Get OAuth2 Access Token for Azure Registered App

See more OAuth2 Examples

Demonstrates how to get OAuth2 access token for an Azure Registered App from a desktop application or script. This example demonstrates the OAuth2 authorization flow.

This example requires Chilkat v10.1.2 or greater.

PowerShell

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$success = $false

# To further clarify, see OAuth 2.0 Authorization Flow

# The callback URL would look like "http://localhost:3017/" if the port number is 3017.
