如何使用 authentication_code 在 C# 中获取 Oauth2 不记名令牌？

Question

I have a postman request that works correctly in obtaining a bearer token, that I can grab and use to make a successful request. But I cannot obtain an equally valid bearer token in c# and I have tried about 100 different approaches.

Here is the Postman request, which gets a valid bearer token:

Scope: AX.FullAccess CustomService.FullAccess Odata.FullAccess

Auth URL: https://login.microsoftonline.com/abe3ad26.../oauth2/authorize?resource=https://myCust.sandbox.operations.dynamics.com/

In the Client Authentication pulldown there are 2 options. The other option is Send as basic auth header . It doesn't matter which I choose, they both work.

And here is my non-working c# attempting to do the same thing postman does:

using(WebClient client = new WebClient()) {
  var querystring = new System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection();
  querystring.Add("grant_type", "authorization_code");
  querystring.Add("client_id", "e93c4014...");
  querystring.Add("client_secret", "USu8Q...");
  querystring.Add("redirect_uri", "https://myCust.sandbox.operations.dynamics.com/");
  querystring.Add("resource", "https://myCust.sandbox.operations.dynamics.com/");
  querystring.Add("scope", "AX.FullAccess CustomService.FullAccess Odata.FullAccess");

  byte[] responsebytes = client.UploadValues("https://login.microsoftonline.com/abe3ad26.../oauth2/authorize", "POST", querystring);

  [code to retrieve the response...]
}

In all the various permutations I have tried of the above code, I either get an exception with no message, or I get a large html response that is merely Microsoft's generic page titled Sign in to your account .

I'm unsure whether resource should be a formal param, or appended to the Auth URL as in postman, or what.

I am certain the client_id and client_secret are right, both in name and value . As for all the other params, I'm not as sure. I'm especially unsure what exact url I should be POSTing this request to. I have tried the full Auth URL with and without the resource querystring value appended, no luck either way.

One issue is that you should always ask for the openid scope.

this is a required scope in most identity providers.

Below is the C# code I use to get the token from an openid-connect token provider: (using the Flurl.Http NuGet package)

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Flurl;
using Flurl.Http;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using OpenID_Connect_client.Models;

public class CodeFlowController : Controller
{
    private readonly IOpenIDSettings _openIdSettings;

    public CodeFlowController(IOpenIDSettings openIdSettings)
    {
        this._openIdSettings = openIdSettings;
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Start page for the login using the fragment as return type
    /// </summary>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public IActionResult Login()
    {
        string url = BuildLoginUrl();
        ViewData["loginurl"] = url;

        return View();
    }


    /// <summary>
    /// Construct the login URL
    /// </summary>
    /// <returns></returns>
    private string BuildLoginUrl()
    {
        //In real life, nonce and state should be random values, but we hardcoded them here for simplicity
        string nonceValue = "1122334455";
        string stateValue = "9988776655";

        //Please redirect us back to this page after successful login
        string redirectUrl = "https://localhost:5001/CodeFlow/callback";

        var url = new Url(_openIdSettings.authorization_endpoint);

        url = url.SetQueryParams(new
        {
            response_type = "code",       //Get both access-token + ID-token
            client_id = "authcodeflowclient",       //Id of this client

            scope = "openid email profile shop.admin",   //openid (required; to indicate that the application intends to use OIDC to verify the user's identity)

            prompt = "consent",                     // Force users to provide consent
            response_mode = "form_post",            // Send the token response as a form post instead of a fragment encoded redirect

            state = stateValue,                     // To prevent CSRF attacks
            nonce = nonceValue,                     // To further strengthen the security

            redirect_uri = redirectUrl              // The URL to which the Auth0 will redirect the user's browser after authorization has been granted by the user. 
        });

        return url.ToString();
    }


    /// <summary>
    /// This method is called with the authorization code and state parameter
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="code">authorization code generated by the authorization server. This code is relatively short-lived, typically lasting between 1 to 10 minutes depending on the OAuth service.</param>
    /// <param name="state"></param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    [HttpPost]
    public IActionResult Callback(string code, string state)
    {

        //To be secure then the state parameter should be compared to the state sent in the previous step

        var url = new Url(_openIdSettings.token_endpoint);

        var token = url.PostUrlEncodedAsync(new
        {
            client_id = "authcodeflowclient",       //Id of this client
            client_secret = "mysecret",
            grant_type = "authorization_code",
            code = code,
            redirect_uri = "https://localhost:5001/CodeFlow/Callback"

        }).ReceiveJson<Token>().Result;

        return View(token);
    }
}
