Troubleshooting

Test Connection fails with “CredentialValidationUnavailable”

If Test Connection in Microsoft Entra ID fails with the error code CredentialValidationUnavailable and the message “An error occurred while sending the request”, Entra didn’t get a usable response from Yodeck. This is a network-level error that Entra reports. It doesn’t mean that Yodeck rejected your Secret Token.

  1. Click Test Connection again.

  2. If it fails again, note the exact time of the attempt, with your time zone, and the Request ID that Entra shows for the failed test.

  3. Contact our Support team and send them both, so they can trace the request.

Testing the Tenant URL returns 404 or 401

If you send a request to the Tenant URL yourself (the Identifier you copied from the Yodeck Portal), for example with curl, the response code tells you what happened:

  • 404 Not Found with your Secret Token: this is expected. The Tenant URL is a base address, not a resource, so it has nothing to return. Entra calls specific paths under it, such as /Users. The 404 also confirms that Yodeck accepted your token.

  • 401 Unauthorized: the request had no Secret Token or the token isn’t valid.

The Secret Token stays the same after you turn Deprovision using SCIM off and on

This is expected. Your SCIM token is tied to your account’s SSO configuration and stays the same by design. It doesn’t change when you turn Deprovision using SCIM off and on again, so you don’t need to update it in Entra.

If you need a new token, for example for security reasons, contact our Support team and they will help you replace it.
