Is is possible to obtain an AAD token in Postman by letting the user to Sign In using the standard AAD sign in form?
I know how to obtain token using the request to AAD (grant_type = client_credentials) but such a token does not have a UPN (user identity).
I would like to somehow type in my credentials in Postman and get the token. So it is a manual interaction, the user(me) needs to manually sign in - the same way how ie. Visual Studio verifies your identity.
Postman now offers the ability to "Authorize using browser." You'll need to make changes to your AAD application to support it in addition to configuring Postman.
Configure your AAD application
Add a redirect URI to your AAD application for Postman to receive the authorization code. In the AAD Portal, navigate to your app registration, then to the "Authentication" tab, then add https://oauth.pstmn.io/v1/callback as a new redirect URI. This URI was provided by Postman when you check the ✅ Authorize using browser box (below) and is also documented on their website.
Configure Postman
You can set this up under "Authorization" for a single request, a folder of requests, or a Collection. Open the "Authorization" tab and select OAuth 2.0. Under the "Configure New Token" section, enter the following information:
Token Name: anything you want. I chose the name of the AAD application.
Grant Type: Authorization Code (With PKCE)
Callback URL: check the ✅ Authorize using browser box
Auth URL: copy this from the AAD portal under Overview > Endpoints (on top bar) > OAuth 2.0 authorization endpoint (v2). Mine looks like https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant>/oauth2/v2.0/authorize
Access token URL: copy this from the AAD portal under Overview > Endpoints (on top bar) > OAuth 2.0 token endpoint (v2). Mine looks like https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant>/oauth2/v2.0/token
Client ID: copy this from the AAD portal under Overview. It's also commonly referred to as an "Application ID" and is a GUID.
Client Secret: leave blank (not used by this grant type)
Code Challenge Method: SHA-256
Code Verifier: leave blank or provide your own
Scope: the scopes you're requesting in your token, separated by spaces
State: leave blank or provide a value such as a random GUID.
Client Authentication: Send as Basic Auth Header (not used by this grant type)
Refer to Postman's documentation on OAuth 2.0 options for more information.
Get a token
Click Get New Access Token to open the auth flow in your machine's default web browser. After authentication, it should redirect back to the Postman application and a new token will be created with the name you provided earlier for "Token Name." Select "Use Token" in the top-right corner of the popup to copy it into your current token. If the token expires and your requests start failing authorization (probably a 401 or 403 error), you can revisit this tab and get a new access token.
Occasionally, you may want to visit Current Token > Access Token > Manage Tokens > Delete > Expired tokens, otherwise you'll be inundated with nearly-identical tokens.
Postman cannot popup the sign in page as it only does HTTP requests. As you stated, it can do confidential client flows.
What you could do is hand-construct an auth request, sign in, and grab the auth code. Then take that auth code and drop it into the Postman authorization form, and let it hit the Azure AD token endpoint:
https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/token
The Azure AD protocol referene will be super helpful for you.
I think if you're wanting to quickly generate Access Tokens your best bet is to pick a framework/language and build a lightweight app that gets and logs tokens. Azure AD has a Python Flask sample for the v2 endpoint that takes 5 minutes to setup and could be converted to printing out access tokens. If you want to use v1, you can checkout the list of samples at the Azure AD developer guide.

When accessing /.auth/me, one app has the access_token in the correct JWT format, but in the other app it's not in JWT format.
This is the valid JWT one: eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJu...eyJhdWQiOiJodHRwczov...B84ciSKwF2oOre5n
This is the non-JWT one: PAQABAAAAAAD--DLA3VO7QrddgJg7WevrTLy
The configuration for both apps appear to be identical.
Any idea how to fix the second app to also show JWT access token?
Usually when the authentication flow configuration has not included resource
as one of the parameter, the access token does not have form of a (
JSON Web Token)JWT token token format.
Please try to include resource with your application Id Uri or
resource that your application requires . To find the App ID URI, in
the Azure portal, click Azure Active Directory, click App
registrations, click the service application, and then click Settings
and Properties.
Also set the clientId and client secret in the request.
In other cases just to access the app service you could use id_token or Bearer as response_type in authorization header as Authorization:Bearer "{your-id-token}".
Reference:Oauth 2.0 grant credentials ,Access token request | Microsoft Docs
You can make use of azure resource explorer to edit the properties of the app service auth to include the resource if not already included. See resource provider and types
To get an access token, please try to set the resource using the Azure Resource Explorer.
Navigate to the Resource Explorer from the App Service.
Go to config > authsettings and click on Edit.
Update the additionalLoginParams with ["resource=<Name/ID of the resource>"] and click on PUT.
For example:
“additionalLoginParams”: [
“resource=https://graph.microsoft.com ”
]
Then by saving changes and refreshing the App Service, try again and check that the value for the access token is in the form of a JWT token or not.
I have developed SPFX application with Azure AD SSO is enabled. It is also connecting to web api using bearer token generated using ADAL OAuth2 implicit flow along with SPFX SSO access token. This is working fine.
I want to test the webapi using Postman. Currently i am copying bearer token from developer tool of browser and send it in header to connect webapi.
I want to automate the above 2 steps, so that i can do automate user testing scenario.
1.Generate AZURE AD SSO access token from C#/postman by passing user credentials. (Postman/React/C#)
2.Generate bearer token using Access Token generated from step-1.(Postman/React/C#).
I want to automate the above steps using Postman/C#/angular/react.
Kindly provide me the detailed steps to achieve the above scenario for testing.

I have tested in my environment.
Open Postman --> Create a new request --> Go to Authorization --> Select Type as OAuth 2.0 --> Under Configure New Token, fill the details :
Token Name : give the token name
Grant Type : Implicit
Callback URL : redirect uri of your app registration
Auth URL : https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize
Client ID : Client ID of your app registration
Scope : add scope as per the permissions required. For ex: https://graph.microsoft.com/mail.read, for reading mails
Client Authentication : send as Basic Auth Header
Click on Get New Access Token and login with user credentials and give consent. A new Bearer Token will be generated
Click on Use Token. Now we can make any requests using that token.
I'm trying to get Bing ads spends from my firm. According to the Microsoft documentation, I understood that it's mandatory to use Microsoft Azure portal, get developer_token, client_id, tenant_id, client_secret, and access/refresh token to download the csv files with the data I want.
So, this is what I did:
I've received an invitation from my firm to Microsoft advertising onto this email adress:
abc#myfirm.fr, and I've generated my developer token.
With this email address, I've created a web application onto Microsoft Azure portal, which allow all king of users. Getting client_id, tenant_id, and generated a client_secret.
The redirect URL that I have chosen is http://localhost (according to the documentation but not sure this is the good URL to choose).
With Postman, I have tried with this endpoint:
https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize
and the params (previously obtained) needed for the OAuth 2.0 authentication to get my access token. Without success.
The issue is here.
When I request the access token, a new browser window opens, and asks for an email address on which to authenticate. I'm using my email address abc#myfirm.fr and I received authentication completed onto Postman but into the response body I have access_token: invalid.
The role of my account is super admin.
So I'm trying to authenticate with a professional Microsoft Azure Account and this time I received into the browser Invalid redirect url.
I have also tried to start all over again with different email address, like my personal email address, or with the email address of the creator of the Microsoft Advertising account, and I get the error contact your system Admin into the browser.
I have also tried with the Python SDK project given in the documentation, with the error message.
I must have forgotten or misunderstood something.
Should we use the same email address (or same account) on Microsoft Advertising, on Microsoft Azure, and when obtaining the access token?
Do you have to pay and take an Azure subscription? (Already done but without success)
Thanks in advance, sorry for my English.
EDIT:
Thank for ypur reply. The full request is: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize with the following params:
-type: OAuth 2.0
-Header Prefix: Bearer
-Grant Type: Authorization Code
-Callback URL: https://localhost
-Auth URL: https://login.microsoftonline.com/{my-tenant_id}/oauth2/v2.0/authorize
-Access Token URL: https://login.microsoftonline.com/{my-tenant_id}/oauth2/v2.0/token
-my client id
-my client secret
-scope: https://ads.microsoft.com/ads.manage OR also testing with https://graph.microsoft.com/User.Read
-State: None
-Client authentication: send client credentials in body
Give me an access_token but when I click on use token and send the request, I'm not getting an refresh token
Once a user provides consent, you can get an access token and act on behalf of the user.
So when the browser session starts, you should enter your Microsoft Advertising credentials.
Remember to set scope=https://ads.microsoft.com/ads.manage in the request for acquiring the authorization code.
If you prefer to automate this process, you can refer to this script and steps to obtain an access token.
I get an authorization 401 error code when I try to delete a Group from the API in C# but if I try it in postman it succeeds. Feels kinda weird because I run the same command but it doesn't work...
The problem I think I have is that to DELETE a group in Office 365 I need to login to my account and that the application can't makes this action.
I gave all Group.ReadWrite.All access and all other permissions for the application. So I think I need to pass my Login credentials for Azure AD or am I incorrect.
Request :
StatusCode: 401,
ReasonPhrase: 'Unauthorized',
Version: 1.1,
Content: System.Net.Http.NoWriteNoSeekStreamContent,
Headers:
EDIT
I tried to not use my GetAccessToken() and use the token I got when using OAUTH 2.0 verification in Postman. If I took that bearer token I had no problem running my script and using DELETE.
So my question what the difference of using ADAL in C# code and the call that Postman Auth2.0. When using Postman I get a login page where I login to my Azure account, can I replicate this in code? For the authentication in C# I use this example.
NEW EDIT
As one wrote in the chat, I checked the access token and what roles I had on a website.
roles: [
"EduRoster.Read.All",
"Mail.ReadWrite",
"User.ReadWrite.All",
"Calendars.Read",
"People.Read.All",
"Group.Read.All",
"Directory.ReadWrite.All",
"MailboxSettings.Read",
"Contacts.ReadWrite",
"Group.ReadWrite.All",
"Notes.Read.All",
"Directory.Read.All",
"User.Read.All",
"Mail.Read",
"Calendars.ReadWrite",
"Mail.Send",
"MailboxSettings.ReadWrite",
"Contacts.Read",
"Member.Read.Hidden",
"Notes.ReadWrite.All"]
Some clarification: If you have a token and it doesn't have the necessary claims/permissions to make the API call you are trying, you'll should get a 403 Forbidden. If the token is missing in the API request or malformed, you'll get a 401 Unauthorized. Please see https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/concepts/errors.
Are you making direct HTTP REST calls to Graph, or are you using the client library? I suggest that you look at some of our samples to get started for examples of token acquisition together with calls to Microsoft Graph. Try https://github.com/microsoftgraph/console-csharp-snippets-sample (uses a .Net client library) or https://github.com/microsoftgraph/aspnet-connect-rest-sample (uses direct HTTP REST calls).
Also are you acquiring a token in the context of a (signed-in) user, or in the context of the application (no signed in user)? If the former, you need to request a "delegated" permission. If the latter, you need to request an "application" permission. Please see these concepts: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/concepts/auth_v2_user and https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/concepts/auth_v2_service
Hope this helps,
You're on the right track.
The Delete Group method support both Delegated (Authorization Code or Implicit OAUTH grants) and Application (Client Credentials OAUTH grant) models. Both Delegated and Application flows require the Group.ReadWrite.All scope.
The reason you're getting a 401 Unauthorized error is that your application hasn't received Admin Consent for the tenant you're connected too. When using Client Credentials there is no User to authenticate so before your application can interact with the tenant, an Admin must first explicitly authorize your application and the scopes you're requesting.
You can find a walk through at v2 Endpoint and Admin Consent.
I have a Angular + Spring boot single page web app. The server also acts as an Auth Server which issues tokens for the angular app to use to make Restful API calls.
My old login flow uses a grant_type=password POST call to the /oauth/token endpoint to get a Bearer token. And all further API calls on behalf of the user will include the Bearer token as the "Authorization" http header.
Now I need to integrate social login (facebook, twitter, etc.), which means I don't have username/password to generate tokens so I'm not sure how to make it work.
I have been using the following two tutorials as my template:
Spring Security and Angular JS
Spring Boot and OAuth
In the first tutorial's oauth-vanilla example, the username passwork login flow brings up the authorization page. But I'd like to have the traditional username/password form login experience (log user in directly instead of showing the Authorization page).
In the second tutorial, after facebook login, I'd like to use the facebook id to look up my internal user database and create a new user if not exist and logs him in as the user. And use the internal db user's identity and authorities to authorize future API calls to my API server.
I have a stripped down sample at at
https://github.com/dingquan/spring-angular-oauth
I can make POST calls to /oauth/token endpoint and use the returned token to make further api calls to my protected /api/blogs endpoint. But I haven't figure out how to make the following things work:
Username/password login that will create a session cookie so I don't need to send the Authorization bearer token for future API calls to the resource endpoint
After facebook login (the facebook login link is under the username/password login form), calls to my endpoint still fails with 401 error (I have a "test" button that makes a get call to /api/blogs, you can click on it to see the behavior). So what am I missing to make the API call succeed?
=== UPDATE ===
Just to clarify. Here are the goals I'm trying to achieve:
multiple ways of authentication (traditional username/password, third party oauth login such as facebook, possibly cellphone number + SMS code in the future)
we do need our own user model backed by DB to store other user attributes, pure social login is not enough
social login needs to be implicit. Meaning user should not be required to create a user account in our system manually once they login through a 3rd party (facebook, etc.). We're not just grabbing users' social profile data to pre-populate the registration form. We want to create new DB users automatically behind the scene if no existing db user is associated with the given external social account. i.e. if user is logged in through facebook, they don't need to enter username/password. Authentication through facebook will automatically log the user into our system as well and user should be able to access restricted resources after facebook login.
There's some confusion that I might be asking people to put their facebook username/password in a login form hosted by my app and I'll login facebook on behalf of the user. That's not what I was asking for.
You don't need such a complicated configuration. Add #EnableOAuth2Sso to your MainConfiguration and set appropriate application properties.
Here is what I have done in order to use Facebook as a authorization server.
a) Remove clientId and authServer from UserServiceImpl. Otherwise you'll be forced to configure an authorization server that is not needed.
b) Remove AuthorizationServerConfiguration completely.
c) Add #EnableWebSecurity and #EnableOAuth2Sso to your MainConfiguration.
d) Change MainConfiguration::configure to
http
.logout().logoutSuccessUrl("/").permitAll().and()
.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/", "/login", "/home.html").permitAll()
.anyRequest().authenticated()
.and().csrf().csrfTokenRepository(CookieCsrfTokenRepository.withHttpOnlyFalse());
e) Delete everything else except nested class AuthenticationSecurity from MainConfiguration.
f) Change ResourceServerConfiguration::configure(HttpSecurity) to
http.antMatcher("/api/**").authorizeRequests().anyRequest().authenticated();
f) Remove attribute tokenStore and method ResourceServerConfiguration::configure(ResourceServerSecurityConfigurer) from ResourceServerConfiguration.
g) Remove configuration block security and facebook from application.yml. Instead add this
security:
oauth2:
client:
client-id: <CLIENT_ID>
token-name: oauth_token
authentication-scheme: query
client-authentication-scheme: form
access-token-uri: https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token
user-authorization-uri: https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth
resource:
user-info-uri: https://graph.facebook.com/me
client-id: <CLIENT_ID>
client-secret: <CLIENT_SECRET>
token-type: code
h) In index.html change login to login.
i) Replace the content of hello.js with this one.
But I'd like to have the traditional username/password form login experience (log user in directly instead of showing the Authorization page).
I would never use a site that requires my credentials without redirecting me to the origin! I don't know you and you are under suspicion being a phishing site.
You should really reconsider your decision.
Btw, I created a pull request with these changes.
