I'm trying to build a feature where a client application retrieves the graph resources via WebAPI layer. The scenario has following applications:
- Angular5 Client application
- ASP.Net Core Web API
The Angular5 client application uses MSAL to authenticate against application (resisted as Converged application via apps.dev.microsoft.com registration application; AAD v2 endpoint). The authentication flow defines the Web API as scope while login or getting access token
constructor() {
var logger = new Msal.Logger((logLevel, message, piiEnabled) =>
{
console.log(message);
},
{ level: Msal.LogLevel.Verbose, correlationId: '12345' });
this.app = new Msal.UserAgentApplication(
CONFIGSETTINGS.clientId,
null,
this.authCallback,
{
redirectUri: window.location.origin,
cacheLocation: 'localStorage',
logger: logger
}
);
}
public getAPIAccessToken() {
return this.app.acquireTokenSilent(CONFIGSETTINGS.scopes).then(
accessToken => {
return accessToken;
},
error => {
return this.app.acquireTokenSilent(CONFIGSETTINGS.scopes).then(
accessToken => {
return accessToken;
},
err => {
console.error(err);
}
);
}
);
}
Here scope is defined as scopes: ['api://<<guid of application>>/readAccess']. This is the exact value which was generated when I've registered the Web API in registeration portal. Also, the client application id is added as Pre-authorized applications 
.
The Web API layer (built in dotnet core -- and uses JwtBearer to validate the authentication), defines the API which internally fetches the graph resources (using HttpClient). To get the access token, I've used following code
public async Task<string> GetAccesToken(string resourceName)
{
var userAssertion = this.GetUserAssertion();
string upn = GetLoggedInUpn();
var userTokenCache = new SessionTokenCache(upn, new Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Memory.MemoryCache(new MemoryCacheOptions())).GetCacheInstance();
string msGraphScope = "https://graph.microsoft.com/User.Read";
string authority = string.Format("https://login.microsoftonline.com/{0}/v2.0", this.authConfig.TenantId);
ConfidentialClientApplication clientApplication = new ConfidentialClientApplication(this.authConfig.ClientId, authority, new ClientCredential(this.authConfig.AppKey), userTokenCache, null);
var result = await clientApplication.AcquireTokenOnBehalfOfAsync(new string[] { msGraphScope }, userAssertion);
return result != null ? result.AccessToken : null;
}
private UserAssertion GetUserAssertion()
{
string token = this.httpContextAccessor.HttpContext.Request.Headers["Authorization"];
string upn = GetLoggedInUpn();
if (token.StartsWith("Bearer", true, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture))
{
token = token.Trim().Substring("Bearer".Length).Trim();
return new UserAssertion(token, "urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer");
}
else
{
throw new Exception($"ApiAuthService.GetUserAssertion() failed: Invalid Authorization token");
}
}
Note here, The method AcquireTokenOnBehalfOfAsync is used to get the access token using graph scope. However it throws the following exception:
AADSTS65001: The user or administrator has not consented to use the application with ID '<>' named '<>'. Send an interactive authorization request for this user and resource.
I'm not sure why the of-behalf flow for AAD v2 is not working even when client application uses the Web API as scope while fetching access token and Web API registers the client application as the pre-authorized application.
Note - I've tried using the other methods of ConfidentialClientApplication but even those did not work.
Can someone please point out how the above flow can work without providing the admin consent on Web API?
