Graph Get Email

Question

Graph Get Email

SSinhg 316

Hi,

Begineer's quesiton on Graph API

I am trying to get emails and attachment from O365

My admin has already registered the application.
Everyone within Org has read access
Can I generate token silently (by providing user id and pwd. later continue using it?)? or It should come from admin?

What is authProvider in this example, sample code below?

> GraphServiceClient graphClient = new GraphServiceClient( authProvider );

> 

> var messages = await graphClient.Me.Messages

>   .Request()

>   .GetAsync();

I have application id from azure portal, whatelse would I need to get this going
Apprecite any help on these lines.

This code snippet means that you are getting all mail information in the logged in user's mailbox.

This is your authentication flow, such as whether you get the token via the client credentials flow or the auth code flow.

The microsoft identity platform supports the OAuth 2.0 Resource Owner Password Credentials(ROPC) grant, which allows an application to sign in the user by directly handling their password.

Here is the documentation for your reference:

Thanks @CarlZhao-MSFT

I have not moved an inch :(

Code suggested here doesn't work i.e. ClientCredentialProvider is unknow and errors out as pointed out here
I don't have a token so the question is can I generate using my id and password?

Also here, this doc say I need token

Hi @SSinhg , Here is the code flow:

var scopes = new[] { "User.Read" };  
  
// Multi-tenant apps can use "common",  
// single-tenant apps must use the tenant ID from the Azure portal  
var tenantId = "common";  
  
// Value from app registration  
var clientId = "YOUR_CLIENT_ID";  
  
// using Azure.Identity;  
var options = new TokenCredentialOptions  
{  
    AuthorityHost = AzureAuthorityHosts.AzurePublicCloud  
};  
  
var userName = "******@contoso.com";  
var password = "P@ssword1!";  
  
// https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/azure.identity.usernamepasswordcredential  
var userNamePasswordCredential = new UsernamePasswordCredential(  
    userName, password, tenantId, clientId, options);  
  
var graphClient = new GraphServiceClient(userNamePasswordCredential, scopes);

Thanks @Zehui Yao_MSFT
Below is the error i got after executing your code

I am using same login id and pwd that I would use for AD verification.

UsernamePasswordCredential authentication failed: Response status code does not indicate success: 407 (ProxyAuthenticationRequired).

Are your users MFA enabled? ROPC flow is not supported for users with MFA enabled.

I stumbled over this arcticle and realised it not as straight forward as it seems :)

Thanks everyone for help - Now i am considering a Power Automate Approach.

Why don't you use auth code flow? It supports MFA. If you use auth code flow I can provide you the code.
