"login.microsoftonline.com" wants to open external app

[jrngsg]

I have a mobile app that has sso configured in azure. After input work email address, it comes to below screen. When tap on Continue button, it pop up "login.microsoftonline.com" wants to open external app and presented 2 options.

i am puzzled why is it so? when i tap 'stay in microsoft edge', nothing happens even though i have edge installed and already login to work account. i have to tap 'open external app' and it will proceed with login success.

edge and this mobile app are installed in the work profile.

Hi @jrngsg ,

The reason why you are seeing the "login.microsoftonline.com wants to open external app" prompt is because the mobile app is configured to use Azure Active Directory (AAD) for single sign-on (SSO). When you tap the Continue button in the mobile app, it is redirecting you to the AAD login page.

Also, it looks like you have Edge installed in the work profile, so you should be able to tap the "Stay in Microsoft Edge" option and log in to AAD. However, if Edge is not installed in the work profile, or if it is not configured to handle AAD SSO, then you will need to tap the "Open external app" option.

Best Regards,

In the App protection policy, are you redirecting web data yo edge?
