Thinktecture.IdentityModel.45, Routing, wants to invoke identity controller - asp.net

I'm trying to use Thinktecture.IdentityModel.45 for authentication in ASP.NET Web API.
I'm trying to get the Basic Authentication to work. And have downloaded the source and got the sample to work. (JsBasicAuth).
We have Web API in the same project as a MVC application. And when the test client calls ~/api/identity all handlers and authorization work. But then the framework (web api) tries to invoke a controller called "identity" and the call fails.
{"Message":"No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI 'http://localhost/app/api/identity'.","MessageDetail":"No type was found that matches the controller named 'identity'."}
Do I need to exclude /identity /token from the routing? What am I missing?

I now discovered the Common project in the sample solution. There is a IdentityController there. And I didn't have that in my own project. Now it works! :)

Spring-Security-OAuth2 - how to add fields to access token request?

I have a Spring Boot application, that is using Spring Security with OAuth 2.0. Currently, it is operating against an Authentication Server based on Spring Example code. However, running our own Auth Server has always been a short-term target to facilitate development, not a long-term goal. We have been using the authorization_code grant type and would like to continue using that, irrespective of the Auth Server implementation.
I am attempting to make changes to use OAuth 2.0 Endpoints in Azure Active Directory, to behave as our Authentication Server. So far, I have a successful call to the /authorize endpoint. But the call to get the /token fails with an invalid request error. I can see the requests going out.
It appears that parameters that Azure states as mandatory are not being populated in the POST request. Looking at the Azure doco, it expects the client_id to be defined in the body of the message posted to the endpoint, and that is not added, by default, by Spring.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for how I can add fields to the Form Map that is used when constructing the Access Token request? I can see where the AccessTokenRequest object is being setup in OAuth2ClientConfiguration....
#Bean
#Scope(value = "request", proxyMode = ScopedProxyMode.INTERFACES)
protected AccessTokenRequest accessTokenRequest(#Value("#{request.parameterMap}")
Map<String, String[]> parameters, #Value("#{request.getAttribute('currentUri')}")
String currentUri) {
DefaultAccessTokenRequest request = new DefaultAccessTokenRequest(parameters);
request.setCurrentUri(currentUri);
return request;
}
Should I be trying to define the map in a request.parameterMap spring property? If so, I'm not too sure how that works.
Or should I be using one of the interfaces defined in the AuthorizationServerConfigurerAdapter class?
I have the information to include when sending the AccessTokenRequest, I just don't know the best way to configure Spring to include it? Thanks for any help.
Actually, I found this out. I needed to change the client authentication scheme. Simply adding the following to my application properties added the client_id to the form....
security.oauth2.client.clientAuthenticationScheme=form
If you're using yaml, then yaml-ize it. Thank you Spring!

Call web service and passing a cookie in an ASP.Net Web Application

We have to call a web service hosted by our client. We were able to add a web reference to our ASP.Net web application and use the web service. The client just sent us a text file and said we need to pass this as a cookie to get access to the web service. I ask for their help and they sent me this.
SoapHttpClientProtocol clientProxy = new T();
clientProxy.CookieContainer.Add(uri, cookie);
Is there a way to do this using a web reference? Or do I hav eto make a soap call?
The web reference you have generated should be derived from System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol (for details see this link). The ancestors of this class also provide a property named CookieContainer so that you can use the following code:
webRefInstance.CookieContainer.Add(uri, cookie);

Restful Web API from Browser

I am using ASP.NET MVC 4 WEB API to create a Restful API service. This is my first go at it, so if you feel I am taking a wrong approach please feel free to correct.
I want to create a rest API (only & not a website, the consumer of the api can decide where they want to consume it), in the past I have used Restful WCF service to achieve this.
I have created a new ASP.NET MVC 4 Web Application and chose the WebAPI project template. I have added a controller class 'CatalogueController.cs' the purpose is on Get() operation I want to return the Catalogue list. The CatalogueDo contains only one property 'Service' of type string.
[System.Web.Http.HttpGet()]
public HttpResponseMessage Get()
{
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, Catalogue);
}
When I run the application the browser loads with the URL http://localhost:5502/ resource not found, if I add the controller name http://localhost:5502/Catalogue/ the browser pops open a notepad with,
[{"Service":"Exchange"},{"Service":"Holidays"}]
The data is correct but
the browser keeps showing resource not found and after my request has been served the URL changes to http://localhost:5502/.
Question,
Am I doing something wrong? Should the response that pops up in the
notepad not be shown as xml in the browser it self?
Why does the controller name get removed from the URL once the request has been served?
Is it at all possible to invoke this REST service from Excel or Power Pivot?

Could not find default endpoint element that references contract 'Service' error in consuming web Services in asp.net mvc

I have a problem when calling web Services in ASP.net MVC , I do the following
add the web service by add service reference to solution, and I include the service.cs file to the solution also, but when I try to create object in home controller , I have the following error
Could not find default endpoint element that references contract 'Service' in the ServiceModel client configuration section. This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching this contract could be found in the client element.
can any one help me please
thanks
There's a couple things going on here. First, you're using SVCUTIL to generate a proxy and configuration settings for a non-WCF service - .asmx is legacy. I was able to generate a proxy and config settings, but to overcome the error you got you need to call one of the overloaded versions of WeatherHttpClient.
I'm not 100% sure, but this is what I think based on what I observed.
The reason is because there are two endpoints defined in the configuration file (one for SOAP 1.1 and one for SOAP 1.2), and since both endpoints are named there is no default endpoint to choose from.
When I used var x = new WeatherHttpClient(new BasicHttpBinding("WeatherSoap"), new EndpointAddress("http://wsf.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/Weather.asmx")); I was able to create the proxy just fine.
However, when I called GetCityForecastByZip I got the following error:
Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction: http://ws.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/WeatherHttpGet/GetCityForecastByZIPRequest.
So then I used WSDL.exe to generate the proxy a la .ASMX style. I included that in my project, and the following code returned a result (after including a reference to System.Web.Services - I was using a console app):
var x = new Weather();
ForecastReturn result = x.GetCityForecastByZip("91504");`
I would suggest for simplicity using WSDL.exe to generate the proxy for your service, as it seems to be simpler.
I will also add that I've done very little MVC, but I don't think this is an MVC issue. I hope this helps you.

equivalent of httpwebrequest in spring mvc

In my controller, based on user post, i want to make a call to an external provider site to get process some data and get results.
example: say i want to invoke google map api at the following url
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/output?
This call returns an xml object with data, which I would like to use.
Only using google as an example here, but concept is the same.
How would I make the call in spring mvc controller or in the business[service] layer?
I came across jersey client which allows me to go against RESTful service.
This is the link I used:
Jersey Sample Client
Jersey Sample Client from oracle
I think you can open a http request inside a controller /Service ( Service sounds better )
I remember doing in other web framewoks with Apache http client (http://hc.apache.org/ ) but I would try google-api-client or google-api-client-servlet .
I m trying right now .
