IdentityModel SetBearerToken System

Question

Windows Service application using .net 4.7 and IdentityModel. It is a windows service: it works perfectly on my machine (windows 10) but not on windows server 2008 r2.

    public async Task<bool> ConnectAsync()
    {
        bool retValue = true;

        try
        {
            var client = new DiscoveryClient(FileWatcherDefinitions.PortalBaseAddress);
            var doc = await client.GetAsync();

            retValue = !doc.IsError;

            if (retValue)
            {
                var result = doc.TokenEndpoint;
                var tokenClient = new TokenClient(doc.TokenEndpoint, 
                    FileWatcherDefinitions.PortalClientName, 
                    FileWatcherDefinitions.PortalClientPassword);
                var tokenResponse = await tokenClient.RequestClientCredentialsAsync(FileWatcherDefinitions.PortalWebApiResource);

                retValue = !tokenResponse.IsError;

                if (retValue)
                {
                    _httpClient = new HttpClient();
                    _httpClient.SetBearerToken(tokenResponse.AccessToken);
                    // _httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new System.Net.Http.Headers.AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", tokenResponse.AccessToken);
                }
            }
        }
        catch(Exception exc)
        {
            retValue = false;
        }

        return retValue;
    }

I've already seen Precompiled Azure Function throwing error on HttpClientExtensions.SetBearerToken use, CSX doesn't but it does not resolve my problem: if i use that solution i get another exception.

Answer 1

You might be missing the following using directive.

using IdentityModel.Client;

It's available in the IdentityModel NuGet, which you install in the following way.

dotnet add package IdentityModel
