Hello,
I'm trying to use the powerapps administration module (https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell/2.0.72) inside an Azure Runbook.
However when I try to authenticate using:
> $pass = ConvertTo-SecureString "password" -AsPlainText -Force
> Add-PowerAppsAccount -Username foo@zamir1 .com -Password $pass
I get the following error:
Add-PowerAppsAccount : Method invocation failed because
[Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.AuthenticationContext] does not contain a method named 'AcquireToken'.
At line:115 char:1
The module is available from the Modules Gallery so I would assume it works.
I have tried the same from my machine and it works without issues so it seems the issue is azure automation.
From searching in google I found some people referring to iphlpapi.dll being outdated on azure automation.
How can I authenticate so I can use the module? Is there any alternative?
Thanks in advance.
I have received the information from Azure Support that authentication using AAD inside Azure Runbooks is not supported.
The only options are:
Using an Hybrid worker;
Using Azure Functions;

Hello rodjorge , can you confirm the PowerApps module has been imported to your Azure automation account?
You have a few options to import the module - assuming this has not been done.
Hello @olufemia-MSFT
yes, I have imported both powerapps modules.
The issue is when I use Add-PowerAppsAccount inside the runbook, outside on my pc it works correctly.
I have seen in this page that some users have issues authenticating to AAD from azure runbooks, could it be the same issue?

thanks for the update, rodjorge. Give me some time to review the stackoverflow reference and also investigate on my end.
Let me know if this is an urgent break-fix issue and we can connect you to our technical support channel for a more rapid response.
Cheers.
It's a new implementation so nothing is impacted. I appreciate your help.
Hello @olufemia-MSFT . Do you have any new information? Do you think I should open a MSFT ticket as well?
sorry for the delay, rodjorge. was researching a few options for you to try.
based on the exception, looks like we may be able to resolve this with one of these:
I can work with you to re-route to Azure support if the above doesn't work. Do you have a support plan associated to your Azure subscription?
I have tried with a service principal and it fails with the same error:
Add-PowerAppsAccount -TenantID $tenantID -ApplicationId $applicationID -ClientSecret $applicationSecret
Failed
Method invocation failed because [Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.AuthenticationContext] does not contain a method named 'AcquireToken'.
This module only works with powershell 5.1 so using functions is not an option.
We have an enterprise support plan and I opened a ticket.
Sounds good, @rodjorge - please send mail to Azcommunity@microsoft.com with your service request ID so I can track your service request from my end.
