(Excel) Uni Economy API Client Credentials Flow

Demonstrates how to do OAuth 2.0 using the client credentials flow for the Uni Economy API. (This means that the server can authenticate against the identity server without human interaction.)

For more information, see https://developer.unieconomy.no/wiki/introduction/getting-started/server-application

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

' Step 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' First create a client token...

Dim cert As Chilkat.Cert
Set cert = Chilkat.NewCert
cert.VerboseLogging = True
' Note: .pfx and .p12 files are identical.  The only difference is the file extension.
' Also, if your .p12 password is longer than 64 chars, you'll need Chilkat v9.5.0.83 or later.
' To shorten the password, import your .p12 onto your Windows computer by double-clicking on the .p12 file,
' make sure when importing that keys are exportable, then re-export with private keys to a .pfx with a new password.

success = cert.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/pfx/UniCert_Norge_Test_secret.pfx","secret")
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.Print cert.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If


Set privKey = cert.ExportPrivateKey()
If (cert.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.Print cert.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

Dim jwt As Chilkat.Jwt
Set jwt = Chilkat.NewJwt

' Build the JOSE header
Dim jose As Chilkat.JsonObject
Set jose = Chilkat.NewJsonObject
' Use RS256.  Pass the string "RS384" or "RS512" to use RSA with SHA-384 or SHA-512.
success = jose.AppendString("alg","RS256")
success = jose.AppendString("typ","JWT")

' Now build the JWT claims (also known as the payload)

' Our JWT claims will contain members as shown here:
' {
'   "jti": "ad612fce-3e71-4f6a-8af1-7eb0414b4eea",  <-- generated unique global identifier
'   "sub": "99999999-aaaa-bbbb-cccc-ddddeeeeffff",  <-- This is the clientId

success = claims.AddIntAt(-1,"iat",curDateTime)

' Set the "not process before" timestamp to now minus 60 seconds
success = claims.AddIntAt(-1,"nbf",curDateTime)

' Set the timestamp defining an expiration time (end time) for the token
' to be now + 1 hour (3600 seconds)
success = claims.AddIntAt(-1,"exp",curDateTime + 3600)

success = claims.AppendString("iss",myClientId)
success = claims.AppendString("aud","https://test-login.unieconomy.no/connect/token")

' Produce the smallest possible JWT:
jwt.AutoCompact = True

' Create the JWT token.  This is where the RSA signature is created.
