CommunicationTokenCredential
Static Token (Short-lived Clients)
import com.azure.communication.common.CommunicationTokenCredential;
// Simple static token - no refresh
String userToken = "<user-access-token>";
CommunicationTokenCredential credential = new CommunicationTokenCredential(userToken);
// Use with Chat, Calling, etc.
ChatClient chatClient = new ChatClientBuilder()
.endpoint("https://<resource>.communication.azure.com")
.credential(credential)
.buildClient();Proactive Token Refresh (Long-lived Clients)
import com.azure.communication.common.CommunicationTokenRefreshOptions;
import java.util.concurrent.Callable;
// Token refresher callback - called when token is about to expire
Callable<String> tokenRefresher = () -> {
// Call your server to get a fresh token
return fetchNewTokenFromServer();
};
// With proactive refresh
CommunicationTokenRefreshOptions refreshOptions = new CommunicationTokenRefreshOptions(tokenRefresher)
.setRefreshProactively(true) // Refresh before expiry
.setInitialToken(currentToken); // Optional initial token
CommunicationTokenCredential credential = new CommunicationTokenCredential(refreshOptions);Async Token Refresh
import java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture;
// Async token fetcher
Callable<String> asyncRefresher = () -> {
CompletableFuture<String> future = fetchTokenAsync();
return future.get(); // Block until token is available
};
CommunicationTokenRefreshOptions options = new CommunicationTokenRefreshOptions(asyncRefresher)
.setRefreshProactively(true);
CommunicationTokenCredential credential = new CommunicationTokenCredential(options);Entra ID (Azure AD) Authentication
import com.azure.identity.InteractiveBrowserCredentialBuilder;
import com.azure.communication.common.EntraCommunicationTokenCredentialOptions;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
// For Teams Phone Extensibility
InteractiveBrowserCredential entraCredential = new InteractiveBrowserCredentialBuilder()
.clientId("<your-client-id>")
.tenantId("<your-tenant-id>")
.redirectUrl("<your-redirect-uri>")
.build();
String resourceEndpoint = "https://<resource>.communication.azure.com";
List<String> scopes = Arrays.asList(
"https://auth.msft.communication.azure.com/TeamsExtension.ManageCalls"
);
EntraCommunicationTokenCredentialOptions entraOptions =
new EntraCommunicationTokenCredentialOptions(entraCredential, resourceEndpoint)
.setScopes(scopes);
CommunicationTokenCredential credential = new CommunicationTokenCredential(entraOptions);Communication Identifiers
CommunicationUserIdentifier
import com.azure.communication.common.CommunicationUserIdentifier;
// Create identifier for ACS user
CommunicationUserIdentifier user = new CommunicationUserIdentifier("8:acs:resource-id_user-id");
// Get raw ID
String rawId = user.getId();PhoneNumberIdentifier
import com.azure.communication.common.PhoneNumberIdentifier;
// E.164 format phone number
PhoneNumberIdentifier phone = new PhoneNumberIdentifier("+14255551234");
String phoneNumber = phone.getPhoneNumber(); // "+14255551234"
String rawId = phone.ge🎯 Best For
