    This chapter shows how to work with the Eplan.IdentityClient.Authentification and Eplan.IdentityClient.Types namespaces.

     

    First create an IEIdentityClient object and make sure you are signed in to EPLAN Cloud:

    //Create IdentityClient instance
    IEIdentityClient IdentityClient = EIdentityClient.Instance;
    
    //Make sure you are signed in to EPLAN Cloud
    Task<AuthenticationData> signInData = IdentityClient.Signin();
    AuthenticationData signInResult = signInData.Result;
    
    //Check if success
    if (signInResult.IsSuccess)
        new Decider().Decide(EnumDecisionType.eOkDecision, "Sign in success", "Result", EnumDecisionReturn.eOK, EnumDecisionReturn.eOK);
    

     

    Get example information from user cloud profile:

    //User profile information
    Task<IdentityClientResponse> userProfile = IdentityClient.GetUserProfile();
    IdentityClientResponse getUserProfileResult = userProfile.Result;
    
    //Show exmaple information
    if (getUserProfileResult.IsSuccess)
    {
        string message = $"Organization Name: {getUserProfileResult.OrganizationName},\nEmail: {getUserProfileResult.Email}";
        new Decider().Decide(EnumDecisionType.eOkDecision, message, "UserProfile success", EnumDecisionReturn.eOK, EnumDecisionReturn.eOK);
    }
    

     

    Set ClientId name to work with specific API service in EPLAN Cloud:

    //ClientId of specific EPLAN Cloud API application
    string ClientId = "Proper_Client_Id_Name";
    

     

    Notice:
    ClientId is case-sensitive and can be found on EPLAN Cloud Developer Portal inside tooltip of product tag:       

     

     

    Use the GetHttpClient() method to work with EPLAN Cloud API endpoints:

    //Initialize httpClient object
    var url = "https://api.eplan.com/estockservice/v2.0/";
    HttpClient httpClient = null;
    IdentityClientResponse httpClientRespone = IdentityClient.GetHttpClient(strClientId, url, ref httpClient);
    
    //Get collections
    if (httpClientRespone.IsSuccess)
    {
         HttpResponseMessage GetAsyncResult = httpClient.GetAsync("collections").Result;
         string message = $"Status: {GetAsyncResult.StatusCode.ToString()},\nResult: {GetAsyncResult.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result}";
         new Decider().Decide(EnumDecisionType.eOkDecision, message, "Get result", EnumDecisionReturn.eOK, EnumDecisionReturn.eOK);
    }
    

     

    The GetAccessToken() is called internally by GetHttpClient(), but it is still possible to use this method directly:

    //Get access Token
    IdentityClientResponse tokenResponse = IdentityClient.GetAccessToken(strClientId);
    

     

    Sign out and exit:

    //Sign out
    Task<IdentityClientResponse> response = IdentityClient.Signout();
    IdentityClientResponse signOutResult = response.Result;
    
    if (signOutResult.IsSuccess)
        new Decider().Decide(EnumDecisionType.eOkDecision, "Sign out success", "Result", EnumDecisionReturn.eOK, EnumDecisionReturn.eOK);
    
    
    //Exit IdentityClient
    IdentityClientResponse exitResponse = IdentityClient.Exit();
    
    if (exitResponse.IsSuccess)
        new Decider().Decide(EnumDecisionType.eOkDecision, "Exit success", "Result", EnumDecisionReturn.eOK, EnumDecisionReturn.eOK);
