Authentication required twice on MacOS

[plmcgrn]

Describe the bug

I'm trying to use the module on MacOS. When I run Connect-MGGraph, it pops a browser window for auth, which is successful. Then, when I run my first function, like Get-MGGroup, it pops a browser window a second time, and authenticates again. Subsequent functions don't trigger additional auth, but it seems unexpected that Connect-MGGraph would not handle auth fully.

I am assuming this is due to the initial Connect-MGGraph function not getting my full list of assigned OAuth scopes, thus triggering a re-auth on the next command, which does fetch them as expected.

Connect-MGGraph gets User.Read, and then when I run Get-MGGroup, that second auth gets all my assigned scopes (large list, includes all related and unrelated scopes to Get-MGGroup)

This is relatively recent behavior for me, either way. Company policy prevents use of beta versions in production without a bunch of approval hurdles.

Expected behavior

Connect-MGGraph authenticates fully and completely, deriving scopes assigned to the user.

How to reproduce

1. Connect-MGGraph
2. Browser window pops, authenticate normally
3. $groups = Get-MGGroup -Filter "startswith(displayname, 'some_prefix')"
4. Browser window pops, again, authenticate normally
5. Subsequent function calls do not pop a browser window.

SDK Version

2.29.0

Latest version known to work for scenario above?

I haven't downgraded to a previous version to determine which one broke this auth flow.

Known Workarounds

None that I'm aware of

I'm experiencing this same issue in Windows 11, version 24H2 as well using PowerShell v5.

Getting this on W11

Downgraded to 2.23.0 and seems to resolve the issue

@timayabi2020 @MIchaelMainer @ramsessanchez Please take a look at this, this has been going on for a while.

[MIchaelMainer]

Sorry folks for not getting back to you... fewer hands, the same work.

@plmcgrn @nkasco @uta-sheppardpj @md7648 - I'm able to repro with 2.29. When I turn on Fiddler, the 1st prompt looks like it is associated with MFA. No access token is returned, a flowtoken (new to me) is returned. That second prompt is when your scopes are sent.

Does the experience that requires two login pop-ups trigger after every hour?
What is the time between when you first have the second auth pop-up to when you see the subsequent pop-up?

I don't see any auth related changes in the source. I am going to lookup whether there was a MFA policy change on the app.

Has anyone tried using their own clientId with 2.29+ to see if this behavior occurs there?

I have repro'd that using 2.23 works as expected (no MFA).
