sky api authentication issue

Ysauro Rossette · March 2020


Hello, I am developing an application with sky api, but I have had problems with authentication, I have followed the flow according to the documentation, take the example code from github https://github.com/blackbaud/sky-api-tutorial -auth-code-c-sharp.git, however I was unable to resolve the issue of authentication

Hi Ysauro Rossette‍,

Can you provide more details on what issues you're having? What error messages are you seeing?

Also, as a security measure, you should immediately regenerate your Application secret and Subscription keys. Those are sensitive values and should be treated like a password and not shared to the public. You can regenerate your Application secret from your application detail page linked from the My Application page. You can regenerate your subscription keys from the My subscriptions page.

I also recommend deleting the file you uploaded that contains these values.

Hi Ben Wong

The problem is that I can not authenticate, as mentioned in the post, place the data in the configuration file json, I'm working with the sample code from github, I've only gotten to where the image is displayed

Hi Ysauro‍ . I've sent you a PM regarding using our SKYLib.NET library demo app to sanity-check your own authorization code.

Ysauro Rossette‍, what happens when you click the Authorize button? Do you get an error message?

Hello Ysauro,

In your word document, you have a browser screenshot that has a URL to your app with an access_token: "localhost:55462/#access_token=...".

I would not have expected this. Because you are using the authorization code flow, the access_token value should not be present in the redirect from `/authorization` to your app. This would only happen if you used the implicit OAuth flow.

Is it possible that you modified this line to set "code" to "token"?

When you click the "Log in" button, make sure that your OAuth 2.0 /authorization URL has `response_type=code`

Like this:

https://oauth2.sky.blackbaud.com/authorization?client_id=CLIENTID&response_type=code&redirect_uri=localhost/auth/callback

Thank you very much, if it worked with the change you suggested

Hi,

I have a very similar issue, whereby I can't authenticate. I've downloaded sky-api-tutorial-auth-code-php-master and have setup my App, entered in the right Ids, secrets, redirect URI and been through all the documentation.

My app is located here:
https://www.entireti.com/

My Authorisation URI is:

https://oauth2.sky.blackbaud.com/authorization?client_id=6951663b-fce8-4be0-8d82-4f50f00cb4c5&response_type=code&redirect_uri=https://www.entireti.com/

When I press 'Authorize', it just takes me back to the login page, with this URI:

https://www.entireti.com/?code=e244861491604b3a80ad46de7225ea15

The value of scope.isAuthenticated is false.

I can't work out what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Chris,

In the `config.php` file, make sure you're setting the `AUTH_REDIRECT_URI` to `https://www.entireti.com/auth/callback.php`. From clicking Authorize on your site, I can see the `redirect_uri` property is missing the `/auth/callback.php`. Adding that should resolve your issue.
