"The identity provider is unavailable" - EPM-M

I have both my app registration (Microsoft EntraID) and IdP settings setup according to KB0019022; however, on the mac, whenever I try to authenticate via MFA from a message, I receive the error “The identity provider is unavailable” and it fails. The same app registration works fine for Windows. I have the Mac re-direct and verified the OIDC url is reachable. Anyone else run across this?

Hey ​@KD8AVA, since this issue is only on macOS, I’d first look to confirm whether your macOS redirect URI is configured correctly. macOS does not use the same Windows redirect (http://127.0.0.1), it requires the custom scheme URI: com.beyondtrust.pmfm://idp

What to check/confirm:

  • In your Entra app registration: confirm com.beyondtrust.pmfm://idp is present
  • Next, check inside your EPM-M policy - you’ll want to make sure that it also matches the correct macOS redirect URI as well

If your configuration looks correct and you’re still seeing issues, I’d recommend collecting a PGCC and opening a case with our support team for a deeper investigation.

Thank you!
