How to Use Office 365 api in Provider Hosted App

Hi,
I want to use outlook api in SharePoint Provider Hosted App.
when I use :-
$.ajax({
url: 'https://outlook.office365.com/api/v1.0/me/contacts',
type: 'GET',
beforeSend: function (xhr) {
xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer');
Accept: "application/json",
"client-request-id": "9de3d763-a8d9-4433-92f3-096d6be36d86",
success: function () {
alert("Welcome to Outlook ")},
error: function (e) {
alert(' Error121212 :' +e);
Error:-
XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://outlook.office365.com/api/v1.0/me/contacts. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'https://localhost:44309' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code
401.
Please Provide me a good example.
Thanks in Advance

Hi SharePlus,
You probably want to use the Office 365 API's to authenticate and communicate with the API's.
There's several resources available for this:
Ultimate LinkRoll for Getting Started with the Office 365 API's
Download Office 365 API Tools for Visual Studio 2013
Getting Started with O365 Dev - Communicate with Exchange
If you don't want to use the pre-compiled typed objects in the Office 365 API's for communicating with the Mail service (Exchange), you can always just make sure to handle the authentication properly and then construct your queries as raw queries, like Chaks
describes here: http://chakkaradeep.com/index.php/working-with-office365apis-the-raw-version/
Also, as a general rule; When working with anything Office 365, you should always keep an eye out for the example code, articles and news published from the Office 365 Patterns & Practices team here: https://github.com/OfficeDev/PnP
I hope this will guide you in the right direction :-)

Sharepoint provider hosted app using angularjs

I am working on a provider hosted app and trying to access the list item through REST call using angularjs. But I am not able to access the list. Is it possible to access the sharepoint list through REST call using angularjs in a provider hosted app?
Below is the code for angular:
var hostWebApp = angular.module('HostWebList', []);
Service:
hostWebApp.service('$SharePointJSOMService', function ($q, $http) {
this.getListItems = function ($scope, listTitle) {
var deferred = $q.defer();
//First we must call the EnsureSetup method
JSRequest.EnsureSetup();
var hostweburl = decodeURIComponent(JSRequest.QueryString["SPHostUrl"]);
var appweburl = decodeURIComponent(JSRequest.QueryString["SPAppWebUrl"]);
var restQueryUrl = hostweburl + "/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('ListName')/items";
var executor = new SP.RequestExecutor(hostweburl);
executor.executeAsync({
url: restQueryUrl,
method: "GET",
headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" },
success: function (data, textStatus, xhr) {
deferred.resolve(JSON.parse(data.body));
error: function (xhr, textStatus, errorThrown) {
alert("request failed");
alert(textStatus);
//getting -1003
alert(JSON.stringify(xhr));
//{"responseAvailable":false,"body":,"Header":null}
deferred.reject(JSON.stringify(xhr));
return deferred.promise;
Controller:
hostWebApp.controller('HostWebListController', function ($scope, $SharePointJSOMService) {
$scope.listItem = null;
var listName = "IncomingEmail";
var promise = $SharePointJSOMService.getListItems($scope, listName);
promise.then(function (data) {
$scope.listItem = data.d.results;
alert($scope.listItem);
console.log("came inside the promise success method");
}, function (data) {
console.log("Error " + data);
Following javascript files I have included:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/15/sp.runtime.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/15/sp.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/15/SP.RequestExecutor.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/15/init.debug.js"></script>
angular.js included.
I don't know what is the problem. Can anybody walk me through the problem. will be great help.

Your REST request must be authenticated. So you must send the access token in the authorization header along with your request. The following link explains how you can get the access token when you using a provider hosted app.

How to get the current user name in Provider hosted app using appOnlyAccessToken

Hi,
Please help me, how to get the HostWeb UserName in Provider Hosted App
i have Provider hosted App, and Anonymous Authentication is enabled on AppWeb, using appOnlyAccessToken
Below code does not return current user who Log in in hostweb, it is returning
SharePoint App (app@sharepoint)
Web web = clientContext.Web;
clientContext.Load(web);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
clientContext.Load(web.CurrentUser);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
clientContext.Web.CurrentUser.LoginName;
Below code gives a blank name when Anonymous Authentication is enabled, if Anonymous Authentication is disabled
app prompts for credentials
HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name
Thanks
Ram

Hi,
Since you are using a provider Hosted app if you want to get the current logged in name than do not use AppOnlyAccessToken else use AccessToken which is App + user Context AccessToken.
then
Web web = clientContext.Web;
clientContext.Load(web);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
clientContext.Load(web.CurrentUser);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
clientContext.Web.CurrentUser.LoginName;will return proper user Name.
HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name will never return the user as this object is related to IIS server of your App Server not sharepoint.you should set this as Anonymous in case of provider hosted app.you can download the below sample which uses the AccessToken which has user name in it.https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Working-provider-hosted-8fdf2d95

Using Office 365 - how to close sub folders in iPhone-mail app.

using Office 365 - how to close sub folders in iPhone-mail app.

Isn't HotMail still POP3 mail only (i.e. no IMAP support)? If that is still the case, then your device is working correctly. The folders you made are a feature of the web tool for hotmail, and are not part of the POP3 supported email protocol. Only IMAP mail supports on-server mail subfolders, and those can be accessed from the iPhone mail client. But POP3 is limited to the inbox solely, as that is literally the only folder that sits on the mail server (your others are on Microsofts web server and supported via the web mail tool).

Javascript Support in Office 365 APIs

Looking at the Office 365 API Preview, I came across this sentence in the Discovery Service section.
"Currently, the Discovery Service APIs are available in a .NET C# managed portable library that can be used by Native, Windows Store, and Windows Phone apps."
If the Office 365 APIs will only be available when fully released as C# libraries that is a huge problem, especially if you want Windows Store App Developers to write apps that utilize data from it, even OData. There is a very large section of that dev community
that write in JavaScript and you will essentially be ignoring and/or cutting off that whole segment of that community if you do. One of the great things about the Windows 8 App dev platform is that a developer can use (almost) any language that he/she is comfortable
with, that HTML/Javascript and C#/XAML live, breath and thrive together. Unfortunately, it seems that the SharePoint product teams only are able to write in C#.
It has been quite a struggle to write apps that utilize the SharePoint 2013 product line (on-prem, online, Project Online, etc) as a HTML/Javsacript Windows Store App developer, especially around authentication. No samples exist. The C# samples that do exist
utilize coding methods that are very specific to how one would developer on the SharePoint platform before the new "app" dev model came about, which aren't necessarily the correct or appropriate ways that a Windows 8 developer would/should do things.
It's like they didn't even bother to learn about the axioms and dev principals for Windows 8 Store Apps or worse didn't talk to their colleagues on the Windows Dev team.
I write in both HTML/JavaScript and C#/XAML, which is not a common practice. However, when I am writing Windows 8 Store apps, HTML/JavaScript is the language that I prefer. It is just easier to get some of the more advance design things done in that language
combination then in C#/XAML I have found. I have been holding off releasing some of my apps because I want to support O365/SharePoint Online/Project Online with them. If these new libraries are only going to be C#, then my apps just won't support O365. I would
hope though that going forward that more support would be given to this large section of your customer community.
Regards,
Christine Flora

Not sure if you've done a lot of work trying to get OData out of Office 365 / SharePoint Online or Project Online or done any Windows 8 development, but you must authenticate before you can even get TO the OData endpoints. So yes, the REST Endpoints are
accessible by using an httpClient call from within Javascript, if in fact you can authenticate and authorize first.
Currently this is a big pain in the backside, even if using C#, but from JavaScript it is almost impossible. Even now some of the current/popular methods for doing so can open big security holes on a Win8 machine (ie: running a claims service on your Win8
machine locally just to authenticate to name just one). I was hoping / am hoping that the new APIs will help with that, but I am not at all encouraged by what I am seeing and hearing so far especially since it looks like from the quote I provided above
that they will only be available if you are using C#. As I pointed out, a large part of the Win8 App Dev community using JavaScript.
I want to put it out there that I truly hope that the SharePoint product teams take this into consideration as they work on these new APIs and other ways to extend the SharePoint App family.

Having trouble removing a student email account from the Windows Mail App because the school has started using office 365 for thier email which i dont have access to

I was wondering if anybody has any ideas on how to remove a gmail account that was set up by a community college for use on their mail servers and then find out that after awhile they have locked you out because they have started using office 365 for their
emails and you are left with a student email account that you have no idea how to delete because you have missied out on deleting it before they changed to a different email provider?
Anybody with ideas please help because I don't know what to do

Hi,
Regarding to Windows Mail App, do you mean the Modern UI App in Windows 8.1? Do you mean that you want to remove the email account from Mial App? Generally, we can simply remove the account by the "Account" option in Mail App (Open Mail App, move
the mouse the right chram bar, click Account, then click the mail account\Remove account), but if the email acocunt is tied with the Microsoft Account which is used on the pc, in that case, it is unavailable to remove the email account, you need to contact
your college to disconnect the Microsoft Account.
If I'm misunderstanding something, please free correct me.

Query about using Office 365 as a file server

Hey,
At my workplace we are looking to change our method of storing files, as it stands we have an old machine which we connect to via the LAN.
As we have expanded, other people need access to this from afar and we have looked at Office 365 Education, my understanding is that everyone gets 25gb on their own local area. How would we go about getting 100-200 GB of space on a standalone area.
E.G a virtual server which everyone can access, as an admin can I restrict who views which directories?
My understanding is that I would need to make a user account called "Company Server" and share the folders via SkyDrive and only upgrade that account?
Thanks again

The storage for OneDrive for Business (SkyDrive Pro) is now 1TB for each user. OneDrive for Business is a good place for storing users' working files, the kinds of files you'd typically find in user home directories.
You can use Office 365 like a file server through the use of mapped network drives. Here's how to set one up support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2616712. You can also script the network drive setup process with Powershell. Check

Office 365 API, error: The token has invalid value 'roles' for the claim type ''

Hi guys,
I am trying to develop a Daemon / Server application using the new Office 365 APIs. I have added a new application to Azure Active Directory. I am using cURL + the app ID and secret to get a JWT token, this is the exact request:
curl -X POST https://login.windows.net/TENANT_KEY/oauth2/token \
-F redirect_uri=http://spreadyDaemon \
-F grant_type=client_credentials \
-F resource=https://outlook.office365.com/ \

"iss": "https://sts.windows.net/TENANT_KEY/",
"oid": "17fa33ae-a0e9-4292-96ea-24ce8f11df21",

Hi Manu,
To wrap this thread up; I have had an answer on stack overflow.
It appears that currently the grant type client_credentials is not supported, according to a comment on this blog post by Matthias' http://blogs.msdn.com/b/exchangedev/archive/2014/03/25/using-oauth2-to-access-calendar-contact-and-mail-api-in-exchange-online-in-office-365.aspx
"There is no way in the code flow to avoid username/password. We're working on a client credential flow for later this fall that will give you the functionality required to run background services. For this you will not need a username/password,
but the application will directly assert its identity and authenticate as itself."
Unfortunately I require client_credentials for a daemon process, Q4 is the scheduled release for support for this grant time.
Thanks for the help,
Nick

Cannot click in search mail and people field using Office 365

As of this week, four of the users in our school have reported that they cannot click within the search mail field using Office 365. Happens on Macs running 10.8 and 10.9 when using Firefox version 28. When they try using Google Chrome they can use the email search function.
Is anyone else having this issue? Any ideas? I updated to the latest versions of Flash and Java same result.
Thank you!

Hi CT_Dave, I do know that search api can have alot of dom elements on them and that scripts on a page can be prevented from running. However, for Office 365 specifically I do not know what kind of search they have.
You can monitor the search page by looking in the web console to see if there are any specific errors that may be causing this issue.
In the about:config, please also make sure javascript is enabled.
# In the address bar, type "about:config" (with no quotes), and press Enter.
# Click "I'll be careful, I promise"
# In the search bar, search for "javascript.enabled" (with no quotes).
# Right click the result named "javascript.enabled" and click "Toggle". JavaScript is now disabled.
To Re-enable JavaScript, repeat these steps.

Missing e-mails on computers when using office 365 outlook

I am using office 365, things were working well but I do faced with a problem.
As my emails were from Exchange and I am using IMAP in my email settings on my computer and mobile devices, when I create folders and stored my emails in these folders on my computer, some of my emails disappeared, but when I check login and check the
web-version of e-mails, they are inside there.
Can anyone advise how to stop this problem or disappearing emails and how to synchronise these emails back to my computer ?
Thank you

Hi,
So you are using IMAP to access your mail on Exchange on your computer and mobile. Some emails will disappear after move them to a folders on the computer.
Based on my research, this issue can happen for several reasons, for example a client filter, corruptions in data file or Outlook profile, etc.
I would suggest we try following steps to troubleshoot the issue:
Check if you have any filter view settings applied on these folders which might filter out these emails. Click
VIEW>View Settings on the ribbon, then click Filter...
Check with a new Outlook data file, and see if issue persists. You can simply delete the current .ost file, and launch Outlook again to let it generate a new one. To check the location of your Outlook data file, please
go to FILE>Account Settings>Account Settings>Data Files
tab.
If issue persists, you might want to check with a new Outlook profile:
