or possibly have an image with an src of your logout url (though you'd have to make sure that you return a FileResult of your image too). This is how most analytics packages call to their relevant urls in the background.
The problem here though is that neither is 100% reliable, turn off javascript or images on your browser and these results fail.
From what you've said I think what you're after is for a user to continue to any of a variety of pages rather than a specific logout page. If this is indeed the case your best solution is in fact a double redirect.
Have your application redirect to your logout url but before hand put the url of the page you want them to go to into tempdata. Then in the actionresult for the logout page you can do your logging out as required and return a redirect to the url from tempdata.
