trouble validating user identity token

Nate Zapotocky

I am following the sample on https://developer.blackbaud.com/skyapi/docs/addins/concepts/addin-sso


When I copy the code at the bottom of the page into my solution, I have to make a couple changes to get it to compile. This is what I come up with:

public async Task<UserIdentityToken> ValidateSingleSignOnToken(string rawToken)
{
	// this represents the user identity token returned from getUserIdentityToken()
	// var rawToken = "(raw token value)";

	// this is the ID of the developer's SKY application
	Guid applicationId = new Guid("(removed for post)");

	// create and validate the user identity token
	UserIdentityToken uit;
	try {
		uit = await UserIdentityToken.ParseAsync(rawToken, applicationId);

		// if valid, the UserId property contains the Blackbaud user's ID
		var userId = uit.UserId;

		// if valid, the EnvironmentId property contains the environment ID
		var envId = uit.EnvironmentId;

		return uit;
	}
	catch (TokenValidationException ex) {
		// process the exception
		return null;
	}
}

When I test this code, it hangs forever on this line:
uit = await UserIdentityToken.ParseAsync(rawToken, applicationId);


I have downloaded the sample solution from https://github.com/blackbaud/addin-tokenauthentication


I am able to run the test app. I can enter a token it validates it successfully.


My project is an ASP.NET Web API. My code seems to be doing basically the same thing, however, mine hangs on that line when I test it.


Any help?

Blackbaud who can take a look at this question for us? We are trying to build SKY Add-Ins and this is one of our roadblocks. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
