public static bool IsEmbeddedWebViewAvailable(this IPublicClientApplication publicClientApplication)

Parameters

publicClientApplication IPublicClientApplication

Remarks

Currently there are no embedded webviews on Mac and Linux. On Windows, app developers or users should install the WebView2 runtime and this property will inform if the runtime is available, see https://aka.ms/msal-net-webview2

IsSystemWebViewAvailable(IPublicClientApplication)

Returns true if MSAL can use a system browser.

public static bool IsSystemWebViewAvailable(this IPublicClientApplication publicClientApplication)

Parameters

publicClientApplication IPublicClientApplication

Returns

bool

Remarks

On Windows, Mac and Linux a system browser can always be used, except in cases where there is no UI, e.g. SSH connection. On Android, the browser must support tabs.

IsUserInteractive(IPublicClientApplication)

Returns false when the program runs in headless OS, for example when SSH-ed into a Linux machine. Browsers (webviews) and brokers cannot be used if there is no UI support. Instead, please use AcquireTokenWithDeviceCode(IEnumerable<string>, Func<DeviceCodeResult, Task>) or AcquireTokenByIntegratedWindowsAuth(IEnumerable<string>)

public static bool IsUserInteractive(this IPublicClientApplication publicClientApplication)

Parameters

publicClientApplication IPublicClientApplication
