Create a lead in Microsoft Dynamics Nav 365, from PHP CURL - php

Question

Good morning all,
I'm trying to create a lead entity in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 365, from a php CURL script. However I keep getting a "HTTP Error 401 - Unauthorised: Access is denied" in my CURL response. I can however, create a lead via the web interface fine.
I've created my object from the lead entity type as described on the MSDN docs website.
Below is my code:
$lead = array('person' =>
array(
'topic' => 'WEB LEAD',
'name' => $fullname,
'firstname' => $firstname,
'lastname' => $lastname,
'companyname' => $company,
'telephone1' => $telephone,
'emailaddress1' => $email,
'description' => $comment,
),
);
$dynamics = $url . '/api/data/v8.2/leads';
$ch = curl_init($dynamics);
$options = array(
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8',
'OData-MaxVersion: 4.0',
'OData-Version: 4.0',
'Accept: application/json',
),
CURLOPT_HEADER => true,
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_POST => true,
CURLOPT_USERPWD, 'username:password',
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => json_encode($lead),
);
curl_setopt_array($ch, $options);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
$responseInfo = curl_getinfo($ch);
curl_close($ch);

Answer 1

You need previously get authorization token from AAD
After you get all token you need to add the authorization in the request http header
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8',
'OData-MaxVersion: 4.0',
'OData-Version: 4.0',
'Accept: application/json',
'Authorization: <put the token here completly with name>',
),

Adding curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_NTLM); solved the problem for me. The whole source looks like this:
$ch = curl_init();
if(!empty($parameters)){ //Add params (array) to your request if you want
$url .= "?".http_build_query($parameters);
}
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_NTLM);
$login = sprintf('%s:%s', self::USERNAME, self::PASSWORD);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $login);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Connection: Keep-Alive',
'Accept: application/json',
'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8'
)
);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
$response_info = curl_getinfo($ch);
curl_close($ch);
