I am trying to create a webservice to access Sharepoint. FME has been registered in Azure but when I try to set up the connection the conditional access policy blocks my connection.

It looks like it has something to do with the way the http user client provides info to Azure. With the FME default http user agent you just get a blocking error, with the system default http user agent you get this:

 

It looks like the http User agent does not provide the device ID (apparaat-id): Not available (niet beschikbaar). The conditional access policy demands a registrered device so it blocks this connection.

I can make a Azure connection directly from Chrome or Edge in other apps. what is the way to a solution for this problem?

Hi ​@b.hollebeek 

I'm sorry that no one has responded to your question yet! 
We are aware of this limitation, and we have filed an internal service issue (internal reference IDEA-1485) to explore how we can better accommodate this specific Conditional Access Policy.

Just seeing if there was any update on this - as a bit of googling suggests I may be in the same boat here

Please provide a solution so Azure connections work without digging in the CA Policies. It's really a pain to debug this sort of error messages.

Hello ​@fdw,

I appreciate your patience and understand your concern.

Would you be able to test out the new external browser released as part of 25.2 to see if this resolves your issue?

For reference, in the feature highlights post: FME 2025.2 - Feature Highlights | Community

Thanks!
