create user for external provider error

Question

Hi

When tried to create scem-d-awp-tev-001 user from external provider on the database

we are receiving

Msg 33131, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Principal 'scem-d-awp-tev-001' has a duplicate display name. Make the display name unique in Azure Active Directory and execute this statement again.

Webapp name:scem-d-awp-tev-001
Identity name: scem-d-awp-tev-001

Answer 1

Hey @Hector ,
In Azure AD, you can create service principals with same name but different application Ids.
So please search in AAD, by that name and confirm whether there are 2 Apps with the same name.

You would have to delete one of the App and recreate it with new name.

In case if you cannot delete the sp , create a cloud group in AAD and add the needed sp in that dl and create user of that DL in database.

Answer 2

Hi , Thank you for you response,

In this case yes, we have 2 SP with the same name, a webapp scem-d-awp-tev-001 and after we enable identity option for the web app a new SP was created with the same name and different id. In this case can we change the identity name ?
