We've got an install of Azure Devops server that currently authenticates against our active directory server and authentication works, but it appears to do so by means of browser basic authentication (the browser modal prompt that asks for a simple user name and password).
I'm wondering if there is some way to configure authentication such that users that have never logged in, actually get a login page... not just the basic authentication prompt in the browser.
I appreciate any input, I've used and administered azure devops in the cloud for a LONG time, but the devops server stuff I'm new to.
NOTE: I've played with IIS settings for authentication (enabling and disabling basic authentication and forms auth etc, but nothing really seemed to help there)
it appears to do so by means of browser basic authentication (the
browser modal prompt that asks for a simple user name and password).
I'm wondering if there is some way to configure authentication such
that users that have never logged in, actually get a login page... not
just the basic authentication prompt in the browser.
What's the login page do you mean?
1.If you mean the login page to connect to TFS web portal, as I know using basic prompt with username+password is the only appraoch.
Web Portal:
Only logic page:
2.But if you mean something used for authentication when accessing the code. I think you must be familiar with PAT which is widely used in Azure Devops Service. IIS Basic Authentication is not recommended. You can check Enabling IIS Basic Authentication invalidates using Personal Access Tokens and Use the TFS Cross Platform Command Line with TFS using basic authentication or personal access tokens (PATs).
Hope it helps to resolve your puzzle :)
So after lots of research, I found that in the differences between azure devops server and azure devops services documentation. In this documentation it states that it uses windows authentication, and you will never be presented with any login experience.
I'd vote that this should be something that be configured to show a login screen, as sometimes we want to log in as users other than the users we logged into the machine as.

I have a webapp that uses Keycloak for user management and auth provider successfully.
The same application requires a CLI tool for some operations (similar to the gcloud CLI + web console).
I've implemented the CLI part using the OIDC Authorization Code Flow that opens the browser for the user to authenticate. It works like a charm.
However, if the user logoff from the browser, Keycloak will invalidate the session and the cli will have to re-authenticate to get a new access_token and refresh_token.
My question here is, how can I force the CLI app login to create a new session separate from the browser session.
Or, if not possible, what's the correct way of achieving this?
Eventually, found out that I just have to add the scope offline_access to the list of scopes I am requesting. Keycloak will then create a new offline session (bad name for the feature, Offline just means that the user doesn't have to be present, but all the refreshes happen the same way)

I am working on Microsoft Graph with powershell script.
I am using authorization grant flow to get the access token to retrieve the emails from a shared mailbox using my user account, whenever I provide my login credentials, its giving me below error related to the MFA.
Invoke-RestMethod :
{"error":"invalid_grant","error_description":"AADSTS50076: Due to a
configuration change made by your administrator, or because you moved
to a new location, you must use multi-factor authentication to
access '00000003-0000-0000-c000-000000000000'
Is there any way to launch a MFA authentication window from powershell script?
Any help or example is appreciated.
You say “you provide credentials”, do you mean you’re setting the username and password in powershell?
You have several ways, it would suggest to use the “device code flow”. Then the login part is done in the browser, where you have all those multi-factor things configured.
Someone made a great blog about it, https://blog.simonw.se/getting-an-access-token-for-azuread-using-powershell-and-device-login-flow/
I integrate Google's Auth API in my production website.
When I enter the login page, it throws an idpiframe_initialization_failed exceptions to the console.
I found out that I can fix it by enabling that API / Cookies in my chrome browser, but I want to find a comprehensive solution that will prevent those exceptions in my production environment.
So my two questions are:
What do you suggest me to do in order to achieve that?
In general, what is the meaning of those excpections?
Thanks :)
If you have a production url like http://godaddysite.com etc host your page there with a Webserver.
Opening a htnl page from your computer with javascript doesnot work as it is not hosted on webserver.
Please check your redirect url etc when you created Oauth client.
Go to the Credentials page.
Click Create credentials > OAuth client ID.
Select the Web application application type.
Name your OAuth 2.0 client and click Create
check origins
create new OAuth with correct origins.
I do not see [Application Groups] folder in my ADFS. How can I install it to see it in my AD FS Management?
I want my WEB API(REST) project to connect to ADFS for authentication. Additionally, I want to test my REST API Authentication without a login screen, please help in this as well. My API will be consumed by CRM users, who are already connected to ADFS. Now the requirement is to create an REST API which will be hit by CRM users and CRM user will pass a userid and password which will be authenticated by ADFS internally without login screen. How can I do that?
Any help please.
Thanks
Application Groups are only available in Server 2016 and 2019. They are available in the ADFS wizard by default.
In terms of sample code for calling API, have a look here.
I am starting to work with Dynamics 365 Portal add-on (Online, not on-prem), which I've configured to use an external authentication provider in the form of Identity Server with OpenId Connect. The problem with this is that I don't have access to the under-the-hood portal authentication process, there's just a few basic config settings and users can authenticate using the external IdP. I can't access roles, claims, or any custom info that might come back as part of the OpenId Connect user's profile (userinfo object response). I need to get at that data to customize the portal user experience. I've looked through whatever documentation I could find on the portal but can't find anything. Am I missing something or is it just not possible to access that info and customize the portal login process? Since it doesn't seem possible to do anything server-side within the portal because it's Online, can I do anything client-side within the portal to get the OpenID access token and call the UserInfo endpoint with that?
I had a case open with Microsoft and finally got an answer from them: In Dynamics CRM Online with the Online Portal add-on, there is currently no way to access anything coming back from an external identity provider. So for example, if you've configured the portal to use an external identity provider such Google, Facebook, etc, or like in my case an Identity Server instance with OpenId Connect, you can't access the claims or any other info coming back from the provider.
UPDATE:
I got another response from Microsoft support: they have confirmed their dev teams are working on making this available but don't have an ETA yet. At least it's on their radar.
