"error" : "Could not parse auth token.

[felipeoliveirar]

Hi. can you help me with this issue. When I send the token in firebase option happens this error.

[jaybowman]

I'm using version 2.0.2 and firebaseAuthentication.net 3.0.5, here is how my code looks.

var token = _auth.FirebaseToken;

var query = await _client.Child(_userCollection) .Child(userId) .WithAuth(() => { return token; }) .OnceSingleAsync(); Sorry don't think this will help since I'm not on the current version that uses the new firebaseclient with the firebaseOptions object.

[felipeoliveirar]

my _client doesn't have the .WithAuth()

[jaybowman]

Yes, I had the same issue with version 3.0.2 so I reverted back to 2.0.2 which was working for me. Sorry I could not help.

[felipeoliveirar]

no problem. Thanks for help me.. :D

[jaybowman]

I have it working with the new 3.0.2 version. At first I got an error. Then I recompiled the firebase.dll from the src folder that is available from the nuget package. Then everything works. I guess the firebase.database package uses an auth token on all db calls, even if the Firebase db rules don't require it.

[felipeoliveirar]

How you did it? Can you print and post here? the step by step. After you did it you change all to .WithAuth() ?

[jaybowman]

With Version 3.0.2 there is not a public .WithAuth() method. Here is my initialization code.

var config = new FirebaseConfig("my firebase api key"); var authProvider = new FirebaseAuthProvider(config);

string user = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["firebaseUser"]; string pw = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["firebasePw"];

 _auth = await authProvider.SignInWithEmailAndPasswordAsync(user, pw);

  _fbClient = new FirebaseClient(_basePath,
            new FirebaseOptions()
            {
                AuthTokenAsyncFactory = () => Task.FromResult(_auth.FirebaseToken)
            });

Then in my getUser() (the users firebase collection has an authenticated user rule to retrieve users.)

var query = await _client.Child(_userCollection) .Child(userId) // .WithAuth(() => { return token; }) // previous version needed the withAuth() .OnceSingleAsync();

return query;

[felipeoliveirar]

hum.. Thanks @jaybowman I will try it here.. thanks

[felipeoliveirar]

@jaybowman I didn't find the FirebaseConfig are you using the FirebaseDatabase.net ? or the FirebaseAuth of Xamarin?

[felipeoliveirar]

I am making my connection this way:

      if (_client == null)
        {
            _client = new FirebaseClient(
                baseUrl: Constantes.Constantes.STRING_URL,
                options: new FirebaseOptions
                {
                    OfflineDatabaseFactory = (t, s) => new OfflineDatabase(t, s),
                });

            databaseOffline = _client.Child("Cliente").AsRealtimeDatabase<Cliente>();
            databaseOffline.SyncExceptionThrown += (s, ex) => Console.WriteLine(ex.Exception);
        }

adn the request this way

var itemsonline = _client
                .Child("Cliente")
                .OnceAsync<Cliente>();

            var retornodoservidor = await itemsonline;

            var listitemsnoservidor = retornodoservidor.ToList();

[jaybowman]

I'm using: package id="FirebaseAuthentication.net" version="3.0.5" targetFramework="net452" package id="FirebaseDatabase.net" version="3.0.2" targetFramework="net452"

My app is a commandline console application, not a Xamarin mobile app.

[felipeoliveirar]

hum.. thanks @jaybowman .. I will try to do here..

[felipeoliveirar]

@jaybowman when I try to connect.. appear when I try to sigging. return an exeption null. where i get this "my firebase api key". on google.json? I took that one. but didn't work

[jaybowman]

For my console app I'm using the firebase apikey from firebase web config. The API key is a little different for each firebase app type (Android - google-services.json, IOS - GoogleServices-info.plist, and web).

[felipeoliveirar]

keeps return null :( i don't know how to make that works..

[felipeoliveirar]

@jaybowman I did a new project just with this method of login and password.. but ever when I try to auth with mail and password.. it returns null. in your api-key you just insert it or make some change? I.E: https://your-api-key ??

[JWiersema]

I have this same problem with 'the simplest solution' (could not parse auth token): var auth = "ABCDE"; // your app secret var firebaseClient = new FirebaseClient( "", new FirebaseOptions { AuthTokenAsyncFactory = () => Task.FromResult(auth) }); I use the WEB API Key in from firebase > Web API Key from an .net Azure Function.

When I use FirebaseAuthentication.net and setup anonymous access in Firebase and then the code works: var config = new FirebaseConfig(FirebaseSettings.authKey); var authProvider = new FirebaseAuthProvider(config);

        var auth = await authProvider.SignInAnonymouslyAsync();

        this.fbClient = new FirebaseClient(
          FirebaseSettings.endPoint,
          new FirebaseOptions
          {
              AuthTokenAsyncFactory = () => Task.FromResult(auth.FirebaseToken)
          });

Then I can write to the database. But what I want is a database that is readonly for users but write-enabled for my server side code by app only token. How do I achieve this? Different question: I created my collection by hand. Is it possible to create (if not exists) this from within the .Net code using this library?

@bezysoftware Any updates? I have absolutely the same issue. The simplest example does not work at all? I use my Web ApiKey and the latest version from Nuget 3.3.3

[alombard]

Hi Folks - I'm having the same issue - do I need to do something special with the basic example? Is Firebase supposed to be set up with Anonymous access for this library to work?

Cheers.

Andrew

[alombard]

Update on this - you need to use the now legacy Firebase Database Secret to get this to work. Apparently Firebase has deprecated this method of authentication so I would not bank on this working long term. That said my code started to magically work when I used the key from the Database Secrets portion of the project config.

Hope this helps,

Andrew
