Can't create an event with extended data - azure-active-directory

I am trying to create a calendar event with extended data using Microsoft Graph API.(actually, I am trying to converting the existing open extension to schema extension since I couldn't filter the non-id extended value of the open extension.)
Before my try, I have already created my schema extension successfully and creating a calendar event with the schema extension responses an error code "BadRequest" and message "Requests must contain extension changes exclusively".
I tried to do this by following the doc.
POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/calendars/{calendar-group-id}/events
{
"subject": "schema extension test",
"body": {
"contentType": "HTML",
"content": "schema extension test"
},
"start": {
"dateTime": "2021-01-22T12:00:00",
"timeZone": "Eastern Standard Time"
},
"end": {
"dateTime": "2021-01-23T14:00:00",
"timeZone": "Eastern Standard Time"
},
"attendees": [],
"extendedData": {
"courseId": "11",
"materialId": "22",
"courseType": "video"
}
}
response:
{
"error": {
"code": "BadRequest",
"message": "Requests must contain extension changes exclusively.",
"innerError": {
...
}
}
}
Without extendedData, creating the event responses success, and after creating the event, if I patch the event with only extendedData, it responses an error "A type named 'Microsoft.OutlookServices.OpenTypeExtension' could not be resolved by the model. When a model is available, each type name must resolve to a valid type".
PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/calendars/{calendar-group-id}/events/{event-id}
{
"extendedData": {
"courseId": "11",
"materialId": "22",
"courseType": "video"
}
}
response:
{
"error": {
"code": "RequestBodyRead",
"message": "A type named 'Microsoft.OutlookServices.OpenTypeExtension' could not be resolved by the model. When a model is available, each type name must resolve to a valid type.",
"innerError": {
...
}
}
}
I was able to succeed when I used Graph API explorer with signed in user by consent Calendars.Read permission.
But if I try the same thing in postman, it doesn't work.
I already have granted all calendar permissions including delegated and application permissions in Azure.

This is because your schema extension name is not extendedData.
When you use POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/schemaExtensions to create an extension for Event type, the real name will be prefixed.
Like this:
And based on this known issue of Microsoft Graph:
You cannot specify a schema extension in the same operation as
creating an instance of contact, event, message, or post. You must
first create the resource instance and then do a PATCH to that
instance to add a schema extension and custom data.
So we need to create the event first and then update it.
When updating the event, we need to specify the real extension name:

Microsoft Graph API - Create Contact doesn't work

I am attempting to use the Create Contacts endpoint for Microsoft Graph API (Doc is here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-post-contacts?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http) to register new contact for my user. I created body as described in API documentation but getting the error below:
{
"error": {
"code": "Request_BadRequest",
"message": "A value without a type name was found and no expected type is available. When the model is specified, each value in the payload must have a type which can be either specified in the payload, explicitly by the caller or implicitly inferred from the parent value.",

"date": "2020-01-23T14:20:18"
}
}
}
Requests used:
1. POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/{{tenant_id}}/contacts;
2. POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/contacts;
Request body example:
{
"givenName": "Yulia",

}
],
"businessPhones": [
"+1 732 555 0102"

}
Did somebody meet such kind of issue? How you resolved it?
Thank you in advance for your help!
POST request is incorrect here.
It should be :
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/contacts
Also you need to make sure "Contacts.ReadWrite" permission is granted to the app registered in AAD.
P.S: I used the same JSON in your example using graphExplorer and contact was created successfully.

Using Azure AD Graph API to create a User in Azure AD B2C

My application was designed to add a user to my Azure AD B2C using Azure AD Graph API. I also handled the case where I'd be calling the add user graph API with an email ID that already exists in AD. I was looking for the error message in the response body to handle this. Has there been any change w.r.t the response message?
POST
https://graph.windows.net/{tenant}/users?api-version=1.6
Request Body :
{
"accountEnabled": true,
"signInNames": [
{
"type": "EmailAddress",
"value": "TestGraphApiCreatedUser#TestGraphApiCreatedUser.com"
}],
"displayName": "TestGraphApiCreatedUser",
"mailNickname": "TestGraphApiCreatedUser",
"passwordProfile" : {
"forceChangePasswordNextLogin": false,
"password": "vhkjds#fceu456VCHU"
},
"creationType": "LocalAccount",
"passwordPolicies": "DisablePasswordExpiration"
}
If a user already exists with the given email address, the error I was getting earlier was
{
"odata.error": {
"code": "Request_BadRequest",
"message": {
"lang": "en",
"value": "Another object with the same value for property signInName already exists."
}
}
}
Now, for the same flow, I'm getting below error :
{
"odata.error": {
"code": "Request_BadRequest",
"message": {
"lang": "en",
"value": "Another object with the same value for property userPrincipalName already exists."
}
}
}
Is there any difference between the two error messages. Since there isn't any error code, I had hard coded the whole error message. Now that there is a slight change in the message, I've to update my code. How can I handle this in a better way?
I didn't check to confirm if they changed the error message, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if they did. The userPrincipalName may be coming from the underlying AAD, maybe MS changed the B2C implementation and now it exposes an error message from there?
In your particular case, a better option may be to check if the email address exists in B2C just before calling the API to create the new user. It's an extra API call, but it shouldn't matter much unless you're creating many users at a time, e.g. in a batch. You'll still have to handle the user creation call failure, but if it happens you could just return a generic error message.

Unable to create a local account via graph api in Azure B2C

I am trying to create a "LocalAccount" in a B2C domain via the Azure AD Graph API.
To do this I registered an app (via Azure Active Directory -> App registrations (legacy)) and add all permissions for "Windows Azure Active Directory".
The request to create the user is
add_user_json = {
"accountEnabled": True,
"creationType": "LocalAccount",
"signInNames": [{
"type": "emailAddress",
"value": "test#email.com"
},
{
"type": "emailAddress",
"value": "test2#email.com"
}],
"displayName": user_id,
"mailNickname": user_id,
"passwordProfile": {
"password": "aPassword",
"forceChangePasswordNextLogin": "true"
},
"passwordPolicies": "DisablePasswordExpiration"
}
and the endpoint "https://graph.windows.net/{tenant}.onmicrosoft.com/users?api-version=1.6" (I tried "https://graph.windows.net/myorganization/users?api-version=1.6", too).
The error I get is "One or more properties contains invalid values."
Furthermore, if I create a new user via the sign up flow it is possible to create a local account.
Does anybody have an idea what I did wrong?
The "One or more properties contains invalid values." error is occurring because a user object can't have more than one signInName entry of the same type.
There's a really good utility here with the code to help you.
Look at the create example there
One obvious one is:
"forceChangePasswordNextLogin": "true"
This needs to be "false".

Adding a Custom Attribute (Extension) in B2C using Azure AD Graph API doesn't show up in Azure Portal User Attributes blade

The same question was asked here and remains unanswered. I can add a custom attribute as follows:
{
"name": "new_secure_claim",
"dataType": "Boolean",
"targetObjects": ["User"]
}
I post this data to the Azure AD Graph API end point with needed headers:
https://graph.windows.net/{tenant}.onmicrosoft.com/applications/{objectId of b2c-extensions-app}/extensionProperties?api-version=1.6. I get a response with the extension just created. I can even see the extension when I query the graph to get all extensions for the b2c-extensions-app (notice the top one below):
{
"odata.metadata": "https://graph.windows.net/melangeauth.onmicrosoft.com/$metadata#directoryObjects/Microsoft.DirectoryServices.ExtensionProperty",
"value": [{
"odata.type": "Microsoft.DirectoryServices.ExtensionProperty",
"objectType": "ExtensionProperty",

}, {

"targetObjects": ["User"]
}, {
"odata.type": "Microsoft.DirectoryServices.ExtensionProperty",

}, {
"odata.type": "Microsoft.DirectoryServices.ExtensionProperty",

"dataType": "Boolean",
"isSyncedFromOnPremises": false,
"targetObjects": ["User"]
}
]
}
But, when I go to the "Azure AD B2C/User attributes" blade in my B2C directory in the Azure portal (https://portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_AAD_B2CAdmin/TenantManagementMenuBlade/manageUserAttributes), I cannot see that extension attribute. I also cannot see it when I go to add claims to return for a policy.
What do I need to do differently in the adding of a custom extension to the b2c-extensions-app application in order for me to see if in the Azure portal User attributes blade?
Well, hmm.
It gets complicated when people things in an undocumented way. For sake of simplicity I would encourage you to stay with defining your extensions with the portal. If you just want to do that (and seems you want). Because there is much more than just registering an extension with the Graph.
To understand why is that, you have to more deeply understand how B2C ticks from the inside. You get overview when you dive into custom policies. However custom policies are, as it stays in the docs, for identity pros who know what are they doing. Straight to the point, the claims schema is defined in so called base policy. It is not just defined in the Graph, but also backed in the base policy. There is XML schema which dictates what a B2C must do and how it should do it. And all the claims (and custom attributes) are also defined in that schema. So when you change something regarding this schema in the portal (adding new attribute), it is registered with the Graph API, but it is also updated in the claims definition schema, which is kept separately.
That's why when you manually register an extension with the Graph it just does not show up in the portal.
I do not expect that you jump and begin learning Custom policies, because for your case you just do not need them. But I hope that having to define your custom attributes in the portal is not a big of an issue for you.

Google App Engine - Deployment not working

I have a Google App Engine project (an API) working against a Google Cloud SQL instance. I have a exact copy of both, the API and the SQL instance, running local.
When I execute the project on development (local), I can explore the API just fine. Yet, when I go on deployment, all the calls return empty.
This is the API code (Java):
#ApiMethod(
name = "test.users.list",
path = "test/users/list",
httpMethod = "get"
)
public UserList testUserList ()
{
UserList users = UserList.getAll();
return users;
}
This is what it returns local:
{
"users": [
{
"id": "3",
"firstName": "Test",
"lastName": "User",
"email": "test#test.com",
"password": "12fc892642c48a8227410f5b6722e1edeeefedfb",
"logins": 0,
"lastLogin": 0,
"roles": [
{
"id": "1",
"name": "user",
"loaded": true
}
],
"fullName": "Test User",
"admin": false,
"lastLoginDat": "1969-12-31T21:00:00.000-03:00",
"loaded": true
},
{
"id": "6",
"firstName": "Test",
"lastName": "User 2",
"email": "test2#test.com",
"password": "c5bc2a33ddffcfb3d61779ab44d7d933e1336b02",
"logins": 0,
"lastLogin": 0,
"fullName": "Test User 2",
"admin": false,
"lastLoginDat": "1969-12-31T21:00:00.000-03:00",
"loaded": true
}
]
}
This is what it returns on the server explorer:
{
"kind": "myapp#usersItem",
"etag": "\"l4AE0sdQvyB-SkumpjWQFJVUZzo/MSGC-asdfasdf\""
}
Some insight:
I have access (through MySQL Workbench) to the local SQL instance and the Google Cloud SQL external instance.
Both, local and external SQL instances, are equal to each other.
I've also guaranteed access to the project I'm using to hit the DB (trough the Google Cloud panel).
I don't really know what to do or check. I've searched for something similar but couldn't find anything related.
Any thought is appreciated.
As Jan pointed out, GAE local and production are two separate stories. But I'm gonna give you something even better than this particular solution, which is the tools to resolve this and further problems:
1. Go to Console > Compute > App Engine > Versions, and make sure the backend version you uploaded is the right one (take a look at the time it was uploaded) and is selected or default.
2. Create an API test method that does a rather basic operation against the DB, but without calling other methods nor using try/catch blocks. You're trying to raise a exception here, if any. All the code you need to hit the DB and return the data should be inside that method.
3. Go to the explorer panel, and execute your test method. If it works, then your problem is not in the connection, but in the logic. Use the same approach of (2) to test the logic.
4. If the method doesn't work, go to: Console > Monitoring > Logs. There you'll find the exception trace.
