401 Unauthorized when Granting access via Azure AD App-Only

I followed this article but I modified the sample code a bit to use GetContextAsync instead of GetAzureADAppOnlyAuthenticatedContext

AuthenticationManager authManager = new AuthenticationManager(clientId, certPath,certPassword,tenantId);
using (ClientContext cc = await authManager.GetContextAsync(_siteUrl))
{
    cc.Load(cc.Web, p => p.Title);
    await cc.ExecuteQueryAsync();
    Console.WriteLine(cc.Web.Title);
}

The error is thrown at await cc.ExecuteQueryAsync(); I have uploaded the self-signed certificate onto Azure portal cert

and granted the permission granted

My app is a Winforms app using .NET framework 4.7 PnP.Framework 1.11

P/s: What do I enter for the tenantId param? At the moment I'm using the Directory (tenant) ID from the Overview page tenant

    Hi @Jack Le

    In your case, tenantId should be like xxx.onmicrosoft.com

    The code should be like following

    AuthenticationManager authManager = new AuthenticationManager(clientId, certPath,certPassword,"xxx.onmicrosoft.com");

    If you entered the tenant ID in overview page, the code will return 401 Unauthorized too
