Azure Account timeout, cannot use Azure plugins

[PaulBernhardt]

OS: Windows 11, also WSL Ubuntu

We are currently evaluating Cursor as a replacement for VS Code / Co-Pilot, and noticed this problem, which is now blocking us: The Azure extensions do not function, with a "timed out waiting for authentication provider to register" message.

You can try and do the Azure login commands but it does not seem to do anything inside of Cursor

This issue related to remote tunnels mentioned this problem, but I think this is a separate issue: https://github.com/getcursor/cursor/issues/1191

Also see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-azure-account/issues/897, though it does seem like it's a Cursor issue.

Writing to endorse the issue. I'm having the same problem here.

[Apologin]

Same issue here. No solution yet.

[icazemier]

Got a similar error with the Microsoft Entra External ID (Preview) extension in VSCode... Just installed, and trying an existing subscription.

No success.

[MrErikCodes]

Yep, same issue. On latest

[jonasherfort]

Same issue here, also a problem with the databricks extension. Only a problem with WSL though.

Same problem here

Seems like this issue is related to the fact that Azure authentication is relying now on this Microsoft Authentication extension, which is build-in VSCode lately. This extension is missing on cursor. So, if anyone knows how to pack that buildin extension into a .vsix file probably it will solve this problem.

I looked heavily into this a while ago but had to switch back to vscode for the project I needed Azure integrations with.

And to your point @vladsterian-diconium, I even tried switching the MS auth setting that PR is aiming to do:

"azure-dev.auth.useIntegratedAuth": true,

"azure.authenticationLibrary": "MSAL", // MSAL: Microsoft Authentication Library (Preview) vs ADAL: Azure Active Directory Authentication Library (default)

But not luck.

[atans2468]

Still having this issue as well

[TomMoeras]

This seems to be the solution: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-azure-account/issues/897#issuecomment-2424082420

Found the fix elsewhere. https://forum.cursor.com/t/azure-extension-doesent-work/3949/15

Fix Azure extensions on Cursor Cursor does not come with Microsoft authentication, a builtin extension for vscode

To get this extension, grab it from VSCode \AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\extensions\microsoft-authentication Copy to \AppData\Local\Programs\cursor\resources\app\extensions

For MacOS

/Applications/Visual Studio Code. app/Contents/Resources/app/extensions/microsoft-authentication and /Applications/Cursor.app/Contents/Resources/app/extensions

Reload Cursor windows after.

See additional steps at the link to connect to servers.

I confirm that the solution works, however only using MSAL
