@chilly-king-10285 I am using self-hosted Kratos for my .NET project and I am trying to implement the login logic.. it looks something like this now: "Configuration config = new Configuration(); config.BasePath = "<base_path>"; var frontendApi = new FrontendApi(config); var loginflow = frontendApi.CreateBrowserLoginFlow(); var flowId = loginflow.Id; var csrf_token = ??? KratosUpdateLoginFlowWithPasswordMethod method = new(csrf_token, request.Email, "password", request.Password); var updateLoginFlowBody = new KratosUpdateLoginFlowBody(method); var result = frontendApi.UpdateLoginFlow(flowId, updateLoginFlowBody); var session = result.Session;" ... email and password come from request to my API.. my question is, how am I able to get the csrf_token, that was probably created in the "frontendApi.CreateBrowserLoginFlow();" method?

To get the
csrf_token
after calling the
CreateBrowserLoginFlow()
method, you need to inspect the returned
LoginFlow
object. The
csrf_token
is part of the
ui
object within the
LoginFlow
object, specifically under
ui.nodes.attributes
where
name
is
csrf_token
. Here's a simplified example of how you might extract the `csrf_token`:
Copy code
csharp var loginFlow = frontendApi.CreateBrowserLoginFlow(); var flowId = loginFlow.Id;  string csrf_token = null;  foreach (var node in loginFlow.Ui.Nodes) {     if (node.Attributes.Name == "csrf_token")     {         csrf_token = node.Attributes.Value;         break;     } }  if (csrf_token == null) {     // Handle error: CSRF token not found in login flow }
This code iterates over the
nodes
in the
ui
object of the
LoginFlow
, looking for an input field with the name
csrf_token
. Once it finds this field, it extracts the
value
, which is the
csrf_token
you need. Please note that this is a simplified example and you might need to adjust it to fit your actual code and handle potential errors. For more information, you can refer to the following knowledge sources: - [Kratos API Reference - Create Login Flow for Browsers](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/reference/api) - [Kratos - Bring-your-own-ui - Integration basics - CSRF errors](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/bring-your-own-ui/custom-ui-basic-integration#csrf-errors) - [Kratos - Self-service flows - Form rendering](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/self-service#form-rendering)

@chilly-king-10285 thanks! however, I am not able to get it as I am getting error: "Error CS1061 'KratosUiNodeAttributes' does not contain a definition for 'Name' and no accessible extension method 'Name' accepting a first argument of type 'KratosUiNodeAttributes' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)".. I can see in debugger that it can be stored in node.Attributes.ActualInstance.Name and same for the value but I am getting the same error.. any other ideas how to get it?
