Create an application

Learn the steps that must be performed to produce an application resource.

Applies to: Skype for Business 2015

Let's walk through the steps of creating an application. These steps include discovering a user's home server, authenticating the user, and creating the application. Discovery is the act of finding a home server, while authentication is the act of proving who you are to the Skype for Business Server.

After the discovery and authentication processes, the application is registered with the UCWA 2.0 server.The illustration shows the sequence of HTTP requests and responses between the client and the UCWA 2.0 server.

  1. Send a GET request on the Autodiscovery URL.

The Autodiscovery URL can be constructed by appending the domain name to the string "https://lyncdiscover". For example, if the domain name is "contoso.com", the Autodiscovery URL would be "https://lyncdiscover.contoso.com/".

GET https://lyncdiscover.contoso.com/ HTTP/1.1
X-Ms-Origin: http://app.fabrikam.com
Accept: application/json
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
Referer: https://lyncdiscover.contoso.com/xframe
Accept-Language: en-us
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/5.0)
Host: lyncdiscover.contoso.com
Connection: Keep-Alive
  1. Process the response from the previous request.

The response from the previous GET request should be 200 OK. The body of the response contains three links. Each link is a key-value pair that consists of a name ("rel") and an object. The object is also a key-value pair in which the key is "href" and the value is the URL.

  • self (the current resource)

  • user (the user on whose behalf you are logging in)

  • xframe (the cross-domain frame used for web-based applications. )

    The user and xframe URLs will be used later, so it is important that you cache them.

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

{
"_links":{
"self":{"href":"https://lyncweb.contoso.com/Autodiscover/AutodiscoverService.svc/root?originalDomain=contoso.com"},
"user":{"href":"https://lyncweb.contoso.com/Autodiscover/AutodiscoverService.svc/root/oauth/user?originalDomain=contoso.com"},
        "xframe":{"href":"https://lyncweb.contoso.com/Autodiscover/XFrame/XFrame.html"}
}
}
  1. Send a GET request on the user URL, indicating that we want to authenticate as a user.

The URL in this GET request comes from the response body of the previous GET request. The user href is used for the URL in the request, and the xframe href is used in the Referer header of this request. Notice also that the Host header changes from lyncdiscover.contoso.com to lyncweb.contoso.com.

 GET https://lyncweb.contoso.com/Autodiscover/AutodiscoverService.svc/root/oauth/user?originalDomain=contoso.com HTTP/1.1
X-Ms-Origin: http://app.fabrikam.com
Accept: application/json
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
Referer: https://lyncweb.contoso.com/Autodiscover/XFrame/XFrame.html
Accept-Language: en-us
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/5.0)
Host: lyncweb.contoso.com
Connection: Keep-Alive

  1. Process the response from the previous request.

The response from the previous GET request should be 401 Unauthorized. This should be no surprise, as the user is not yet authenticated. The header of the response contains a URL that can be used to get an OAuth token that is used in all subsequent requests.

HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Length: 1293
Date: Sat, 12 Jan 2013 01:00:47 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.5
WWW-Authenticate: Bearer trusted_issuers="00000002-0000-0ff1-ce00-000000000000@contoso.com", client_id="00000004-0000-0ff1-ce00-000000000000"
WWW-Authenticate: MsRtcOAuth href="https://lyncweb.contoso.com/WebTicket/oauthtoken",grant_type="urn:microsoft.rtc:windows,urn:microsoft.rtc:anonmeeting,password"
X-MS-Server-Fqdn: W15-LYNC-SE1.contoso.com
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
Vary: Accept-Encoding

The response body contains an HTML document (not shown here) with the following text:

Server Error401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials. You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.

  1. Send a POST request on the OAuth URL.

UCWA 2.0 supports three authentication mechanisms:

  • Windows authentication - allow the browser to launch a Windows prompt that gets user credentials from the operating system.

  • Anonymous meeting - allow an anonymous user to participate in an online meeting.

  • Password authentication - collect the user's credentials in the code for your application.

To use password authentication, you must provide a function that gets a user's credentials. This can take the form of HTML <input> tags, a JavaScript input dialog box, or other means of getting input.

The response shown here uses password authentication. To use Windows authentication, for example, place the following in the request body- grant_type=urn:microsoft.rtc:windows.

POST https://lyncweb.contoso.com/webticket/oauthtoken HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset='utf-8'
X-Ms-Origin: http://app.fabrikam.com
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
Referer: https://lyncweb.contoso.com/Autodiscover/XFrame/XFrame.html
Accept-Language: en-us
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate

grant_type=password&amp;username=lenea@contoso.com&amp;password=pass@word1
  1. Process the response from the previous request.

The response from the previous POST request should be 200 OK. The body of the response contains the OAuth token that must be used in all subsequent requests.

For the sake of brevity, the OAuth token is not shown in its entirety.

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

{
"access_token":"cwt=AAEB...buHc",
"expires_in":28289,
"ms_rtc_identityscope":"local",
"token_type":"Bearer"
}
  1. Send another GET request on the user resource, passing the OAuth token in the Authorization header of the request.

The previous GET request on the user resource resulted in a response code of 401 Not Authorized, because the request was made without an OAuth token.

GET https://lyncweb.contoso.com/Autodiscover/AutodiscoverService.svc/root/oauth/user?originalDomain=contoso.com HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Bearer cwt=AAEB...buHc
Accept: application/json
X-Ms-Origin: http://app.fabrikam.com

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/5.0)
Host: lyncweb.contoso.com
Connection: Keep-Alive
  1. Process the response from the previous GET request.

A successful response is 200 OK. The response body contains a link to the applications resource, which is used in the next step.

"_links":{
"self":{"href":"https://lyncweb.contoso.com/Autodiscover/AutodiscoverService.svc/root/user"},
"applications":{"href":"https://lyncweb.contoso.com/ucwa/oauth/v1/applications"},
"xframe":{"href":"https://lyncweb.contoso.com/Autodiscover/XFrame/XFrame.html"}
}
}
  1. Send a POST request on the applications resource.

Now that you have user credentials, your request to access UCWA 2.0 as a user will be granted and you will receive a resource with a single link to the applications resource. Why do you care about the applications resource? This is how you register your application with UCWA 2.0 as an agent of the user whose credentials you obtained in a previous step.

The 's' at the end of applications indicates that it represents a collection of individual application resources. In UCWA 2.0, the convention to create or add an item to a collection is to perform a POST request on the collection. To do that, we look at the reference documentation for the applications resource and see that it takes three input parameters, which are shown in the body of the following request.

POST https://lyncweb.contoso.com/ucwa/oauth/v1/applications HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer cwt=AAEB...buHc
X-Ms-Origin: http://app.fabrikam.com

"UserAgent":"UCWA Samples",
"EndpointId":"a917c6f4-976c-4cf3-847d-cdfffa28ccdf",
"Culture":"en-US",
}

  1. Process the response from the previous request.

The response from the previous POST request should be 201 Created, which indicates that your application is now registered with the UCWA 2.0 server. The body of the response contains the application resource, which contains basic information about the application, links to related resources such as the batch and events resources, and four resources that are so useful that they are embedded in the application resource - me, people, onlineMeetings, and communication.

Next steps

Congratulations! The response to the final POST contains your very own UCWA 2.0 application, which is the starting point for every web application that works with UCWA 2.0. There are many things that you can do with your application. For some ideas, go to the UCWA 2.0 dashboard, and start communicating!
