Login with Microsoft office 365 Account in Asp.net is getting error

Question

I am successfully integrated the Microsoft Account login with Asp.net Application and working fine with the office 365 email Ids, but I am getting below error while login with Email id which is Secured by Duo Two-Factor Authentication.

"The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.,"

when I tried on postman the error is

"AADSTS50158: External security challenge not satisfied. User will be redirected to another page or authentication provider to satisfy additional authentication challenges"

but when I am going to direct login from browser after inserting the credentials of Microsoft account it redirects to Duo page for Duo push which is fine.

but when I am trying to login with my Asp.net application after inserting Microsoft Credentials it is not redirecting to Duo Push and throwing error "The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.,"

The code is below to call API

Login errors when integrating with Microsoft Office 365 in an ASP.NET application can occur for a variety of reasons. To help you troubleshoot and resolve the issue, here are some common steps and considerations: Check Application Registration : Ensure that you have registered your application in the Azure Active Directory associated with your Office 365 account. You will need the Application ID (Client ID) and a Client Secret (or a certificate) for authentication. App Permissions : Make sure your application has the necessary permissions in Azure AD for the Office 365 resources you are trying to access (e.g., Microsoft Graph API, Outlook, OneDrive, etc.). Redirect URIs : Check that the Redirect URI (the callback URL) specified in your Azure AD app registration matches the URL in your ASP.NET application. Error Details : Examine the error message you are receiving. Microsoft's OAuth error messages can provide specific information about what's wrong. Token Expiration : Tokens have an expiration time. Make sure you are handling token refresh properly. If a token has expired, you'll need to acquire a new one. Code Configuration : Double-check your code to ensure you are making the correct authentication and authorization requests. API Endpoint URLs : Ensure that you are using the correct API endpoint URLs, scopes, and resource URIs for the Office 365 services you are trying to access. Logging : Implement detailed logging in your ASP.NET application to capture any errors or exceptions during the authentication process. Firewall and Network Issues : Verify that your server and network configurations are not blocking outgoing requests to Microsoft's servers, and that the server running your ASP.NET application can reach the necessary endpoints. Library and SDK Versions : Ensure that you are using the latest versions of the Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL) or Azure Active Directory Authentication Library (ADAL) for .NET. Consent and User Permissions : Make sure that users are granting the required permissions during the authentication process. Token and Session Management : Properly manage tokens and user sessions to avoid conflicts. If you can provide more specific information about the error message or the code you are using, I can offer more targeted guidance. Additionally, consulting Microsoft's official documentation and developer resources can be helpful in resolving integration issues with Office 365 in ASP.NET applications.

Thanks Bhavesh for your reply. The Error Message is "AADSTS50158: External security challenge not satisfied. User will be redirected to another page or authentication provider to satisfy additional authentication challenges" Points to be noted that when I am login with Office 365 Email ID which is not secured with DUO authentication then it is working fine, Problem is with the Office 365 Email ID which is secured with DUO authentication I am facing this Error Message. Also when I am login that email Id from Browser then it is working fine i.e. after successfull Microsoft login it is redirecting to DUO account which is fine. I am using below code var url = REQUEST_URL; var content = String.Format("client_id={0}&code={1}&grant_type=authorization_code&redirect_uri={2}" + "&scope={3}&client_secret={4}", CLIENT_ID, code, CALLBACK_URL, scope, HttpUtility.UrlEncode(CLIENT_SECRET)); WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(url); request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"; byte[] data = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(content); request.ContentLength = data.Length; request.Method = "POST"; try { using (Stream stream = request.GetRequestStream()) { stream.Write(data, 0, data.Length); } WebResponse response = request.GetResponse(); // This throws exception string tokenResponse = ""; using (var respStream = response.GetResponseStream()) { using (var reader = new StreamReader(respStream)) { tokenResponse = reader.ReadToEnd(); } }
