public virtual System.Threading.Tasks.Task<string> CreateAuthorizationHeaderForUserAsync (System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<string> scopes, Microsoft.Identity.Abstractions.AuthorizationHeaderProviderOptions? authorizationHeaderProviderOptions = default, System.Security.Claims.ClaimsPrincipal? claimsPrincipal = default, System.Threading.CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
abstract member CreateAuthorizationHeaderForUserAsync : seq<string> * Microsoft.Identity.Abstractions.AuthorizationHeaderProviderOptions * System.Security.Claims.ClaimsPrincipal * System.Threading.CancellationToken -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task<string>
override this.CreateAuthorizationHeaderForUserAsync : seq<string> * Microsoft.Identity.Abstractions.AuthorizationHeaderProviderOptions * System.Security.Claims.ClaimsPrincipal * System.Threading.CancellationToken -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task<string>
Public Overridable Function CreateAuthorizationHeaderForUserAsync (scopes As IEnumerable(Of String), Optional authorizationHeaderProviderOptions As AuthorizationHeaderProviderOptions = Nothing, Optional claimsPrincipal As ClaimsPrincipal = Nothing, Optional cancellationToken As CancellationToken = Nothing) As Task(Of String)

Parameters

scopes
IEnumerable<String>

Scopes for which to request the authorization header.

authorizationHeaderProviderOptions
AuthorizationHeaderProviderOptions

Information about the API that will be called (for some protocols like Pop), and token acquisition options.

claimsPrincipal
ClaimsPrincipal

Inbound authentication elements. In a web API, this is usually the result of the validation of a token. In a web app, this would be information about the signed-in user. This is not useful in daemon applications. In Microsoft.Identity.Web you rarely need to provide this parameter as it's inferred from the context.

cancellationToken
CancellationToken

Cancellation token.

Returns

A string containing the authorization header, that is protocol and tokens (for instance: "Bearer token", "PoP token", etc ...).
