Error 50105 has been fixed to not return interaction_required during interactive authentication
Effective date: October 2021 Endpoints impacted: v2.0 and v1.0 Protocol impacted: All user flows for apps requiring user assignment Change Error 50105 (the current designation) is emitted when an unassigned user attempts to sign into an app that an admin has marked as requiring user assignment. This is a common access control pattern, and users must often find an admin to request assignment to unblock access. The error had a bug that would cause infinite loops in well-coded applications that correctly handled the interaction_required error response. interaction_required tells an app to perform interactive authentication, but even after doing so Microsoft Entra ID would still return an interaction_required error response. The error scenario has been updated, so that during non-interactive authentication (where prompt=none is used to hide UX), the app will be instructed to perform interactive authentication using an interaction_required error response. In the subsequent interactive authentication, Microsoft Entra ID will now hold the user and show an error message directly, preventing a loop from occurring. As a reminder, your application code shouldn't make decisions based on error code strings like AADSTS50105. Instead, follow our error-handling guidance and use the standardized authentication responses like interaction_required and login_required found in the standard error field in the response. The other response fields are intended for consumption only by humans troubleshooting their issues. You can review the current text of the 50105 error and more on the error looku…
