Redirect URIs can now contain query string parameters
Effective date: July 22, 2019 Endpoints impacted: Both v1.0 and v2.0 Protocol impacted: All flows Per RFC 6749, Microsoft Entra applications can now register and use redirect (reply) URIs with static query parameters (such as https://contoso.com/oauth2?idp=microsoft) for OAuth 2.0 requests. Dynamic redirect URIs are still forbidden as they represent a security risk, and this can't be used to retain state information across an authentication request - for that, use the state parameter. The static query parameter is subject to string matching for redirect URIs like any other part of the redirect URI - if no string is registered that matches the URI-decoded redirect_uri, then the request will be rejected. If the URI is found in the app registration, then the entire string will be used to redirect the user, including the static query parameter. At this time (End of July 2019), the app registration UX in Azure portal still block query parameters. However, you can edit the application manifest manually to add query parameters and test this in your app.
