Refresh access token failed with status code: 400 about botframework-emulator HOT 10 CLOSED

Hi Is there a solution to this?

from botframework-emulator.

@dhanala89 Can you try it with no MSA appId or password on both sides (bot and emulator)?

from botframework-emulator.

Strange! That worked. So is the solution going forward?

from botframework-emulator.

@eanders-ms yep, it works. But question is: Is it a bug or expected behaviour?

Hi @dhanala89 No this doesn't have to be the solution going forward, it should work with a valid appId/password pair. In your code snippet, you're using '123' and '123' as your appId and password. This isn't a valid appId/password pair. I want to check with you to make sure you were testing with a valid appId and password, generated for you by the MSA service.

To generate valid MSA appId and password, just register your bot at botframework.com.

@eanders-ms I did try with registered app Id and password - result was the same. But anyway why validate appId/password for bot when you provide it in both bot and emulator? Ain't it enough that they just match? And if I just want to play with it and create several bots is it reasonable to make people register each of them, in order to properly test them in emulator?

@sepulchered We don't send password over the wire, so it is impossible to simply compare them. We rely on the MSA service to generate a token for us, which requires a valid MSA-generated appId and password.

@eanders-ms so there is no way to check your bot via emulator while you're offline?

from botframework-emulator.

@sepulchered MSA authentication requires internet connectivity. You can test your bot with the emulator offline by clearing out your MSA info on both sides of the connection (bot and emulator)

@eanders-ms I see. Thank you for explanation. Think it should be somewhere in the docs.
Also we can close this issue now, I think.
