ASP.NET acquire JWT token from ADFS by code or CLI - asp.net

We are developing an ASP.NET (not .Net Core) API for another team to consume.
I need to get a JWT token from our ADFS to test if the security of the API is working.
I can't use the login page of ADFS, I need to do this by code, CLI or anything.
How can I do that?
Edit :
I tried to call adfs using postman (POST /adfs/oauth2/token) and got this error :
Activity ID: 4acc6a7b-dafe-4a4b-1c00-0080000000dd

You can use the client credentials flow.
It relies on a secret key rather than a login.
You could do this via Postman.

GA4 Measurement Protocol Tag sends events to an unexpected endpoint

We use GA4 Measurement Protocol for sending events to GTM Server-Side which than passes them along to GA4. However, I noticed an unexpected behavior.
GTMS Client receives an event in the following format:
{
"client_id":"ND+VxzSadb1BmLKxlzHZiLidLj6X6kyM2mTNewDRSIc=.1675251033",
"user_id":"8229012",
"non_personalized_ads":false,
"events":[
{
"name":"registration submission",
"params":{
"method":"sendpulse.com",
"service":"emailservice",
"x-fb-ck-fbp":"fb.1.1675251033570.550668735",
"x-fb-ck-fbc":"",
"user_agent":"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/109.0.0.0 Safari/537.36",
"session_id":"1675336459",
"user_data":{
"email_address":"2bb61ab0fa7f4937e5598a552bee3cc5280da453e609c594845f82085c416b31",
"phone_number":"1a6c0f1e473e472ef49dfa407fd915748a3d6e4c80481814c3dd0d088698bfcb"
}
}
}
]
}
But GA4 tag passes the event along to an unexpected endpoint:
https://www.google-analytics.com/g/collect?cid=ZjceIJMKEZPkhLBLd1%2BzF0ekLIINdDre%2FJO1UF0RvMM%3D.1675344158&tid=G-46NQ594GKJ&v=2&gtm=45091e31v1&uid=8229115&ep.method=social_facebook&ep.service=emailservice&ep.session_id=1675344160&en=registration%20submission
One would expect the endpoint to be www.google-analytics.com/mp/collect (The endpoint for measurement protocol events) and the request body to be the same JSON that was sent to GTMS, but somehow it's not the case. I suspect this behavior causes session_id to be incorrectly interpreted on the GA4 end and probably causes a bunch of other problems. Is this a normal behavior?

Microsoft Edge 14 options request response not received?

I'm trying to load a JSON file from my CDN, and all browsers work except MS Edge. When I inspect the network tab of Edge, I see that the OPTIONS requests that preceed the request to the actual JSON file keep their "pending" status, and the response headers as well as the response body stay empty in that panel, as shown in the screenshot below :
When I reload the page, the files that I was trying to fetch show up, before even my page request, and are shown to have taken many seconds to load (here, 3887 seconds) :
My server is definite that a 200 response was sent as a response to the initial OPTIONS request :
method: "OPTIONS"
resource: "/lang/locale-survey-en_US.json?1490092072501"
httpVersion: "HTTP/1.1"
status: 200
responseSize: "175"
userAgent: "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.79 Safari/537.36 Edge/14.14393"
My best guess is that Edge is not able to read the response to the OPTIONS request, but if so why would it send OPTIONS requests in the first place ? As it works in all other browsers, I'm out of ideas about how I can debug this, so if you have suggestions about which logs or what I should check, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Jetty client http error code 412

I am accessing one website (I am hiding origin website name as it is against the policy) using browser and jetty/apache httpclient.
The website works fine with web browser.
Using api I am able to login into website,gets the session cookie JSESSIONID and home page html content. But after that when I submit any form or call the links from html I receive the HTTP error code 412(Pre condition failed).
I understand this error is due problem in client header. I set all the headers from browser(checked using inspect element in chrome browser). Still I have the same error.
I am not able to track down which header is causing the problem.
Here is the Header from browser
Request Headers

Same header I am setting from jetty client.
Request request = httpClient.newRequest(url);
request.method(HttpMethod.POST);
request.agent(USER_AGENT);
request.accept("text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8");

request.header(HttpHeader.CONNECTION, "keep-alive");
request.header(HttpHeader.CONTENT_TYPE, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : params.entrySet()){
request.param(URLEncoder.encode(entry.getKey(), "UTF-8"), URLEncoder.encode(entry.getValue(), "UTF-8"));
if(!StringUtils.isEmpty(content)){
content+="&";
}
content+=URLEncoder.encode(entry.getKey(), "UTF-8")+"="+URLEncoder.encode(entry.getValue(), "UTF-8");
}
request.header(HttpHeader.CONTENT_LENGTH, ""+content.length());
I see JSESSIONID and SLB_Cookie are present in the request. Since the website is out of our control I really can not track what is the issue.
Please help me to resolve this issue. Any pointers to resolve the issue on client side is appreciated. is there any way we can make sure which header causing this issue.
I solved the problem.
Issue with the form parameters value. I was sending encoded values where were encoded by jetty client again

How LogonUserIdentity information is passed from browser to server?

I'm accessing Windows authentication information in my ASP.NET MVC application using the following code.
WindowsIdentity identity = HttpContext.Current.Request.LogonUserIdentity;
Value of identity.Name is correctly the Windows login name.
When I inspect the http request that is send from browser to the server I see the following.
GET http://localhost:12010/administration HTTP/1.1

There is no Windows authentication information in the http request, but I can access it in my code.
How are the values of LogonUserIdentity properties passed from browser to server?
Note that these type of authentication is designed to employ in intranet applications.
As you can see, the Request parameters for my own test is:

which contains my username equal to amirmehr. But in browser request we don't see any user information which says the IIS is reading user data from OS since I'm running my project locally :). Here is browser request:
Request URL:http://localhost:54035/
Request Headers
Provisional headers are shown
Accept:text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8

User-Agent:Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/40.0.2214.94 Safari/537.36
After some research, I found out the question depends on test environment (besides configuration).
For Local case, take a look at Unable to get windows authentication to work through local IIS
And to understand how it works, check the Windows Authentication for
.net MVC 4 - how it works, how to test it. Both have useful
things.
Also we have configuration considerations mentioned below:
Configuration(Microsoft Link)
Configuring Windows Authentication in MVC4 with IIS Express.
For customization check ASP.NET MVC 4 Forms Authentication Customized :)
Depending on your WindowsAuthenticationMode, the browser may or may not authenticate with IIS. For example, if you allow Anonymous Authentication, then IUSR_MACHINENAME user will be used to authenticate the user. If Basic is specified, then the browser will authenticate with IIS (you will need to provide user/password) and then you will see in the requests the authentication information. Then there is NTLM authentication. More information here.

51degreee foundation - not redirection for new mobile

In asp.net the 51degree is not detecting new useragent.
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.0.3; en-us; EVO Build/IML74K) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/534.30
How can I ensure that new mobiles are also detected?
The 51degree have their database into a zip, and encoded file. There is no way you can add this User-Agent by your self , you need to contact them and ask them to add it.
Or use other method (with less features) like: Mobile Device Detection in asp.net
51Degree has a payment model where new useragents are added weekly if you pay.
If you dont pay, its updated once every 3 months I believe.
For more information:
