People have asked me about above question in many forums, and I personally have used ADAL (Active Directory Authentication Library) to get one. But here i would show you can use simple Http client to get one. In following example, I would show you how to get  bearer token for Azure Resource manager; Before you jump in, you must have created AzureAD application and have it assigned desired permissions to Azure Resource Manager. In olden days it was done through horrible powershell cmdlets, now days its done through new Azure Portal.

Recently I was working on a task where we had to call some SQL statements from publisher channel on a JDBC driver to different tables than the ones driver was configured to sync. The official documentation suggest to achieve this using jdbc-statement but it only schedules them on the subscriber channel, best suited for calling some SQL for stored procedure. The way I solved it was using XSLT and enabling Subscriber channel. On the publisher  Command Transformation Channel , I have following XSLT: < xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:jdbc = "urn:dirxml:jdbc" xmlns:query = "http://www.novell.com/nxsl/java/com.novell.nds.dirxml.driver.XdsQueryProcessor" version = "1.0" > < xsl:param name = "srcQueryProcessor" /> < xsl:param name = "destQueryProcessor" /> < xsl:template match = "node()|@*" > < xsl:copy > &
