Should it work on ubuntu linux

[per-oestergaard]

Hi. I am trying on Ubuntu 22.04 Linux with pwsh 7.2.6 core, but get an error

Get-ODAuthentication -ClientId $clientid -AppKey $secret -RedirectURI http://localhost/login -DontShowLoginScreen

Get-ODAuthentication: Exception calling "LoadWithPartialName" with "1" argument(s): "Could not load file or assembly 'System.Windows.Forms, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. Operation is not supported. (0x80131515)"

As you can see, I tried to avoid System.Windows.Forms by using -DontShowLoginScreen.

Any help/hint are much obliged.

how do yu expect to get an access token if you do not authenticate yourself with -DontShowLoginScreen?

Because I am using an app secret so I should not need a login screen as I have all the credentials already.

sorry, i misread.

• Your command line example is missing the ResourceId (sharepoint or whatever you are getting the files from).
• Also I always have the login prompt no matter what. It's not a question of having setup a secret or not. Creating a secret is part of the necessary steps to get this module to work, not a way to avoid login altogether.

You cannot use DontShowLoginScreen without a token that you did not save prior, that just will never work.

What you want to do is this:

1. on a windows PC

# get the auth token in a csv file, get the login prompt, enter email password and MFA auth if MFA enabled.
$Auth = @(); $Auth=Get-ODAuthentication -ClientId '%ClientId%' -AppKey '%AppKey%'  -RedirectURI '%RedirectURI%' -ResourceId '%ResourceId%';
# save the token as a csv file
$Auth | Export-Csv -Path '%tokenFile%'

2. now on Linux, load the token and refresh it (replace %variable% by your values)

# load token
$Auth = @(import-csv '%tokenFile%');
# refresh token
$Auth=Get-ODAuthentication -ClientId '%ClientId%' -AppKey '%AppKey%'  -RedirectURI '%RedirectURI%' -ResourceId '%ResourceId%' -RefreshToken $Auth.refresh_token;
# save refresh for reuse later
$Auth | Export-Csv -Path '%tokenFile%'

That's the only way for you since you claim the login prompt will not show on Linux.
