How can I fix MS Cloud Services TA Auth error?

We migrated the MSCS TA to a new HF and are receiving authentication errors even though we're using the same client id, secret, and tenant id. I'm thinking its likely something network related and the auth error is misleading. I'm trying to find out exactly what URL(s) I need to whitelist - I cant find anything in the docs.

Here is the error: "REST Error [400]: Bad Request -- Account authentication failed. Please check your credentials and try again".

Like I said, I am using the same credentials, just a different host.

Thanks.

I had the same issue setting up an Azure App Account. Turns out it was due to having

mgmtHostPort = 0.0.0.0:8089

vs the default of

mgmtHostPort = 127.0.0.1:8089

in web.conf/[settings].

How did you migrate? If it was a file copy rather than a new installation, your client secret may not decrypt correctly if your splunk.secret file is not the same.

Its not a file copy. Its a new install of the TA on a different host. I didnt copy any of the files, just recreating the configs and inputs on the new host using the same credentials and authentication details.
