Output status code: 204

Hi @curiousbwoy, Could you check for the required rolls and permission for your account which mentioned into the below readme file:

Thanks!

Hi @v-sudkharat , yes all the roles are assigned to the managed identity of the logic app
we are testing this logic app against normal users who are on-premise synced with password administrator role assigned to Managed identity of logic app

we performed it for 2 users

user 1 - Azure AD user not synced to on-prem AD:- Logic app runs successfully temporary password is assigned and once this temporary password is utilized by user it asks for user to create new password due to "forceChangePasswordNextSignIn: true"

user2 - Azure AD user synced to on-prem AD:- logic app runs successfully as shown in above image but the password is not accepted when user tries to signin it says incorrect password

Authorize Office 365 Outlook connection - is authorization done via API connection or should there be dedicated area to authorize?

@curiousbwoy how did it go? Similar use case but its delayed i suspect while MDI remediation is immediate.

@piExpr please can you highlight which connection needs to be authorized
the issue we are facing is the temporary password generated by logic app is not getting synced to on-prem AD
though we have Password writeback feature enabled

Hi @curiousbwoy,

Currently the api is looking for the users in the Entra ID for the Azure cloud and as which users are available those are able to update the password. But when the call is made to api for the users in on prem those users are not found in the directory which results in 204 (not found) user.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/onpremisesextensionattributes?view=graph-rest-1.0
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/user?view=graph-rest-1.0

please check for the above documents and see if on-premises Active Directory that is synchronized to Microsoft Entra ID.

Thanks...!!

Hi @v-shukore,

I have tried to execute the api shared and used my account to search for the attributes, but the result returned is null
I have tried using both beta as well as graph api v1.0

[v-shukore]

@curiousbwoy, Thanks for your response. Will check on this issue and will get back to you. Thanks!

[v-shukore]

Hi @curiousbwoy, As I can see that we are receiving a 200 OK status, but it is not able to find attributes in the directory. Please check if you have them at the source. Thanks!

[curiousbwoy]

Hi @v-shukore, Thank you for the update, I have tried it on the logic app for my email address and well as other users and I was able to fetch the details

please can you guide how will I able to reset the password as the issue still persists

[curiousbwoy]

further summarizing the temporary password generated by logic app is accepted at initial login and MFA is also accepted

However, due to flag "forceChangePasswordNextSignIn": true
I am prompted to update the password and change it before been authorized further

here ideally the current password should be the one generated by logic app, however, it is not updated to onpremise and it gives the error stating this is not your current password

Hi @curiousbwoy, we are still investigating this issue with team, will get back to you once done. Thanks...!!
