Ipad and Iphone having issues after enabling MFA on office.com

Hi All,

 

I have recently enabled MFA for office.com for limited set of users and we have been getting cases specific to iphone and ipad where users who are using the mobile app for Excel , dropbox  are getting HTTP 1.1 / Service Unavailable post MFA authentication.

 

Does anyone else has this issue? Does Microsoft has a solution ?

 

 

Thanks,

Parin Das

      IPads all IOS11 + .. we are aware that modern authentication does not work on older IOS versions.

       

      My thoughts are either that it is a firewall issue.   However Networking confirms all MS URLs / Ports are added (firewall has a MS application service)

       

      Mobileiron (MDM) is pushing down password periodically and breaking something.

       

      All users are using the MS authenticator app.   I have contacted MS for correct Firewall bypass Hosts and ports, but nobody can provide.

       

      We have the option to manually configure the exchange config (rather than MDM pushing) also use Outlook App (however this will not go down well with some users)

       

      So far manually configuring the exchange settings seems to be working.   However this is additional step we would prefer not to do.    Android enterprise setup is very nice and quick!

    we are also experiencing issues with ios devices.   Users prompted to approve, via ms auth app.  click approve then are prompted over and over!

     

    Is there an issue MS?
