Flows failing randomly: BadGateway. AADSTS50078: Presented multi-factor authentication has expired

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 6

Hello!

In August 25th, 10am CST aprox, and during the next 24 hours, all my flows that attempt to run failed.

When looking at them, this was part of the error message:

   "message""BadGateway",
    "innerError": {
      "error": {
        "code"null,
        "message""AADSTS50078: Presented multi-factor authentication has expired due to policies configured by your administrator, you must refresh your multi-factor authentication to access

I review the flow, refreshed my credentials in the flow, and apparently went well, but the following days even today (Sept 16), some of the flow keep sometime failing and sometime running fine.

 

Any help here is welcomed!

    You need to re authenticate your connection and my advise to you is to authenticate using a service account that is excluded from the Multifactor authentication policy.

    Thanks for the quick reply!

    I did re authenticate and when doing it, the portal did not asked me for the Multifactor authentication policy. Probably I do not have the rights (or way) to avoid that, not sure if IT will be willing to do. Besides, what I still do not understand is why all of a sudden, after months of flows working properly, they just stop functioning for a day, and now some of them fail randomly.

    @Chargoy 

    Have you tried adding new connection?

    @Mira_GhalyYes, for some flows I have done 4 times. The problem still appears, as it sometimes fails.
