CAUSE

This issue can occur if the time setting in the on-premises environment doesn't match the time setting of the Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) authentication system. Where the time difference between Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) clients or servers and the Azure AD authentication system is more than 5 minutes, logons by federated users will fail. This may occur if one or more of the following conditions are true:
  • The client computer or computers aren't syncing correctly with the on-premises Active Directory.
  • The AD FS service components aren't syncing correctly with the on-premises Active Directory.
  • The on-premises Active Directory Primary Domain Controller (PDC) emulator isn't syncing to an accurate Internet time source.
  • The token validity period for AD FS claims is too short.

SOLUTION

To resolve this issue, use one of the following methods:

Method 1: Set up client computers and AD FS servers to use the on-premises Active Directory PDC emulator as a Network Time Protocol (NTP) time source

  1. Set up client computers and the AD FS servers to correctly sync time from the on-premises Active Directory PDC emulator. For more info about how to do this, go to Configure a client computer for automatic domain time synchronization.
  2. Make sure that IP connectivity between client computers and AD FS servers and the on-premises Active Directory PDC emulator is available on UDP port 123.

Method 2: Set up the on-premises Active Directory PDC emulator to use a reliable Internet-based NTP time source

  1. Set up the on-premises Active Directory PDC emulator to sync time from a trusted Internet NTP source. For more info about how to do this, go to Configuring a time source for the forest.
  2. Make sure that IP connectivity between the Active Directory PDC Emulator and the Internet time source is available on UDP port 123.

Method 3: Update the token validity period

The token validity period for AD FS should not be less than five minutes. To change the token validity period, go to Claims-based authentication and security token expiration.
