Graph login error

Question

My script below worked until 2 week ago, after PS Graph module update the script doesn't work only in ADAXES, in powershell and in adaxes powershell works. Can you help me?

# Define the Application (Client) ID and Secret
$ApplicationClientId = 'XXXXX' # Application (Client) ID
$ApplicationClientSecret = 'XXXXX' # Application Secret Value
$TenantId = 'XXXXX' # Tenant ID

# Convert the Client Secret to a Secure String
$SecureClientSecret = ConvertTo-SecureString -String $ApplicationClientSecret -AsPlainText -Force

# Create a PSCredential Object Using the Client ID and Secure Client Secret
$ClientSecretCredential = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $ApplicationClientId, $SecureClientSecret
# Connect to Microsoft Graph Using the Tenant ID and Client Secret Credential
Connect-MgGraph -TenantId $TenantId -ClientSecretCredential $ClientSecretCredential

Hello Simone,

What exactly do you mean by doesn't work only in ADAXES? Do you face any errors/warnings? If you do, please, provide screenshots. You can post them here or send to us at support@adaxes.com.

Also, please, clarify what exactly you mean by in adaxes powershell works.

Sorry, I missed to add the error.

ClientCertificateCredential authentication failed: Could not load type 'Microsoft.Identity.Client.BaseAbstractApplicationBuilder`1' from assembly 'Microsoft.Identity.Client, Version=4.48.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0a613f4dd989e8ae'. Stack trace: at <ScriptBlock>, <No file>: line 5

Adaxes powershell, I mean C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noexit -command import-module Adaxes

Hello Simone,

Thank you for clarifying. It looks like Adaxes fails to load something from the new module and thus fails to execute the cmdlet. The error is not related to Adaxes itself and seems to be about the permissions of the Adaxes service account executing the script. It can happen that during the module update you installed it in some way that the Adaxes service account cannot access some resources. Unfortunately, we cannot be more specific as the error is not actually about Adaxes.

The fact the you see the script working with Adaxes PowerShell module imported does not make it related to Adaxes in any way. It just a module you import in a script. The same way you can import any other module and the behavior will remain the same.

Thanks, I updated the module Microsoft.Identity.Client, now the script works.
