91
+ - question : |
92
+ How to mitigate the error "SharedTokenCacheCredential authentication unavailable"?
93
+ answer: |
94
+ If you are getting this error when using an Azure PowerShell cmdlet that creates or
95
+ makes change to Azure resources, it is likely that you are blocked by the Entra ID
96
+ Conditional Access policy.
97
+
98
+ The complete error message is as follows:
99
+
100
+ ```
101
+ SharedTokenCacheCredential authentication unavailable. Token acquisition failed for user
102
+ [email protected] . Ensure that you have authenticated with a developer tool that supports
103
+ Azure single sign on.
104
+ ```
105
+
106
+ To resolve this issue, please update to version 14.X.Y or later of the Azure PowerShell module,
107
+ or equivalently, version 5.X.Y of the Az.Accounts module.
108
+ With these versions, the Azure PowerShell cmdlets will be able to display detailed error messages
109
+ regarding which policy is blocking the authentication, and how to resolve the issue.
110
+
111
+ For example, if the admin has configured the policy to require multi-factor authentication (MFA),
112
+ you will see an error message similar to the following:
113
+
114
+ ```powershell
115
+ {Placeholder for error message}
116
+ ```
117
+
118
+ Follow the instructions in the error message to sign in through multi-factor authentication (MFA).
You can’t perform that action at this time.
