This sample demonstrates how to useMSAL Node to acquire an access token for a protected resource such as Microsoft Graph in a console daemon application using the application's own identity with the (client credentials flow).

This sample demonstrates the followingMSAL Node concepts:

• Configuration
• Acquiring an access token
• Calling a web API

• Node.js must be installed to run this sample.
• Visual Studio Code is recommended for running and editing this sample.

1. Register a new application in theMicrosoft Entra admin center.
   1. For API Permissions, selectUser.Read.All underMicrosoft APIs >Microsoft Graph >Application Permissions.
   2. SelectGrant admin consent for {tenant}.
2. Clone this repositorygit clone https://github.com/Azure-Samples/ms-identity-javascript-nodejs-console.git
3. Open the.env file and provide the required configuration values.
   1. Replace the stringEnter_the_Tenant_Info_Here with your tenant ID on Microsoft Entra admin center.
   2. Replace the stringEnter_the_Application_Id_Here with your app/client ID on Microsoft Entra admin center.
   3. Replace the stringEnter_the_Client_Secret_Here with the client secret you created on Microsoft Entra admin center.
   4. Replace the stringEnter_the_Cloud_Instance_Id_Here withhttps://login.microsoftonline.com/ (seenote below).
   5. Replace the stringEnter_the_Graph_Endpoint_Here. withhttps://graph.microsoft.com/ (seenote below).

1. On the command line, navigate to the root of the repository, and typenpm install.

ℹ️ Alternative, typenpm install -g. This will install the CLI application globally so that it can be called from anywhere.

1. On the command line, navigate to the root of the repository and run the sample application withnode . --op getUsers.

ℹ️ If you have installed the sample app globally above, typemsal-node-cli --op getUsers from anywhere in a command line.
