@ayblanchet can you try awaiting the call using this syntax

microsoftTeams.authentication.getAuthToken({"silent": true}).then((token) => { console.log("myToken: " + token) });?

Also, what Teams clients are you using and how are you running your app in Teams? Is this a meetings or channels app? Kindly provide these to help use investigate. Thanks

@nwojod-MSFT same error when using your syntax: authentication.ts:232 Uncaught (in promise) Error: Definition not found I'm use Teams Desktop Microsoft Teams 1.6.00.6588 (32 bits) same behaviour with Teams online. I'm using this for a connector in channels. Thank you for your help,

Hi @ayblanchet, thanks for the info you provided! I'm sorry you're running into this issue. I'd like to get a bit more understanding of how your app is invoked before the call to microsoftTeams.authentication.getAuthToken is made and fails.

Are you invoking the getAuthToken API call in the connector configuration page (as described here: Create connectors for Microsoft 365 Groups - Teams | Microsoft Learn) or are you invoking it after launching your app by clicking an action button on the connector-generated adaptive card present in your channel (for example, clicking "View Task Details" button as shown in #15 in the "Build Teams connectors" tutorial step 5: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/sbs-teams-connectors?tutorial-step=5)?

If neither applies, can you please share more information about how your app running teams-js is invoked?

Hi Erinha,

Yes, I followed these 2 tutorials. To deploy, I have try to use "upload a custom app" with teams, and deploy an app with portal admin teams website. $(document).ready(async function () { microsoftTeams.app.initialize().then(()=>{ microsoftTeams.authentication.getAuthToken({"silent": true}).then((token) => { console.log("myToken: " + token) }); }); });

Best regards,

Apologies for the delay in response. We checked this with following sample -https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples/tree/main/samples/connector-todo-notification/nodejs.

It is giving Error: Definition not found at getAuthToken. We will check this internally and get back to you. Thank you for your patience.

@ayblanchet - We checked internally and got the below response,

The SSO flow (i.e. getAuthToken API) for Connectors is not supported. This flow is only supported for bots and tabs. As per our Connector documentation here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/webhooks-and-connectors/how-to/connectors-creating

The only supported mechanism for authentication in Connectors is the popup auth flow documented here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/tabs/how-to/authentication/auth-flow-tab

That is also what our Connector samples demonstrate.
