Building MSAL.NET applications on Linux

Create a console app for linux testing. Right now, it tests #2839.

class Program
    {
        public static string ClientID = "your client id"; //msidentity-samples-testing tenant
        public static string[] Scopes = { "User.Read" };
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");

            var pcaBuilder = PublicClientApplicationBuilder.Create(ClientID)
                .WithRedirectUri("http://localhost")
                .Build();

            AcquireTokenInteractiveParameterBuilder atparamBuilder = pcaBuilder.AcquireTokenInteractive(Scopes);

            AuthenticationResult authenticationResult = atparamBuilder.ExecuteAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult();
            System.Console.WriteLine(authenticationResult.AccessToken);
        }
    }

How to setup

On an Ubuntu machine

• Download VS Code
• Copy the files from the download folder to an "App" folder.
• Download the NuGet package in ~/LocalNuget folder.

How to build

From the VS Code terminal:

• Go to the "App" folder
• Run command dotnet add package Microsoft.Identity.Client --prerelease -s ~/LocalNuget This will add the latest package to the project
• Run command dotnet build This will build the app in debug mode

How to run

From the PowerShell terminal:

• Got to app/bin/Debug/net6 folder.
• Run dotnet TestApp.dll. This runs the app.
• To test in sudo mode, run the following command sudo dotnet TestApp.dll
