I also struggled finding articles on how to just generate the token part. I never found one and wrote my own. So if it helps:
The things to do are:
Microsoft.OwinMicrosoft.Owin.Host.SystemWebMicrosoft.Owin.Security.OAuthMicrosoft.AspNet.Identity.Owinstartup classThen create a HTML and a JavaScript (index.js) file with these contents:
var loginData = 'grant_type=password&[email protected]&password=test123';
var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (xmlhttp.readyState === 4 && xmlhttp.status === 200) {
alert(xmlhttp.responseText);
}
}
xmlhttp.open("POST", "/token", true);
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xmlhttp.send(loginData);
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="index.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
The OWIN startup class should have this content:
using System;
using System.Security.Claims;
using Microsoft.Owin;
using Microsoft.Owin.Security.OAuth;
using OAuth20;
using Owin;
[assembly: OwinStartup(typeof(Startup))]
namespace OAuth20
{
public class Startup
{
public static OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions OAuthOptions { get; private set; }
public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
{
OAuthOptions = new OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions()
{
TokenEndpointPath = new PathString("/token"),
Provider = new OAuthAuthorizationServerProvider()
{
OnValidateClientAuthentication = async (context) =>
{
context.Validated();
},
OnGrantResourceOwnerCredentials = async (context) =>
{
if (context.UserName == "[email protected]" && context.Password == "test123")
{
ClaimsIdentity oAuthIdentity = new ClaimsIdentity(context.Options.AuthenticationType);
context.Validated(oAuthIdentity);
}
}
},
AllowInsecureHttp = true,
AccessTokenExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromDays(1)
};
app.UseOAuthBearerTokens(OAuthOptions);
}
}
}
Run your project. The token should be displayed in the pop-up.
