Claim auth from ADFS
I try to connect to a SharePoint Online instance via a WPF application. I have found this article that discribes a possible solution but the problem is that the specific instance has a Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) in front and I don't know how to get the auth-token. (I can't create a certificate for my application to authentificate against the adfs.)
Anyone who have already done this and can support me with some code snippets?
Answer
I've played with Fiddler. Basically the flow goes like this:
- Get a SAML token from ADFS
- Post it to https://login.microsoftonline.com/login.srf (body should be
wa=wsignin1.0, wresult=<requestsecuritytokenresponse>…token…</rstr> and wctx=MEST=0&LoginOptions=2&wa=wsignin1%2E0&rpsnv=2&ct=1343219880&rver=6%2E1%2E6206%2E0&wp=MBI&wreply=https%3A%2F%2Fspirit365%2Esharepoint%2Ecom%2F%5Fforms%2Fdefault%2Easpx&id=500046&cbcxt=mai&wlidp=1&guest=1&vv=910&mkt=EN-US&lc=1033&bk=1343219930 - Capture the input hidden named "t" from the Form
- POST that "t" to /_layouts/Authenticate.aspx. That should give you the FedAuth and rtFa cookie.
From that point this is the same as the code here: http://www.wictorwilen.se/Post/How-to-do-active-authentication-to-Office-365-and-SharePoint-Online.aspx
