Azure AD graph api working on local but fails when deployed

Question

I tried graphapi code from https://github.com/Azure-Samples/active-directory-dotnet-graphapi-console/tree/master/GraphConsoleAppV3. It worked on my local system. On local machine it pops up a window and ask for login. But When I deployed the application to azure web portal, it failed at the point where it gets the token sing Itenent.

"Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component" [COMException (0x80004005): Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.]

I think this is searching token from local system. Is my token retrieving option related to windows or web? Any suggestion on code changes.

How can I replace this application to work when deployed. I think if we can change the ITenantDetail tenantDetail = GetTenantDetailsSync(client, UserModeConstants.TenantId); code to one which gets info from user, this should work on web also.

private static ActiveDirectoryClient client;
client = AuthenticationHelper.GetActiveDirectoryClientAsUser();
ITenantDetail tenantDetail = GetTenantDetailsSync(client, UserModeConstants.TenantId);



 public static ITenantDetail GetTenantDetailsSync(IActiveDirectoryClient client, string tenantId)
    {
        ITenantDetail tenant = null;
        try
        {
            IPagedCollection<ITenantDetail> tenantsCollection = client.TenantDetails
                .Where(tenantDetail => tenantDetail.ObjectId.Equals(tenantId)).ExecuteAsync().Result;

            List<ITenantDetail> tenantsList = tenantsCollection.CurrentPage.ToList();

            if (tenantsList.Count > 0)
            {
                tenant = tenantsList.First();
            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
        }

        if (tenant == null)
        {
            return null;
        }
        else
        {
            TenantDetail tenantDetail = (TenantDetail)tenant;
            return tenantDetail;
        }
    }



public static ActiveDirectoryClient GetActiveDirectoryClientAsUser()
        {
            Uri servicePointUri = new Uri(GlobalConstants.ResourceUrl);
            Uri serviceRoot = new Uri(servicePointUri, UserModeConstants.TenantId);
            ActiveDirectoryClient activeDirectoryClient = new ActiveDirectoryClient(serviceRoot,
                async () => await AcquireTokenAsyncForUser());
            return activeDirectoryClient;
        }

public static async Task<string> AcquireTokenAsyncForUser()
        {
            return await GetTokenForUser();
        }

public static async Task<string> GetTokenForUser()
        {
            if (TokenForUser == null)
            {
                var redirectUri = new Uri("https://localhost");
                AuthenticationContext authenticationContext = new AuthenticationContext(UserModeConstants.AuthString, false);
                AuthenticationResult userAuthnResult = await authenticationContext.AcquireTokenAsync(GlobalConstants.ResourceUrl,
                    UserModeConstants.ClientId, redirectUri, new PlatformParameters(PromptBehavior.RefreshSession));
                TokenForUser = userAuthnResult.AccessToken;
            }
            return TokenForUser;
        }

Answer 1

The Active Directory Authentication Library using in the code sample is help developers to use authentication functionality for your .NET client on various platforms including Windows desktop, Windows Store, Xamarin iOS and Xamarin Android.

If you were developing an web app, please refer the code sample active-directory-dotnet-webapp-openidconnect. And if you also want to use the Azure AD graph API in the web app, you can refer the code sample active-directory-dotnet-graphapi-web.

Microsoft also provide lots of samples to develop with Azure, you can find them from the below link:
