Here's the error I get while trying to get the access token.
{

I'm using ASP.NET Core to embed the power bi report.
Here's my code for reference:
private static async Task<OAuthResult> AuthenticateAsync()
{
var oauthEndpoint = new Uri(AuthorityUrl);
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
var result = await client.PostAsync(oauthEndpoint, new FormUrlEncodedContent(new[]
{
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("resource", ResourceUrl),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("client_id", ClientId),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("grant_type", "password"),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("username", Username),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("password", Password),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("scope", "openid"),
}));
var content = await result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<OAuthResult>(content);
}
}
class OAuthResult
{
[JsonProperty("token_type")]
public string TokenType { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("scope")]
public string Scope { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("experies_in")]
public int ExpiresIn { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("ext_experies_in")]
public int ExtExpiresIn { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("experies_on")]
public int ExpiresOn { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("not_before")]
public int NotBefore { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("resource")]
public Uri Resource { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("access_token")]
public string AccessToken { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("refresh_token")]
public string RefreshToken { get; set; }
}I'm using the same username and password and the same client ID for my MVC application and I get the token.
Are you using a Azure AD application which is registered as a Native client as opposed to Web app / API. The Native client is the only type of that supports the Password credential flow. This might not be the issue but I thought I would call it out just in case.
Yes I'm using an Azure AD app registration of type "Native" in this case. Also, I'm using .NET Core 2.0 app.
