How can we change the default timeout setting for CallWebApiForAppAsync method in Microsoft.Identity.Web.IDownstreamWebApi. I couldn't find any settings in the requests parameters for this method that can do that.

Gareth Brown 0 Reputation points2023-11-09T18:33:18.3866667+00:00 Bump this - we can use Polly to handle transient errors but if we have long running API calls we can't get around the 100s default.

For anyone interested, you can set the timeout of the HttpClient using an extension method when you register it, as described here: https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-identity-web/issues/2378#issuecomment-1737687999
Extension Method:
public static MicrosoftIdentityAppCallsWebApiAuthenticationBuilder UseHttpClientTimeout(this MicrosoftIdentityAppCallsWebApiAuthenticationBuilder builder, string serviceName, TimeSpan timeout) { builder.Services.AddHttpClient(serviceName, client => { client.Timeout = timeout; }); return builder; }In Program.cs when registering the downstream api:
services.AddAuthentication(OpenIdConnectDefaults.AuthenticationScheme) .AddMicrosoftIdentityWebApp(configuration.GetSection("AzureAd")) .EnableTokenAcquisitionToCallDownstreamApi(initialScopes). .AddDownstreamApi("MyService", configuration.GetSection("MyApi")) .UseHttpClientTimeout("MyService", TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1))This doesn't give any way to have different timeouts per request, but it's better than nothing.
