Got error when trying to get access token in nodejs using azure, AADSTS50058: A silent sign-in request was sent but no user is signed in

Question

I am trying to implement azure login in nodejs scheduler app, and then want to upload file to share point.
First i need to login, then get access token,refresh token, admin access token etc.
When i try to get access token , i got error like this.
Here no use of any front end.

URL= 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/' + TENANT_ID + '/oauth2/token',
Status Code Error: 400 -
"{"error":"invalid_grant","error_description":"AADSTS50058: A silent sign-in request was sent but no user is signed in.\r\nTrace ID: 05db5c6a-155c-4870-9bca-a518b5931900\r\nCorrelation ID: 1e8372d0-c1ba-4070-88d7-597e9cb5cb2c\r\nTimestamp: 2019-08-14 12:04:42Z","error_codes":[50058],"timestamp":"2019-08-14 12:04:42Z","trace_id":"05db5c6a-155c-4870-9bca-a518b5931900","correlation_id":"1e8372d0-c1ba-4070-88d7-597e9cb5cb2c","error_uri":"https://login.microsoftonline.com/error?code=50058\"}"

Here the code

async function init(parsedBody) {

console.log("jwtToken:",jwtToken)
const config = {

const result = JSON.parse(parsedBody);
console.log("****************************************** result", result)

      resolve(result.access_token);
    })
    .catch((error) => {

    });
} catch (error) {

});
}

I have no idea about azure login without front end. I want to login in azure and upload file to share point in scheduler app in node.

First i need to login by using client id and secret. then i got bearer token. then i want to get access token by using bearer token. At that time i get error like this.

Why don't you get the access token this way(client credentials flow)?

const request = require("request");

const endpoint =
  "https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant}/oauth2/token";
const requestParams = {
  grant_type: "client_credentials",
  client_id: "",
  client_secret: "",
  resource: "https://mydomain.sharepoint.com"
};

request.post({ url: endpoint, form: requestParams }, function(
  err,
  response,
  body
) {
  if (err) {
    console.log("error");
  } else {
    console.log("Body=" + body);
    let parsedBody = JSON.parse(body);
    if (parsedBody.error_description) {
      console.log("Error=" + parsedBody.error_description);
    } else {
      console.log("Access Token=" + parsedBody.access_token);
    }
  }
});

If you need the access token which contains login user message, you can use ROPC flow.

const request = require("request");

const endpoint =
  "https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant}/oauth2/token";

const requestParams = {
  grant_type: "password",
  username: "",
  password: "",
  client_id: "",
  resource: "https://mydomain.sharepoint.com"
};

request.post({ url: endpoint, form: requestParams }, function(
  err,
  response,
  body
) {
  if (err) {
    console.log("error");
  } else {
    console.log("Body=" + body);
    let parsedBody = JSON.parse(body);
    if (parsedBody.error_description) {
      console.log("Error=" + parsedBody.error_description);
    } else {
      console.log("Access Token=" + parsedBody.access_token);
    }
  }
});
