Thank you for opening this issue, we will look into it.

Could you please share the URL that was opened in the browser?

[rtgeha]

The URL was similar to "https://login.microsoftonline.com/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx/oauth2/v2.0/authorize".

I have replaced the part of the URL that is the the OrganizationID of my EntraID tenant

[jiasli]

Please kindly share the full URL with the query parameter. There is no sensitive information in it. You only need to redact the tenant ID if you want.

It should look like https://login.microsoftonline.com/organizations/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?client_id=04b07795-8ddb-461a-bbee-02f9e1bf7b46&response_type=code&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A45769&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fmanagement.core.windows.net%2F%2F.default+offline_access+openid+profile&state=HcETyWBovKIzUwDF&code_challenge=102IM0ww-Z981klrvhDZ_Be8VuqyykccxQY7GFtSKgg&code_challenge_method=S256&nonce=d18aed471850b825c8671081dfa1c5092a8417667cea84887eb1c4bbf663f056&client_info=1&claims=%7B%22access_token%22%3A+%7B%22xms_cc%22%3A+%7B%22values%22%3A+%5B%22CP1%22%5D%7D%7D%7D&prompt=select_account

Does the URL contain a client_id=04b07795-8ddb-461a-bbee-02f9e1bf7b46 query parameter? The URL should should look like https://login.microsoftonline.com/organizations/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?client_id=04b07795-8ddb-461a-bbee-02f9e1bf7b46&...

The browser will be automatically opened. You shouldn't click on the URL in the warning message:

Otherwise, the browser will show AADSTS900144 error:

Also, which version of Ubuntu are you using? Are you using WSL?

[rtgeha]

I am using Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS on WSL.

Since the browser is not successfully opened by az login, it would be great if the URL in the warning message would still work as in previous versions of the Azure CLI. You also need to consider use cases where people just use SSH to connect to a server or systems where no desktop system is installed
