Get bearer token for azure management api using data factory web activity

Raj D 616

Hi, I am trying to use the Azure management api to GET pipeline run information for a data factory pipeline using Web Activity. To achieve this I am doing a POST to grab the bearer token using the details below.

URL:     https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize  
METHOD:  POST  
HEADERS: Content-Type = application/x-www-form-urlencoded  
BODY:    grant_type=client_credentials&client_id={id}&client_secret={secret}&resource=https://management.azure.com

JSON Response:

{  
    "Response": "",  
    "ADFWebActivityResponseHeaders": {  
        "Pragma": "",  
        "Strict-Transport-Security": "",  
        "X-Content-Type-Options": "",  
        "X-Frame-Options": "",  
        "Link": "",  
        "X-DNS-Prefetch-Control": "",  
        "x-ms-request-id": "",  
        "x-ms-ests-server": "",  
        "Cache-Control": "",  
        "P3P": "",  
        "Set-Cookie": "",  
        "Date": "",  
        "Content-Length": "",  
        "Content-Type": "",  
        "Expires": ""  
    },  
    "effectiveIntegrationRuntime": "",  
    "executionDuration": 0,  
    "durationInQueue": {  
        "integrationRuntimeQueue": 1  
    },  
    "billingReference": {  
        "activityType": "",  
        "billableDuration": [  
            {  
                "meterType": "",  
                "duration": 0.1,  
                "unit": "Hours"  
            }  
        ]  
    }  
}

I looked at the this example too. But, In my response I don't see anything related to token. Authentication is done using Service Principal. Am I missing something silly in here?

Thank you in advance.

Yes @svijay-MSFT - It works like charm. Now while getting the output, the expire time is 3599 seconds i.e one hour, but what if my job takes more time than that.

Hello @Raj D ,

Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

Can you please use the below URL and see whether this resolves your issue ?

https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenantid>/oauth2/token

instead of

https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize

Then tenant id would be id of the tenant in which the app is registered. If I am not wrong, for service principal authentication - you will not be able provide common

Hi @svijay-MSFT , Thanks very much for your response. I am now able to get the bearer token for authorization. But, When I try to do the GET method for the pipeline run I run into one of the following errors.

AADSTS700016	UnauthorizedClient_DoesNotMatchRequest - The application wasn't found in the directory/tenant. This can happen if the application has not been installed by the administrator of the tenant or consented to by any user in the tenant. You might have misconfigured the identifier value for the application or sent your authentication request to the wrong tenant.  
  
{"error":{"code":"AuthenticationFailedInvalidHeader","message":"Authentication failed. The 'Authorization' header is provided in an invalid format."}}

When I try it out from some client application like Postman everything works as expected.

Hello @Raj D ,

Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

The above activity is after receiving the Bearer Token. If my understanding is correct, You can set the authentication to None.

You can issue the request with the Bearer token you have obtained.
