External (guest) users can't access my registered application
We have a FileMaker application registered with Entra ID, using OAuth, for internal and external (guests) users in my organization. Since January 19th, external users have been encountering a different authentication process, which results in a 404 error (see images below). No changes were made to the Entra ID or the application configurations before this change in behaviour. It seems that logging in to a personal account results in an incorrect token for the redirect URL, which does not happen when logging in with organizational accounts.Grant Just-in-Time Admin Access with Microsoft Entra PIM
In my lab, I worked with Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM) to grant Just-in-Time admin access. Instead of permanent assignments, users become eligible for roles and must activate them only when needed. Steps I tested: - Configured roles as eligible rather than permanent - Required MFA and approval for role activation - Verified access automatically expired after the time window This approach reduces standing privileges and aligns with Zero Trust by securing privileged access. Curious — does your org still keep permanent Global Admins, or have you moved to JIT with PIM?
Force user to reset password in hybrid
Hi, we work in a hybrid environment at the moment, and it has been discovered that if you are using classic AD and reset a user's password and leave the tick-box saying user must change password at next logon, the password reset works! But, if you were to select the tick-box with the intention to make the user change their password, the password does not get reset and the user never gets asked to reset their password? Also, if you try and reset the user's password on AAD, you get the following error message: Because we cannot force the user to reset their password by AD or AAD, we have to tell the user to do it themselves by the classic Ctrl-Alt-Del method or set their personal password for them over the phone. So, what my question is, is why can I not force the user to change their password from either AD or AAD?Reachability of a domain across multiple tenants
I have a general question about an Entra scenario that we currently need to implement. Our company consists of 3 companies (companyA.com, companyB.com, companyC.com), each with their own MS Tenant. Here, A is the parent company and B and C are subsidiaries. Is it somehow possible, perhaps with Cross Tenant Synchronization from B, C -> A, that users from the subsidiaries can log in with the parent company's domain name in Entra, Teams & Co., and that Teams invitations can also be sent via an email address of the parent company? So I have mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons and I would like this user to also be known as mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons in the Microsoft ecosystem. From a marketing perspective, it is important that all employees log in and are reachable with the same domain. A migration into one tenant is probably not easily possible for legal reasons. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Christian
Entra Risky Users Custom Role
My customer implemented unified RBAC (Defender Portal) and removed the Entra Security Operator role. They lost the ability to manage Risky Users in Entra. Two options explored by the customer - Protected Identity Administrator role (licensing unclear) or create a custom role with microsoft.directory/identityProtection/riskyUsers/update, which they couldn't find under custom role. Do you know if there are other options to manage Risky Users without using the Security Operator role?
NPS Extension for azure MFA and multiple tenants?
Hi, is it possible to setup one NPS server with the Extension for Azure MFA to authenticate against multiple tenants? The onprem AD has azure ad connector for each domain and the users are in sync with there tenants. Its a RDS setup with one RD Gateway and one NPS server and multiple RD servers. I need email address removed for privacy reasons and email address removed for privacy reasons etc. to authenticate with MFA, but i can only get the users on the tenant thats linked in the NPS Extension for Azure MFA to work. I dont think its possible to setup more than one tenant in one NPS server (Extension for azure MFA). I get this error in the NPS log NPS Extension for Azure MFA: CID:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx : Access Rejected for user email address removed for privacy reasons with Azure MFA response: AccessDenied and message: Caller tenant:'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' does not have access permissions to do authentication for the user in tenant:'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',,,xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The ID in the Caller tenant and the user tenant in the error is correct, so something have to work? I cat find a way to allow the Caller tenant to access users in the user tenant.Looking for a way to set up mail moderation using Entra dynamic group
Our organization is working on shifting from a hybrid AD-Entra environment to Entra only. We currently use mail-moderated dynamic distribution lists using Extension Attributes to set the rules for mass internal company emails. In conjunction with us migrating to Entra only, we are also planning to use an API integration to manage our Entra account creation and updates. This integration does not have the ability to populate the Extension Attribute fields. Because of these changes we will no longer be able to use the existing dynamic distribution lists we have, and we have not had luck finding a solution for it yet. Has anyone else gone through this or have any experience solving for this same problem?Request to enable preview feature - Face Check with CAP

Global Secure Access - Conditional Access Require GSA - Android Blocked
Hello all, I am currently working on deploying Global Secure Access client with Microsoft Forward Traffic profile and a conditional access policy to block access to M365 services unless connected through the GSA client. I have this working as I want it for Windows and mobile devices in a tenant we use for development. However, when I set this up at our live tenant, I cannot get the Android device to work. My setup is a Personally Owned Work Profile with the Defender app deployed and configured to enable GSA. I can connect to Global Secure Access and it does show some traffic tunneling to Microsoft. However, when I go to login to another app like Outlook, it blocks the sign-in. This is not the case for an iPhone I have personally enrolled and my Entra Joined laptop. Upon investigation of any differences between our development tenant (working fully) and our tenant (Android not working) I found that in the GSA section under Services, there is an extra service called “Microsoft Entra Channel Access”. This service does not show up when I am logged in our developer tenant. Even on the same phone by removing work profiles and signing in to both tenants, our live tenant shows the new channel, and the developer tenant does not have it. I did some log review with the advanced diagnostics feature and the app and noted a few things I am lead to believe that the issue is with this new Entra Channel that has been deployed to our live tenant and not to our dev tenant yet. When I go to sign-in to the Outlook application in the work profile for the developer tenant, I can see the authentication traffic being tunneled through the Microsoft 365 profile. (login.live.com, login.microsoftonline.com, and aadcdn.msftauth.net). However, in our production tenant when doing the same test I do not see those destinations being tunneled at all. I do see the traffic being collected in the “Hostname” section, but is not being tunneled. Another interesting point with this is that on an iPhone I am testing; I do see the authentication destinations being tunneled through the Entra Channel. Here are the screenshots of my findings. https://imgur.com/a/82r3HQC I have an open Microsoft support case and hoping to get the attention of a Microsoft employee or MVP who may be able to get this in front of the Entra product team to see if this is a bug.
Block all 365 apps except Outlook via CA
Trying to block 365 for a subset of users, except email. The old app-based CA rules made this easy. The new 'resource' based setup... I'm not even sure if it's possible. CoPilot just keeps telling me to use the old version of CA, because it hasn't clued into Microsoft's downgrade cycle. If I try to filter by resource attribute, I'm told I don't have permission to do so. I'm the global admin. Here's what searching for Outlook gives me and Exchange Advice? We ARE intune licensed, but i'm not sure App Protection Policies will help here. The intention is to block BYOD from accessing anything but Outlook / Exchange. That is, Mobile devices that aren't (whatever param I decide on)
