Definition

Namespace:

Microsoft.Identity.Client

Assembly:

Microsoft.Identity.Client.dll

Package:

Microsoft.Identity.Client v4.60.3

Overloads

AcquireTokenForClientAsync(IEnumerable<String>)	Obsolete. [V3 API] Acquires a token from the authority configured in the app, for the confidential client itself (in the name of no user) using the client credentials flow. (See https://aka.ms/msal-net-client-credentials)
AcquireTokenForClientAsync(IEnumerable<String>, Boolean)	Obsolete. [V2 API] Acquires a token from the authority configured in the app, for the confidential client itself (in the name of no user) using the client credentials flow. (See https://aka.ms/msal-net-client-credentials)

AcquireTokenForClientAsync(IEnumerable<String>)

Caution

Use AcquireTokenForClient instead. See https://aka.ms/msal-net-3-breaking-changes.

Public Function AcquireTokenForClientAsync (scopes As IEnumerable(Of String)) As Task(Of AuthenticationResult)

Parameters

scopes

IEnumerable<String>

scopes requested to access a protected API. For this flow (client credentials), the scopes should be of the form "{ResourceIdUri/.default}" for instance https://management.azure.net/.default or, for Microsoft Graph, https://graph.microsoft.com/.default as the requested scopes are really defined statically at application registration in the portal, and cannot be overridden in the application.

Returns

Task<AuthenticationResult>

Authentication result containing the token of the user for the requested scopes

Public Function AcquireTokenForClientAsync (scopes As IEnumerable(Of String), forceRefresh As Boolean) As Task(Of AuthenticationResult)

Parameters

scopes

IEnumerable<String>

Scopes requested to access a protected API. For this flow (client credentials), the scopes should be of the form "{ResourceIdUri/.default}" for instance https://management.azure.net/.default or, for Microsoft Graph, https://graph.microsoft.com/.default as the requested scopes are really defined statically at application registration in the portal, and cannot be overridden in the application

forceRefresh

Boolean

If true, API will ignore the access token in the cache and attempt to acquire new access token using client credentials. This override can be used in case the application knows that conditional access policies changed

Returns

Task<AuthenticationResult>

Authentication result containing token of the user for the requested scopes
