Resource Owner Flow Authorization Example
This examples below provide code for getting an access token using the Resource Owner flow.
Prerequisites
- Create a new API client – you must have an existing API client that uses the Resource Owner flow
Code Examples
C#
using System; using System.Net.Http; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace HotDocsAdvanceApiExamples { public class ResourceOwnerAuthorization { // These are the credentials required for retrieving an access token using the resource owner flow. // You will replace these credentials with those for a client you create yourself, // using the Advance Client Management Application. See the API help guide for more information. private string clientName = "ab3e4544-b595-4681-b0ea-c7c18c9b63f6"; private string servicePrincipalName = "ExampleServicePrincipalA"; private string servicePrincipalPassword = "examplePassword";
public async Task<string> GetResourceOwnerToken() { // Create the access token request var request = CreateHttpRequestMessage();
//Send token request to Advance using (var client = new HttpClient()) { var response = await client.SendAsync(request);
// Return the retrieved access token return response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result; } }
private HttpRequestMessage CreateHttpRequestMessage() { var tokenUrl = string.Format("https://yourtenancy.yourorganization.com/HdaAuth/Authorize/ServicePrincipalLogIn");
return new HttpRequestMessage { RequestUri = new Uri(tokenUrl), Method = HttpMethod.Post, Content = GetRequestContent() }; }
private StringContent GetRequestContent() { var json = "{" + string.Format("'ClientName' : '{0}', 'PrincipalName' : '{1}', 'PrincipalPassword' : '{2}'", clientName, servicePrincipalName, servicePrincipalPassword) + "}"; return new StringContent(json, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json"); } } }
Powershell
$body = @{ ClientName = "ExampleClientA" PrincipalName = "ExampleServicePrincipalA" PrincipalPassword = "examplePassword" } | ConvertTo-Json
$header = @{ "Accept"="application/json" "Content-Type"="application/json" }
$result = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://yourtenancy.yourorganization.com/HdaAuth/Authorize/ServicePrincipalLogIn" -Method 'Post' -Body $body -Headers $header
Write-Host $result
