Compile Error: SecurityTokenExpiredException exists in both 'Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens' and 'Microsoft.IdentityModel'

See original GitHub issue

Hi there,

Looking for some guidance around this particular compilation issue.

Packages in use that are conflicting on the type "SecurityTokenExpiredException " which I’m catching in try/catch block:

  <package id="Microsoft.IdentityModel" version="6.1.7600.16394" targetFramework="net45" />
  <package id="Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens" version="5.2.4" targetFramework="net45" />

These packages are referenced by the SharePointPnPCoreOnline - however I don’t think the problem lies with them?

Those packages are:

  <package id="SharePointPnP.IdentityModel.Extensions" version="1.2.4" targetFramework="net45" />
  <package id="SharePointPnPCoreOnline" version="3.1.1809" targetFramework="net45" />

Example code usage:

            bool contextTokenExpired = false;

            try
            {
                if (SharePointContextProvider.Current.GetSharePointContext(httpContext) != null)
                {
                    return RedirectionStatus.Ok;
                }
            }
            catch (SecurityTokenExpiredException)
            {
                contextTokenExpired = true;
            }

Full error:

Severity	Code	Description	Project	File	Line	Suppression State
Error	CS0433	The type 'SecurityTokenExpiredException' exists in both 'Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens, Version=5.2.4.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' and 'Microsoft.IdentityModel, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'	...	...\SharePointContext.cs	333	N/A

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

As a bandaid, I’m making the catch less specific and invalidating the token on any exception.

            try
            {
                if (SharePointContextProvider.Current.GetSharePointContext(httpContext) != null)
                {
                    return RedirectionStatus.Ok;
                }
            }
            catch
            {
                contextTokenExpired = true;
            }

Hey @brentschmaltz,

<package id="SharePointPnPCoreOnline" version="3.1.1809" targetFramework="net45" />

Is the core nuget package that references the two conflicting IdentityModel packages.

Is that what you’re looking for?
