Azure App Proxy - Unable to add internal URL

Question

Hi,

I created an application in EntraID and configured app proxy details like Internal URL, connector group and then I deleted the app, later I restored the app and I see the Internal URL is missing from app proxy details in Enterprise application. When I am trying to add its giving me error "Internal url entered is already being used by another application". I've exported all the applications and check this url is not where mentioned in any application.

When I created the app and added the Internal URL it let me add but after restore it's throwing me error.

I think when I deleted the app it somewhere went to stale state in backend and now not letting me to add the internal URL again, how to fix this?

Tried in different browser and private window.

Completely deleted old application and created a new app and tried still same issue.

Been already 24hrs still same issue.

We only have one internal url for the app and we have to use the same URL.

Hi @Manoj Tamarana , sorry for the delay in response.

Deleted applications sometimes take a while to fully purge from the system. Check the Entra ID Recycle Bin to see if the deleted application is still there. If the application is still listed there, you can either wait for it to be fully purged (which might take some time) or try to restore it and then properly delete it again.

If the application is not in the Recycle Bin, there might be stale entries in the backend. Sometimes, running a PowerShell script to clear these entries can help.

Connect-MgGraph -Scopes 'Application.ReadWrite.All'
Get-MgServicePrincipal  | Select-Object DisplayName, AppId
Remove-MgServicePrincipal -ObjectId <ObjectId>

Please let me know if you have any questions and I can help you further.
