Description

We were using msal 1.1.2 version initially in my application but as we migrated to angular14 we migrated msal v1 to msal v2. I can see previously msal was saving msal.idtoken, authority in session storage but in v2 it is not saved msal.idtoken in session storage.
So I explicitly saving token in session so I can read it in interceptor and send in header for http calls. We are calling acquireTokenSilent() after 50 mins ,10 mins before token gets expired. I am getting error "InteractionRequiredAuthError: invalid_grant: AADSTS65001: The user or administrator has not consented to use the application with ID " When we were using msal v1 idtoken was getting saved in session as per screenshot2.

Does it work after redirecting to AAD and providing consent?

Generally speaking, when you receive an interaction_required error it means the server requires some more information from the user to issue the tokens. To resolve you either need to let the user provide the required information (by redirecting) or change what you're asking for (reduced permissions the user has already granted consent for)

As an aside - v1 and v2 use different underlying auth flows, it's not going to be a 1:1 upgrade

[renu10-dot]

For the first time when login() is called it is redirected to AAD and gets the token back. We are calling LoginSilent() after 50mins(before 10 mins of token expire) so I can see its causing InteractionError as per above screenshot.
@tnorling I have one more doubt, as I said in msal v1 its was saved msal.idtoken in sessionstorage by msal lib and in v2 I did not find that . I created variable msalToken and saved token returned by AAD in this variable in sessionStorage. does it causing issue when we are calling acquireTokenSilent and it is not able to read cached token?
in V2 is there any way we can log msal.idtoken by msal package same as v1? so we can read from sessionStorage.getItem() in interceptor and send for api calls.
Is there any api permissions required when we call acquireTokenSilent for application.
When I googled the issue and tried to debug it I came across all above possibilities. Could you plz guide in this.

You should not be storing or looking up tokens in local/session storage. Caching is an implementation detail of the library and keys/values are subject to change at any time. When you need a token you should invoke acquireTokenSilent, it will return the token from the cache if available and if it returns InteractionRequired error you should catch this and invoke acquireTokenRedirect or acquireTokenPopup to resolve.
