This could be happening if the request state is older than 5 minutes or the request state is invalid.

  • State is older than 00:05:00 (5 minutes)

  • Requested state is wrong/reused

State is older than 00:05:00 (5 minutes)

If you navigate to the workspace with oAuth2 configured, you will be redirected to the Authority. This will be either Microsoft Entra ID (previously called Azure AD or, if it's a federated domain, the ADFS. The oAuth2 protocol demands a request state from the application (Workspace 365). In this case, the request state is the exact time of the redirect to the Authority. When you are redirected and you're not completing the sign-in process within these 5 minutes, the request state is older than 00:05:00 (5 minutes). This happens occasionally when you have set the workspace as start page and the user is not signing in within this time frame.

Requested state is wrong/reused

If you navigate to your workspace URL e.g. https://stable.workspace365.me/w365support you will find out that you are redirected to the sign in page of your Authority. In this case, the SSO application created in Microsoft Entra ID.

  2. Click 'Retry'.
