Rookie C# authentication question

teocomi · 2 October 2022 18:57

Most of the docs assume you have Manager running locally where that C# code is executing, and so accounts would be picked directly from there.

If your environment does not have Manager installed, I’d suggest using an auth token instead.

And here is a simple example that shows how to “fake” an account and use it: Dev Q — barebones serverside example - #2 by teocomi

UPDATE:
If, instead, you want to perform the full OAuth dance from your app, you can use this method in Core, which spins up a local server and redirect the user to the web app to perform the login:

              AccountStorage.UpdateObject(account.id, JsonConvert.SerializeObject(account));
            }
          }
          
          

          
/// <summary>
          /// Adds an account by propting the user to log in via a web flow
          /// </summary>
          /// <param name="server">Server to use to add the account, if not provied the default Server will be used</param>
          /// <returns></returns>
          public static async Task AddAccount(string server = "")
          {
            server = server.TrimEnd(new[] { '/' });
          
          
  if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(server))
              server = GetDefaultServerUrl();
          
          
  var accessCode = "";
            var challenge = GenerateChallenge();
            Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo($"{server}/authn/verify/sca/{challenge}") { UseShellExecute = true });
