Connect-MicrosoftTeams interactive login

Hello PhoneMe007,

Thanks for your post here.

According to your description, may I understand that you'd like to run the command like the following screenshot?

If not, please feel free to correct me. If so, please make sure you only run this command as I type in my screenshot and don't include other commands like Import-Module MicrosoftTeams $credential = Get-Credential

Based on my test, if we have installed the Teams PowerShell module, we can run the command Connect-MicrosoftTeams and sign in with our account in the pop-up page.

If you need more help or I misunderstand your meaning, please kindly share some screenshots when you run the command with me and I will continue to help you.

Regards,

Seven

Hi Seven, the login and MFA is not a problem with the old Skype Online connector. The app opens a specific login url in a popup, the user signs in and does MFA, and Microsoft returns a token. This token is then used with the old connector to open a session. (Doesn't matter what MFA they have) and we can use this to run the Powershell commands.

With the new connector, the app gets apopup automatically if the app doesn't provide any parameters with the Connect-MicrosoftTeams command, but we can't have our azure app somehow "transfer" or make this popup available to the end user. The powershell commands would be run in AWS Lambda, which the end user does not have direct access to. There's also no concept of pop-ups or browsers, or "windows" in lambda.

But this could be solved via the interactive login https://microsoft.com/devicelogin where we could ask them for the code as in:

They could then enter the code and allow the Powershell commands to progress.

This seems to work for some, as in the article above, but not for us...

Hi PhoneMe007,

Thanks for your quick reply.

I understand that you'd like to sign in using the browser-based authentication. The image you post is what you want. However, may I know the current situation after you run the command? 

Any screenshots would be highly appreciated. Thanks for your cooperation and understanding.

Regards,

Seven

To add, haven't had any luck getting the interactive code using either 7.0.5, 7.1.2 or 7.20-preview.

Hi Seven

Others are experiencing the following, which I'd like to use, as accounts with MFA enabled can't be programmatically used.

Which provides MFA code via the web browser.

When running Connect-MicrosoftTeams in PowerShell 7, PowerShell opts for browser-based authentication instead and displays a code to use for authentication.

You navigate to https://microsoft.com/devicelogin and enter the code to authenticate. With the code entered, enter a username and password or select an existing account to log in. Once successfully authenticated, close the browser window and return to the PowerShell console.
