As of 10-09-2024 we receive this error AADSTS700016 for EVERY tenant when trying to use connect-pnponline

The complete error message (after logging in) is:

AADSTS700016: Application with identifier '31359c7f-bd7e-475c-86db-fdb8c937548e' was not found in the directory 'Contoso'. This can happen if the application has not been installed by the administrator of the tenant or consented to by any user in the tenant. You may have sent your authentication request to the wrong tenant.

Where 31359c7f-bd7e-475c-86db-fdb8c937548e is the application ID of the (already) registered 'PnP Management Shell' application

I can not find any working solution(s).

Hi Pieter
Do you have this Azure error for the PnP Management Shell as well or for another application?

Thanks
31359c7f-bd7e-475c-86db-fdb8c937548e is the application ID of the PnP Management Shell app
I looks like it occurs on all tenants
I really need PnP for daily use for support on M365 tenants
So question is where can we address this issue?

Same issue. Logging manually gives you this nice hint:

WARNING:

As of September 9th, 2024 the option to use the PnP Management Shell app registration for authentication is not available anymore. Refer to https://pnp.github.

io/powershell/articles/registerapplication.html on how to register your own application.

Thanks Sigitas!,
what do you mean with log locally (how)?

The github link does not work do you have the full url on https://github.com/pnp ?

Login manually - simply start Connect-PnpOnline from powershell and login to site you have access. Will get the hint above.

https://pnp.github.io/powershell/articles/registerapplication.html
Register Azure App (or use existing one). It will need sharepoint API permission AllSites.Read

I thought you meant logging not log in :)
I tried following on cdx demo tenant and works!
Github mentions Register-PnPEntraIDAppForInteractiveLogin, changed this with Register-PnPAzureADApp

Register new app:
Register-PnPAzureADApp -ApplicationName "PnP App" -Tenant M365x37801169.onmicrosoft.com -Interactive
after registration you need to give consent to the permissions given.
(Change ClientID en tenant(ID) to your own)

New login method parameters: Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://M365x37801169-admin.sharepoint.com -CertificatePath '.\PnP App.pfx' -ClientId 8f1bc1c0-2fa8-4ffa-90b1-e08d638c2bdd -Tenant fc93004f-fd09-4a27-a0ce-fee0a314526d

Hi @Swapnil Nirhali ,

AADSTS700016 is an error code that indicates that the application you are trying to sign in to is not registered in Azure AD. To fix this issue, you need to register the application in Azure AD.

Here are the steps to register an application in Azure AD:

Open the Azure portal and sign in as a global administrator or co-admin.

Select All services at the top of the navigation pane on the left side to open the Azure AD extension.

Type Azure Active Directory in the filter search box, and then select Azure Active Directory.

Select App registrations in the Azure AD navigation pane.

Select New registration to register a new application.

Enter a name for the application and select the supported account types.

Select Register to create the application.

I would also suggest looking at this thread's solution in case it applies to your case. Please let me know if you have any questions and I can help you further.

If this answer helped you please mark it as "Verified" so other users can reference it.

Thank you,

James
