Azure
Unable to connect to `login.microsoftonline.com` when running `az login` on WSL: `ConnectTimeoutError`
Describe the bug
I'm unable to run Azure CLI commands on a WSL Ubuntu 24.04. I am able to resolve login.microsoft.com.
nslookup login.microsoftonline.com
Server: 10.255.255.254
Address: 10.255.255.254#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: login.microsoftonline.com
Address: 6.6.0.4
Eventually it times out with a connection timeout.
I have checked https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli/issues/21514 and it doesn't help.

I've started having the exact same issue with WSL on Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS. It used to work before.
nslookup works - ~$ nslookup login.microsoftonline.com Server: 10.255.255.254 Address: 10.255.255.254#53
Non-authoritative answer: Name: login.microsoftonline.com Address: 6.6.0.100
But curl to https://login.microsoftonline.com/ from WSL hangs. Invoke-WebRequest https://login.microsoftonline.com/ from powershell in Windows works fine, so it seems to be WSL specific. I've tried disabling the Windows Firewall but that doesn't seem to help.
I'm on the latest az cli and the debug output is -

I've been seeing the same issue since January 26th. For me, the issue only happens with Ubuntu 22.04 WSL, but not with my Ubuntu 24.04 instance (or Windows), for some reason. Wiping and reinstalling 22.04 doesn't seem to help either.
It also only occurs from home, but not when I use WSL on a DevBox (which is how I'm working around the issue currently).
As curl doesn't work for @shivshanks either:
But curl to https://login.microsoftonline.com/ from WSL hangs. Invoke-WebRequest https://login.microsoftonline.com/ from powershell in Windows works fine, so it seems to be WSL specific. I've tried disabling the Windows Firewall but that doesn't seem to help.
I also think this is a WSL issue.
@sabbour, @stevchin, could you try using curl and see if it can connect to https://login.microsoftonline.com/ ?
curl https://login.microsoftonline.com/organizations/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configuration
You may also try using python:
/opt/az/bin/python3 -c "import requests; print(requests.get('https://login.microsoftonline.com/organizations/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configuration').status_code)"
If they also fail, I recommend opening an issue on https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues.
Yes, it does seem to be a WSL issue. I installed Ubuntu 24.04 and still have issues making a request via curl to https://login.microsoftonline.com/. In fact, neither does https://www.microsoft.com work but https://www.google.com/ works!
One way to work around it is to install az-cli on Windows via the MSI. One of the nice things about WSL is that most windows programs can be invoked from within WSL, The MSI does add itself to the path that is exposed to WSL and it works within WSL. I've tested it with simple shell scripts inside WSL and it seems to be fine.
I'll file an issue with WSL later when I get a chance. If someone gets to it before, please share a link.
When I changed the DNS server to 8.8.8.8 in resolv.conf, it immediately works until WSL overwrites the file again.
Yes, that does seem to be the issue.
Even if you set the option - generateResolvConf = false
as it recommends, if you shutdown and restart WSL it resets it to the earlier option.
It seems I misread the instructions on where to set the generateResolvConf. You need to set this option in wsl.conf and not resolv.conf (as I did by mistake). But next you need to remove the /etc/resolv.conf which is symlink and then create your own.
So, the steps to fix it are -
- Save your current /etc/resolv.conf
- Add the following to /etc/wsl.conf [network] generateResolvConf = false
- Shutdown wsl
- Start your distro again and remove the symlink via sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf.
- Create a new /etc/resolv.conf with your saved values and nameserver as 8.8.8.8 or whatever you need.
The real bug seems to be that WSL seems to be auto creating a resolv.conf with a nameserver that doesn't work.
I've filed an issue against WSL here - https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/12587
I fixed this by turning networking to NAT and turning off these DNS options in WSL Settings:
Doing a wsl --update resolved this issue for me (version 2.6.1.0 now), no other networking or config changes needed.
