Hi, I've followed the instructions here for configuring SSO with my chatbot: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-virtual-agents/configure-sso
What I am finding is that the first time a new user comes to the chatbot, they have to go through a process of loading a new tab which creates a validation code, and copying/pasting it back into the chat window (see attached screenshots). Only then are they logged. Any subsequent visit to the chatbot will use the SSO login, without the need for this validation code.
I really want to remove this extra validation code step to make using the chatbot much more seemless for new users, but I can't see how. Does anyone know if this is possible?
I am having the same problem. Did you ever find a resolution to this?
thanks
Despite following the article I dont think SSO was configured properly. I used the code in the GitHub below which is suggested at the bottom of the article and it worked. Looking at the github code it adds quite a bit that isn't in the original help article which isn't very helpful.. Hope it helps if your still stuck.

Scratch that.. still have problems.. seems to be working for me (no validation prompt) but not others.. back to drawing board.
Afraid not - it's been sidelined as a priority for us for the time being. If you make any progress please do share. Thanks!
Any progress with this issue?
Can you be specific about the issue? While SSO isn't supported for SharePoint, it is for custom websites: Configure single sign-on with Azure Active Directory - Power Virtual Agents | Microsoft Learn
I'll try. The problem is the same as the beginning of this post. The link that you hvae provided is used. (I am using the new unified canvas version). The validation code step is the same. I want to skip/disable this step. Is that possible?
@Krutt if you want to remove the validation code step, are you saying you're looking for native single-sign on (SSO, i.e. no authentication step or window for the user) in the Microsoft Teams channel?
SSO isn't supported today for Microsoft Teams, but if you want this, that's a feature request, and I'd love if you could share the details here: https://aka.ms/PVAFeatureRequest
Or are you looking to remove authentication completely?
The bot is not published in Teams. We are publishing the bot on an external website inside the organization where the user is already logged in on a company computer. The website use SSO to verifiy the user. So i would like to skip or disable the sted with the verification code. Hope this made sense
Thanks - if the user is already logged in using AAD on the website, then this should already be supported: Configure single sign-on with Azure Active Directory - Power Virtual Agents | Microsoft Learn
