401 error while authenticating Registered Apps with MSIdentityPlatform

Question

I've been getting 401 error when trying to authenticate my registered application in Azure AD from azuredevops pipeline using terraform. I've used the same ClienID/Secret key which I've generated a few seconds ago.

Could anyone able to help here? Error message.
Error: getting authenticated object ID: Error listing Service Principals: autorest.DetailedError{Original:adal.tokenRefreshError{message:"adal: Refresh request failed. Status Code = '401'.

I'm using terraform v0.13 and ad version is v1.6.0, azuredevops version is v0.1.6

Hello @Naga Suresh Kumar Chinni ,

Thanks for reaching out.

From the error message it shows as "Invalid client secret is provided". Could you please make sure you are using right secret value by comparing with first few shown value also verify expiry date of secret that you are using from Azure AD app registration blade? or try creating new client secret and see if that works.

Additionally, I would recommend you to verify if you are using recent update of terraform Azure providers to avoid some know issues.

Hope this helps.
