Location resolved base on IP is inconsistent

There appears to be a difference between the service used by AAD and MCAS to resolve an IP to a physical location.

 

We got an alert in MCAS for a user logging in from Sweden while in the Netherlands. According to AAD, the IP address is located in The Netherlands, but not for MCAS?

 

 

  • Hi bart_vermeersch,

     

    Thank you for the feedback.

     

    You are correct.  MCAS doesn’t use the same geo provider as AAD. We are aligning to the same geo provider, so this should not be a issue in the future.  No ETA at the moment however.
