Access Token

[knightd23]

Hello,
I would like to know if is possible a person who is not developer get your token?

I ask this because I'm developing an app that can access to any account, for example, in my computer the app needs do access to my account (in the begin I select my account to access), if I pass this app to other person that isn't a developer, this person needs to be able to access your account (not my account) even isn't a developer(in the begin the person select your account to access).

Best Regards

Hello, 

Thanks for the answer.

I leave then the steps that I follow:

-Open the project the Dropbox.api with Visual Studio;

-Right click in SimpleBlogDemo -> Set as Startup Project

-Open Web.config file and add the APPKEY and APPSECRET to lines 21 and 22 respectively.

-Add in MY APPS Dropbox the http://localhost:5000/Home/Auth in the Redirect URIs of the OAuth2

- Save and press Start button

Sometimes gives the error that I described other times open a tab in the browser and after a while time said that is impossible to access to the website.

Thanks! We have managed to reproduce this. It seems the different sample projects can conflict with each other in some cases.

Please try the following to resolve it:
- right click on the SimpleBlogDemo project
- click "Properties"
- click "Web" in the sidebar
- change the port in "Project Url", e.g., from http://localhost:5000/ to http://localhost:5001/
- say yes the resulting pop-up, if you get one
- run the project again

Hello,

With your configurations the page opens, request a login register and after I give the permissions to my app allows the access to the simpleblogdemo,  the request the error "Server Error in '/' Application." reappears.

Best Regards

[Greg-DB]

I'm glad to hear that fixed that issue.

Can you share the backend error you're getting for this new problem? Thanks in advance!

[Greg-DB · Accepted solution]

Also, make sure to update the redirect URI to match the new port. 

We've now updated the repo in Github to have the two projects point to different ports now to avoid this in the future. Pulling the latest code should fix everything. If not (maybe due to cached files), Properties -> Web -> Create Virtual Directory should fix it.

Hello,

Thanks for the answer.

The error gives after I run the program and run the follow steps:

-Appear a web page when I run, that tells to signup now, I press that key

-Next ask to write my email account and password, I wrote;

-In the end has a button which name is "connected", I press this and gives the following error.

Server Error in '/' Application.

Thanks! That error indicates that the app key is missing. Make sure you filled in the DropboxAppKey and DropboxAppSecret values in Web.config for that sample app.

[knightd23]

Hello,

Thanks for the anser.

I really forget to add the APPkey and Secret, that's because I download the last version and not added these values.

I having test the example now and it works good, however after I add files to my blog and if I delete these files in my dropbox, when i'm going to disconnect in the app gives the following error. I'm saying this because can be a problem to someone that need to do this, for me this isn't a problem.

Server Error in '/' Application.

Hello,

You are right, I forgot to add the APPKEY and Secret in the xml file, because I think I was working with a old folder, however I was working with the new folder that you upload.

Other question, when I run the SimpleTest application gives the following error after ask to reset the settings. How can I solve? I already have looking for the URL configuration and I not found.

Best Regards

Dropbox - 400

Error (400)It seems the app you were using submitted a bad request. If you would like to report this error to the app's developer, include the information below.

More details for developers

Invalid redirect_uri: "https://localhost/authorize": It must exactly match one of the redirect URIs you've pre-configured for your app (including the path).

[Greg-DB]

For that sample, you should add "https://localhost/authorize" as a redirect URI for your app on the App Console:
