I want to communicate with Azure only with REST Api and without any sdk component - communicate to the new ARM
how can I get the Bearer token for the authentication? i saw that all the examples use the SDK for that
To get a token for authorization, you need to install the Active Directory Authentication Library into your project. The easiest way to do this is to use the NuGet package.
Use this code to get the token:
public static string GetAToken()
{
var authenticationContext = new AuthenticationContext("https://login.windows.net/{tenantId or tenant name}");
var credential = new ClientCredential(clientId: "{application id}", clientSecret: {application password}");
var result = authenticationContext.AcquireToken(resource: "https://management.core.windows.net/", clientCredential:credential);
if (result == null) {
throw new InvalidOperationException("Failed to obtain the JWT token");
}
string token = result.AccessToken;
return token;
}
There are more details and code examples at Authenticating Azure Resource Manager requests.

Trying to stream a video from Azure Media Service into a Xamarin.Form application.
The asset is protected with a JWT token.
I use the following code to generate the token:
private string GetJWT(string PrimaryKey) {
var tokenSigningKey = new SymmetricSecurityKey(Convert.FromBase64String(PrimaryKey));
SigningCredentials cred = new SigningCredentials(tokenSigningKey, SecurityAlgorithms.HmacSha256);
JwtSecurityToken token = new JwtSecurityToken(
issuer: "xxx",
audience: "yyy",
claims: null,
notBefore: DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(-5),
expires: DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(60),
signingCredentials: cred);
JwtSecurityTokenHandler handler = new JwtSecurityTokenHandler();
return handler.WriteToken(token);
}
The URI for the asset is like : https://xxx.streaming.media.azure.net/12222-1565-232323-a5b8-c10e148273ae/Test.ism/manifest(format=m3u8-cmaf,encryption=cbc)
If I use Azure Media Player (https://ampdemo.azureedge.net) to test the URI and the AES token, it works fine. So I guess there is no problem with the token itself...
The documentation (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/media-services/latest/security-pass-authentication-tokens-how-to#pass-a-token-via-the-addition-of-a-url-query-parameter-with-tokentokenvalue) says that the following code should work to send the token directly with the url.
I need to do this as with Xamarin.Forms and MediaElement, I can't send the token in a header request. So I need the querystring option...
string armoredAuthToken = System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode(authToken);
string uriWithTokenParameter = string.Format("{0}&token={1}", keyDeliveryServiceUri.AbsoluteUri, armoredAuthToken);
Uri keyDeliveryUrlWithTokenParameter = new Uri(uriWithTokenParameter);
player.Source = keyDeliveryUrlWithTokenParameter; (player is a MediaElement control)
But the video is never loaded.
In my opinion there is an error, it should be {0}?token={1} instead of {0}&token={1}.
But that doesn't work neither.
If I test with VLC the https://xxx.streaming.media.azure.net/12222-1565-232323-a5b8-c10e148273ae/Test.ism/manifest(format=m3u8-cmaf,encryption=cbc)?token=zzzzz, it doesn't work neither.
I presume there is a problem with token in the querystring, as if Azure can't read it.
The goal is to develop an Azure function which should do some changes in Azure DevOps (like update work items, wiki pages etc), being triggered by Azure pipeline service hook.
Can I use function system identity in this case? And how can I give permissions for this identity to call DevOps REST APIs?
I'm not sure if this is the best way but you can create PAT token. Since you will use it for Azure Function I woudl recommend to use Azure KeyVault to store that token.
Here you have the example how you can use it to fetch projects from Azure DevOps:
public static async void GetProjects()
{
try
{
var personalaccesstoken = "PAT_FROM_WEBSITE";
using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
{
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(
new System.Net.Http.Headers.MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic",
Convert.ToBase64String(
System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(
string.Format("{0}:{1}", "", personalaccesstoken))));
using (HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(
"https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/_apis/projects"))
{
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
string responseBody = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
Console.WriteLine(responseBody);
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}
}
Here you have documentation for updating work items. I tested that with Postman, but I was able to edit work item using PAT.
My company is looking into reporting on Azure. We only want our customers to give us read only credentials for us to use. I did some research and it looks like Azure Active Directory does just that. So I'm looking to authenticate using a read only Azure Directory Application.
To get me started I was following this blog on using the Management API via Azure Active Directory.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn722415.aspx
Aside from the approach show being very unfriendly, it doesn't work =(
I get this error after logging in as a global administrator:
"AADSTS90014: The request body must contain the following parameter: 'client_secret or client_assertion'."
Did some research and found this style of authentication was for native app and NOT web apps (despite what the blog post saying other wise..). So I made a tweak. My GetAuthorizationHeader now looks like this:
private static string GetAuthorizationHeader()
{
AuthenticationResult result = null;
var context = new AuthenticationContext("https://login.windows.net/" + ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["tenantId"]);
string clientId = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["clientId"];
string clientSecret = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["clientSecret"];
ClientCredential clientCred = new ClientCredential(clientId, clientSecret);
var thread = new Thread(() =>
{
result = context.AcquireToken(
"https://management.core.windows.net/",
clientCred);
});
thread.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
thread.Name = "AquireTokenThread";
thread.Start();
thread.Join();
if (result == null)
{
throw new InvalidOperationException("Failed to obtain the JWT token");
}
string token = result.AccessToken;
return token;
}
I am able to get the Access Token (yay). But now when I try to use this with the Azure Management library client I get this error:
"ForbiddenError: The server failed to authenticate the request. Verify that the certificate is valid and is associated with this subscription."
I double checked my permissions in my application. It looked good. I tried giving full access to everything to see if that would have made a difference.
I double checked my tenantId, clientId, and subscriptionId, all looked good.
I made sure the subscription I'm using is pointed to the AD my application is in.
I tried making a new secret key.
My guess is this is the issue:
However in this UI I am unable to select any values for that property. I'm unsure if this is the result of a bug or an unfinished feature.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks
Here's my full code for reference:
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var token = GetAuthorizationHeader();
var credential = new TokenCloudCredentials(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["subscriptionId"], token);
using (var computeClient = new ComputeManagementClient(credential))
{
var images = computeClient.VirtualMachineOSImages.List();
}
}
private static string GetAuthorizationHeader()
{
AuthenticationResult result = null;
var context = new AuthenticationContext("https://login.windows.net/" + ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["tenantId"]);
string clientId = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["clientId"];
string clientSecret = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["clientSecret"];
ClientCredential clientCred = new ClientCredential(clientId, clientSecret);
var thread = new Thread(() =>
{
result = context.AcquireToken(
"https://management.core.windows.net/",
clientCred);
});
thread.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
thread.Name = "AquireTokenThread";
thread.Start();
thread.Join();
if (result == null)
{
throw new InvalidOperationException("Failed to obtain the JWT token");
}
string token = result.AccessToken;
return token;
}
}
EDIT:
Progress has been made. As I discussed with Gaurav, I needed to ditch the Azure Management Library because as of right now it does not seem to support Azure Resource Manager (ARM) API! So instead I did raw web requests. And it works as intended. If I remove role access off my AD Application I get access denied. When I have it I get back data.
One thing I'm not sure about is making it so my application is auto-adding to new resources.
Also, Is there a way to list Resource Groups that are accessible for my AD Application?
New code:
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var token = GetAuthorizationHeader();
string subscriptionId = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["subscriptionId"];
string resourceGroupName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["resourceGroupName"];
var uriListMachines = string.Format("https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{0}/resourceGroups/{1}/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualmachines?api-version=2015-05-01-preview", subscriptionId, resourceGroupName);
var t = WebRequest.Create(uriListMachines);
t.ContentType = "application/json";
t.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Bearer " + token);
var response = (HttpWebResponse)t.GetResponse();
string result = "";
using (var reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
{
result = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
//Original Attempt:
//var credential = new TokenCloudCredentials(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["subscriptionId"], token);
//using (var client = CloudContext.Clients.CreateComputeManagementClient(credential))
//{
// var images = client.VirtualMachineVMImages.List();
//}
}
private static string GetAuthorizationHeader()
{
AuthenticationResult result = null;
var context = new AuthenticationContext("https://login.windows.net/" + ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["tenantId"]);
string clientId = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["clientId"];
string clientSecret = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["clientSecret"];
ClientCredential clientCred = new ClientCredential(clientId, clientSecret);
var thread = new Thread(() =>
{
result = context.AcquireToken(
"https://management.core.windows.net/",
clientCred);
});
thread.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
thread.Name = "AquireTokenThread";
thread.Start();
thread.Join();
if (result == null)
{
throw new InvalidOperationException("Failed to obtain the JWT token");
}
string token = result.AccessToken;
return token;
}
}
EDIT EDIT:
I figured out my hung up. Resources created in the OLD portal will get it's own distinct resource group.
From what I can tell you can not add a resource made in the old portal existing resource group (boooo). Resources created in the new portal will be able to assign the resource to an existing group (aka one that gives a role access to my AD Application).
This is such a mess! But at least I know what is going on now.
I believe you're on the right track as to why you're running into this problem.
Here's what's happening:
Essentially permission to execute Service Management API is a delegated permission and not an application permission. In other words, the API is executed in context of the user for which the token is acquired. Now you are getting this token for your application (specified by client id/secret). However your application doesn't have access to your Azure Subscription because the user record created for this application in your Azure AD is of type Service Principal. Since this Service Principal doesn't have access to your Azure Subscription, you're getting this Forbidden Error (I must say that the error is misleading because you're not using certificate at all).
There are a few things you could do:
Switch to Azure Resource Manager (ARM) API - ARM API is the next generation of Service Management API (SM API) and Azure is moving towards this direction only. It exclusively works off of Azure AD token. If possible, make use of that to manage your Azure resources (though you need to keep in mind that as of today not all Azure resources can be managed through ARM API). They way you do it is take your Service Principal and assign it to a particular role using new Azure Portal. Please see this link for more details on this: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/documentation/articles/resource-group-create-service-principal-portal/.
Use X509 Certificate - You can always use X509 Certificate based authorization to authorize your SM API requests. Please see this link for more details on that: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/ee460782.aspx#bk_cert. The downside of this approach is that the application (or whosoever has access to this certificate) will get full access to your Azure Subscription and can do everything there (including deleting resources).
Acquire token for a user instead of an application - This is another approach you can take. Essentially ask your users to login into Azure AD through your console application and acquire token for that user. Again, please keep in mind that this user must be a Co-Admin in your Azure Subscription and will have full access to your Azure Subscription as with SM API there's no concept of Role-based access control.
I have a scenario where a client has an OpenIdConnect (OIDC) token in their possession. The OIDC was issued from an external OIDC provider, I am not the OIDC provider, just the downstream consumer of it.
The goal is for the client to exchange said OIDC Token, for temporary credentials, or an accesstoken, which will then give them api access to more specific resources.
In my case, the OIDC represents a user. The client, has a ClientId/Secret, which is used to establish service-2-service trust. In the end I would like to have something that looks a lot like the CustomGrant token Request.
static TokenResponse GetCustomGrantToken()
{
var client = new TokenClient(
token_endpoint,
"custom_grant_client",
"cd19ac6f-3bfa-4577-9579-da32fd15788a");
var customParams = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
{ "some_custom_parameter", "some_value" }
};
var result = client.RequestCustomGrantAsync("custom", "read", customParams).Result;
return result;
}
where my customParams would contain the OIDC to my user.
Problem: I can get a token back from the GetCustomGrantToken call, however a follow up Webapi call fails to pass Authorization. i.e. Identity.isAuthenticated is false.
The it all works fine if I get a clientcredential token.
static TokenResponse GetClientToken()
{
var client = new TokenClient(
token_endpoint,
"silicon",
"F621F470-9731-4A25-80EF-67A6F7C5F4B8");
return client.RequestClientCredentialsAsync("api1").Result;
}
Had the CustomGrantToken worked I would have put my users account info in the claims, thus giving me context in the subsequent WebApi calls.
Any direction would be appreciated.
We can successfully acquire a token using the following code:
var certificate = Certificate.Load("Client.pfx", "notasecret");
var authenticationContext = new AuthenticationContext(authority);
var clientAssertionCertificate = new ClientAssertionCertificate(clientId, certificate);
return await authenticationContext.AcquireTokenAsync(resource, clientAssertionCertificate);
The token doesnt seem to contain any information that we can use to identity the client. In our use case we have lots of daemon service clients that communicate to a API. We need to have some unique identified available on the server.
I also tried creating our own JWT token and added some public claims, such as name. However after requesting client assertion type using the following code fragment
var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(new Dictionary<string, string>
{
{ "clientid", clientId },
{ "resource", resource },
{ "client_assertion_type", "urn:ietf:params:oauth:client-assertion-type:jwt-bearer" },
{ "grant_type", "client_credentials" },
{ "client_assertion", jwt }
});
var httpClient = new HttpClient
{
BaseAddress = new Uri("https://login.windows.net/{guid}/")
};
var response = await httpClient.PostAsync("oauth2/token", content);
The return token had none of my custom information.
Question: Is there a way to pass custom claims using ClientAssertionCertificate flow? where the token returned has additional information.
There is currently no way of adding custom claims in tokens issued for applications.
The token you receive should contain the claims appid (which identifies the client_id of the application who requested the token) and tid (which indicates which azure AD tenant the app is operating on). Those two should be enough for you to identify the calling application. Now, if rather than the application you want to identify the process (as in, instance of application X running on server A and instance of application X running on server B) then I don't believe we have anything in Azure AD today that would help you to tell the two apart - for Azure AD if they have the same client_id and secret, they are the same application.
