Tutorial : Authenticate to the Microsoft Graph API in service mode
Warning: Shared objects are not supported by the 4D NetKit API.
The OAuth2Provider
class allows you to request authentication tokens to third-party web services providers in order to use their APIs in your application. This is done in two steps:
- Using the
New OAuth2 provider
component method, you instantiate an object of theOAuth2Provider
class that holds authentication information. - You call the
OAuth2ProviderObject.getToken()
class function to retrieve a token from the web service provider.
Here's a diagram of the authorization process:
This class can be instantiated in two ways:
- by calling the
New OAuth2 provider
method - by calling the
cs.NetKit.OAuth2Provider.new()
function
Warning: OAuth2 authentication in signedIn
mode requires a browser. Since some servers have restrictions regarding the supported browsers (for example, check this Google support page), the functionality may not work properly.
New OAuth2 provider( paramObj : Object ) : cs.NetKit.OAuth2Provider
Parameter | Type | Description | |
---|---|---|---|
paramObj | Object | -> | Determines the properties of the object to be returned |
Result | cs.NetKit.OAuth2Provider | <- | Object of the OAuth2Provider class |
New OAuth2 provider
instantiates an object of the OAuth2Provider
class.
In paramObj
, pass an object that contains authentication information.
The available properties of paramObj
are:
Parameter | Type | Description | Optional |
---|---|---|---|
name | text | Name of the provider. Available values: "Microsoft", "Google" or "" (if "" or undefined/null attribute, the authenticateURI and the tokenURI need to be filled by the 4D developer). | Yes |
permission | text | - "signedIn": Azure AD/Google will sign in the user and ensure they gave their consent for the permissions your app requests (opens a web browser). - service": the app calls Microsoft Graph with its own identity/Google (access without a user). |
No |
clientId | text | The client ID assigned to the app by the registration portal. | No |
redirectURI | text | (Not used in service mode) The redirect_uri of your app, the location where the authorization server sends the user once the app has been successfully authorized. When you call the .getToken() class function, a web server included in 4D NetKit is started on the port specified in this parameter to intercept the provider's authorization response. |
No in signedIn mode, Yes in service mode |
scope | text or collection | Text: A space-separated list of the Microsoft Graph permissions that you want the user to consent to. Collection: Collection of Microsoft Graph permissions. |
Yes |
tenant | text | Microsoft: The {tenant} value in the path of the request can be used to control who can sign into the application. The allowed values are: - "common" for both Microsoft accounts and work or school accounts (default value) - "organizations" for work or school accounts only - "consumers" for Microsoft accounts only - tenant identifiers such as tenant ID or domain name. Google (service mode only): Email address to be considered as the email address of the user for which the application is requesting delegated access. |
Yes |
authenticateURI | text | Uri used to do the Authorization request. Default for Microsoft: "https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant}/oauth2/v2.0/authorize". Default for Google: "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth". |
Yes |
tokenURI | text | Uri used to request an access token. Default for Microsoft: "https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant}/oauth2/v2.0/token". Default for Google: "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token". |
Yes |
tokenExpiration | text | Timestamp (ISO 8601 UTC) that indicates the expiration time of the token. | Yes |
clientSecret | text | The application secret that you created for your app in the app registration portal. Required for web apps. | Yes |
token | object | If this property exists, the getToken() function uses this token object to calculate which request must be sent. It is automatically updated with the token received by the getToken() function. |
Yes |
timeout | real | Waiting time in seconds (by default 120s). | Yes |
prompt | text | (Optional) A space-delimited, case-sensitive list of prompts to present the user. Possible values are: - none: Do not display any authentication or consent screens. Must not be specified with other values. - consent: Prompt the user for consent. - select_account: Prompt the user to select an account. (if you don't specify this parameter, the user will be prompted only the first time your project requests access. ) |
Yes |
loginHint | text | (Optional) This option can be used to inform the Google Authentication Server which user is attempting to authenticate if your application is aware of this information. By prefilling the email field in the sign-in form or by selecting the appropriate multi-login session, the server uses the hint to simplify the login flow either. Set the parameter value to a sub-identifier or email address that corresponds to the user's Google ID. |
Yes |
accessType | text | (Recommended) Indicates whether your application can refresh access tokens when the user is not present at the browser. Valid parameter values are online (default) and offline. Set the value to offline if your application needs to update access tokens when the user is not present at the browser. This is how access tokens are refreshed. This value instructs the Google authorization server to return a refresh token and an access token the first time that your application exchanges an authorization code for tokens. |
Yes |
clientEmail | text | (mandatory, Google / service mode only) email address of the service account used | No |
authenticationPage | text or file object | Path of the web page to display in the web browser when the authentication code is received correctly in signed in mode (If not present the default page is used). | Yes |
authenticationErrorPage | text or file object | Path of the web page to display in the web browser when the authentication server returns an error in signed in mode (If not present the default page is used). | Yes |
PKCEEnabled | boolean | false by default. If true, PKCE is used for OAuth 2.0 authentication and token requests and is only usable for permission=”SignIn”. | Yes |
PKCEMethod | text | "S256" by default. The only supported values for this parameter are "S256" or "plain". | Yes |
thumbprint | text | Certificate thumbprint. Only usable with permission="Service" | Yes (No for certificate based authentication) |
privateKey | text | Certificate private key. Only usable with permission="Service". (Google / service mode only) Private key given by Google. Mandatory if .permission="service" and .name="Google" |
Yes (No for certificate based authentication) |
clientAssertionType | text | The format of the assertion as defined by the authorization server. The value is an absolute URI. Default value: "urn:ietf:params:oauth:client-assertion-type:jwt-bearer". Only usable with permission="Service" | Yes |
browserAutoOpen | boolean | True (default value), the web browser is open automatically. Pass false if you don't want the web browser to open automatically. | Yes |
If you want the .getToken() function to use the Assertion Framework described in the RFC 7521 to connect to the server, make sure to pass the thumbprint
and privateKey
properties. If clientSecret
, thumbprint
and privateKey
are present, the thumbprint
is used by default and the RFC 7521 is used to connect. For more information, please refer to the OAuth2.0 authentication using a certificate blog post.
Note: The authenticationPage
and authenticationErrorPage
and all the resources associated must be in the same folder.
The OAuth2 provider returned object cs.NetKit.OAuth2Provider
properties correspond to those of the paramObj
object passed as a parameter and some additional properties:
Property | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
paramObj.properties | < properties passed in parameter paramObj > |
|
authenticateURI | text | Returns the calculated authenticateURI. Can be used in a webbrowser or in a web area to open the connection page. |
isTokenValid | Function | OAuth2Provider.isTokenValid() : boolean Verifies the token validity. - If no token is present, returns false. - If the current token is not expired, returns true. - If the token is expired and no refresh token is present, returns false. - If a refresh token is present, automatically requests a new token and returns true if the token is generated correctly, otherwise false. |

OAuth2ProviderObject.getToken() : Object
Parameter | Type | Description | |
---|---|---|---|
Result | Object | <- | Object that holds information on the token retrieved |
.getToken()
returns an object that contains a token
property (as defined by the IETF), as well as optional additional information returned by the server:
Property | Object properties | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
token | Object | Token returned | |
expires_in | Text | How long the access token is valid (in seconds). | |
access_token | Ttext | The requested access token. | |
refresh_token | Text | Your app can use this token to acquire additional access tokens after the current access token expires. Refresh tokens are long-lived, and can be used to retain access to resources for extended periods of time. Available only if the value of the permission property is "signedIn". |
|
token_type | Text | Indicates the token type value. The only token type that Azure AD supports is "Bearer". | |
scope | Text | A space separated list of the Microsoft Graph permissions that the access_token is valid for. | |
tokenExpiration | Text | Timestamp (ISO 8601 UTC) that indicates the expiration time of the token |
If the value of token
is empty, the command sends a request for a new token.
If the token has expired:
- If the token object has the
refresh_token
property, the command sends a new request to refresh the token and returns it. - If the token object does not have the
refresh_token
property, the command automatically sends a request for a new token.
When requesting access on behalf of a user ("signedIn" mode) the command opens a web browser to request authorization.
In "signedIn" mode, when .getToken()
is called, a web server included in 4D NetKit starts automatically on the port specified in the redirectURI parameter to intercept the provider's authorization response and display it in the browser.

Send an email with an attachment, on behalf of a Microsoft 365 user:
var $oAuth2 : cs.NetKit.OAuth2Provider
var $token; $param; $email; $status : Object
// Set up authentication
$param:=New object()
$param.name:="Microsoft"
$param.permission:="signedIn"
$param.clientId:="your-client-id" // Replace with your client ID
$param.redirectURI:="http://127.0.0.1:50993/authorize/"
// Ask permission to send emails on behalf of the Microsoft user
$param.scope:="https://graph.microsoft.com/Mail.Send"
$oAuth2:=New OAuth2 provider($param)
$token:=$oAuth2.getToken()
// Create the email, specify the sender and the recipient
$email:=New object()
$email.from:=New object("emailAddress"; New object("address"; "[email protected]")) // Replace with sender's email
$email.toRecipients:=New collection(New object("emailAddress"; New object("address"; "[email protected]")))
$email.body:=New object()
$email.body.content:="Hello, World!"
$email.body.contentType:="html"
$email.subject:="Hello, World!"
// Create a text file and attach it to the email
var $attachment : Object

Several Office365.mail functions return a standard **status object**
, containing the following properties:
Property | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
success | Boolean | True if the operation was successful |
statusText | Text | Status message returned by the server or last error returned by the 4D error stack |
errors | Collection | Collection of errors. Not returned if the server returns a statusText |
id | Text | - copy() and move() : returned id of the mail.- createFolder() and renameFolder() : returned id of the folder |
Basically, you can test the success
and statusText
properties of this object to know if the function was correctly executed.
When an error occurs during the execution of an Office365.mail function:
- if the function returns a
**status object**
, the error is handled by the status object and no error is thrown, - if the function does not return a status object, an error is thrown that you can intercept with a project method installed with
ON ERR CALL
.
Office365.user.get( id : Text { ; select : Text }) : Object
Office365.user.get( userPrincipalName : Text { ; select : Text }) : Object

Office365.user.get()
returns information on the user whose ID matches the id parameter, or whose User Principal Name (UPN) matches the userPrincipalName parameter.
The UPN is an Internet-style login name for the user based on the Internet standard RFC 822. By convention, it should correspond to the user's email name.
If the ID or UPN is not found or connection fails, the command returns an object with Null
as a value and throws an error.
In select, you can pass a string that contains a specific set of properties you want to retrieve. Each property must be separated by a comma (,). If the select parameter is omitted, the function returns an object with a predefined set of properties (see below).
The list of available properties is available on Microsoft's documentation website.
By default, if the select parameter is omitted, the command returns an object with the following properties:
Property | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
id | Text | Unique identifier for the user |
businessPhones | Collection | The user's phone numbers. |
displayName | Text | Name displayed in the address book for the user. |

Office365.user.getCurrent({select : Text}) : Object
Office365.user.getCurrent()
returns information on the current user. In this case, it requires a signed-in user, and therefore a delegated permission.
The command returns a Null
object if the session is not a sign-in session.
In select, pass a string that contains a set of properties you want to retrieve. Each property must be separated by a comma (,).
By default, if the select parameter is not defined, the command returns an object with a default set of properties (see the property table).

Establish a connection to the Microsoft Graph API in service mode.
- You have registered an application with the Microsoft identity platform and obtained your application ID (also called client ID) and client secret.
Here, the term "application" does not refer to an application built in 4D. It refers to an entry point you create on the Azure portal. You use the generated client ID to tell your 4D application to trust the Microsoft identity platform.
Once you have your client ID and client secret, you're ready to establish a connection to your Azure application.
- Open your 4D application, create a method and insert the following code:
var $oAuth2 : cs.NetKit.OAuth2Provider
var $office365 : cs.NetKit.Office365
var $credential:={}
$credential.name:="Microsoft"
$credential.permission:="service"
$credential.clientId:="your-client-id" //Replace with your Microsoft identity platform client ID
$credential.clientSecret:="your-client-secret" //Replace with your client secret
$credential.tenant:="your-tenant-id" // Replace with your tenant ID
$credential.scope:="https://graph.microsoft.com/.default"
$oAuth2:=New OAuth2 provider($credential)
$office365:=$cs.NetKit.Office365.new($oAuth2; {mailType: "MIME"})
// In service mode, you need to indicate on behalf of which user you are sending the request:
$office365.mail.userId:="MyUserPrincipalName"
// Get mails of MyUserPrincipalName account
$mailList:=$office365.mail.getMails()
- Execute the method to establish the connection.
This tutorial has been archived. We recommend using the Office365.mail.send() method to send emails.
Establish a connection to the Microsoft Graph API in signedIn mode, and send an email using the SMTP Transporter class.
In this example, we get access on behalf of a user.
- You have registered an application with the Microsoft identity platform and obtained your application ID (also called client ID).
Here, the term "application" does not refer to an application built in 4D. It refers to an entry point you create on the Azure portal. You use the generated client ID to tell your 4D application to trust the Microsoft identity platform.
- You have a Microsoft e-mail account. For example, you signed up for an e-mail account with Microsoft's webmail services designated domains (@hotmail.com, @outlook.com, etc.).
Once you have your client ID, you're ready to establish a connection to your Azure application and send an email:
- Open your 4D application, create a method and insert the following code:
var $token; $param; $email : Object
var $oAuth2 : cs.NetKit.OAuth2Provider
var $address : Text
// Configure authentication
$param:=New object
$param.name:="Microsoft"
$param.permission:="signedIn"

$param.redirectURI:="http://127.0.0.1:50993/authorize/"
$param.scope:="https://outlook.office.com/SMTP.Send" // Get consent for sending an smtp email
// Instantiate an object of the OAuth2Provider class
$oAuth2:=New OAuth2 provider($param)
// Request a token using the class function
// Send a token request and start the a web server on the port specified in $param.redirectURI
//to intercept the authorization response
$token:=$oAuth2.getToken()
// Set the email address for SMTP configuration
$address:= "[email protected]" // Replace with your Microsoft email account address
// Set the email's content and metadata
$email:=New object

$email.textBody:="Test mail \r\n This is just a test e-mail \r\n Please ignore it"
// Configure the SMTP connection
$parameters:=New object
$parameters.accessTokenOAuth2:=$token
$parameters.authenticationMode:=SMTP authentication OAUTH2
$parameters.host:="smtp.office365.com"
$parameters.user:=$address
// Send the email
$smtp:=SMTP New transporter($parameters)
$statusSend:=$smtp.send($email)
