OAuth2 using a SOCKS Proxy (for a Desktop Application)

See more OAuth2 Examples

Explains how to use a SOCKS proxy to send OAuth2 communications for a desktop application, using Microsoft Graph as an example. This method applies to all OAuth2 applications. CkPython

# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# To use a SOCKS proxy with OAuth2, create a Chilkat socket object and specify the details for the
# SOCKS proxy server (SOCKS4 or SOCKS5).
socket = chilkat.CkSocket()
# Use your SOCKS proxy server domain or IP address.
socket.put_SocksHostname("mysocksproxyserver.com")
# Change this to the listening port of your SOCKS proxy server (if necessary)
socket.put_SocksPort(1080)
socket.put_SocksUsername("myProxyLogin")
socket.put_SocksPassword("myProxyPassword")
# Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
# of the SOCKS proxy server:
socket.put_SocksVersion(5)
# Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
# SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

oauth2 = chilkat.CkOAuth2()

# We don't need to connect the socket beforehand.
# Just tell oauth2 to use the socket which has the SOCKS proxy properties.
success = oauth2.UseConnection(socket)

# This should be the port in the localhost callback URL for your app.  
# The callback URL would look like "http://localhost:3017/" if the port number is 3017.

# Replace these with actual values.
oauth2.put_ClientId("MICROSOFT-GRAPH-CLIENT-ID")
# This is your app password:
oauth2.put_ClientSecret("MICROSOFT-GRAPH-CLIENT-SECRET")

# Provide a SPACE separated list of scopes.
# See https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/authorization/permission_scopes

#

# In either case, cancel the background task initiated by StartAuth.

# 
# 3: Success - OAuth2 flow completed, the background thread exited, and the successful response is in AccessTokenResponse.
# 4: Access Denied - OAuth2 flow completed, the background thread exited, and the error response is in AccessTokenResponse.
# 5: Failure - OAuth2 flow failed before completion, the background thread exited, and error details are in FailureInfo.
