Microsoft Graph - PopAuthenticatorInvalidSignature errors when patching to calendar events

Question

We're seeing errors with the graph api when making a PATCH request to https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/calendars/$(CALENDAR_ID)/events/$(EVENT_ID) .

This is in an integration that has been in production for some time and we've never seen this before. Is this a bug with the api, downtime, or something we should handle on our end? Here's an example response:

HTTP 401
{
  "error": {
    "code": "PopAuthenticatorInvalidSignature",
    "message": "Signature is invalid for pop authenticator.",
    "innerError": {
      "date": "2019-09-25T18:33:37",
      "request-id": "1383b020-6ba0-44db-85b8-03cfbf277cd3"
    }
  }
}

Here are additional request ids:

Happy to provide additional information if needed.

Answer 1

This was a server side issue that's now been rectified.

Answer 2

I've seen this exact issue across multiple customers' Graph applications. It's been sporadic since at least yesterday and as of roughly 17:30 Central today, it's stopped happening completely. It certainly looks like some sporadic API outage/issue.

We have not re-registered any applications - it just stopped failing on its own. We've encountered this issue with apps that have been registered with both the old and the new app registration system, so I don't think it's related at all.

I read the deprecation notice on the old app registration portal as saying that the old portal is deprecated, not that any previously registered apps are deprecated and need to be re-registered. Microsoft would never silently break nearly everyone's API access like that.

Answer 3

I think I got an answer. Looks like Microsoft has deprecated an old way of registering applications. If you go to https://apps.dev.microsoft.com you will see the deprecation message and also will find a link where you can handle it.

I did it and my application is working again.
