C#: Provide a code sample to show how to obtain g: ID device ticket using OnlineId API

[maxgolov]

Our existing customers (MS Office, Edge) utilize OnlineId API to retrieve a global device ticket presentable to Collector++ service. That API allows to uniquely identify the global MSA Device Id, that a device gets assigned once during Windows installation.

Unfortunately there is no reference code example in SDK how to do that. Other customers are interested in enabling that flow and frequently asking for a customer sample.

Need to add sample for:

std::wstring serviceUrl = Mso::AB::Setting<std::wstring>(L"Microsoft.Office.Telemetry.MsaDeviceAuthServiceUrl", L"https://events.data.microsoft.com/OneCollector/1.0/");
std::wstring protocol = Mso::AB::Setting<std::wstring>(L"Microsoft.Office.Telemetry.MsaDeviceAuthPolicy", L"NFS_1wk_compact_SSL");
hr = onlineIdServiceTicketRequestFactory->CreateOnlineIdServiceTicketRequest(
    HStringReference(serviceUrl.c_str()).Get(),
    HStringReference(protocol.c_str()).Get(),
    &onlineIdServiceTicketRequest);

Note that MRW team might be needing this example for UWP C# app as well.
It is not clear if we can rely on OnlineId service API from Universal Store app.

While I'm finding the other APIs in C#, I can't find onlineIdServiceTicketRequestFactory. The ctor for OnlineIdServiceTicketRequest takes a service and policy string. Do you think I can simply use the above two strings directly?

Please try passing this and let us know if you are getting the proper ticket value. One option is to try C++ SDK and compare if you get the same ticket using C# API you mentioned.

@reyang - this ask is unique to C# customers using Direct Upload mode. At this time we do not have a documented / confirmed way of obtaining MSA User Id token from a C# app layer. This is not an issue for native C++ layer on Windows, specific only to C# layer. One suggestion is for the customer to explore what options are available, possibly for the customer to follow-up with ADAL team on that.

C# layer work not resourced for [Mn].

[maxgolov]

Currently this C# SDK-related work is not resourced. Best course of action for someone needing to obtain MSA User ID ticket is to reach out to ADAL team or explore how the ticket acquisition is done in native code by Edge and Office teams. Closing this. Won't fix.
