Error AADSTS70001 – Application with Identifier was not found in the directory

This article describes a problem in which you receive the error message “Error AADSTS70001 – Application with Identifier was not found in the directory.” when trying to sign into a SAML-based single sign-on (SSO) configured app that has been integrated with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).

Symptoms

You receive error AADSTS70001 when trying to sign into an application that has been set up to use Azure AD for identity management using SAML-based SSO.

Cause

The Issuer attribute sent from the application to Azure AD in the SAML request doesn’t match the Identifier value that’s configured for the application in Azure AD.

Resolution

Ensure that the Issuer attribute in the SAML request matches the Identifier value configured in Azure AD.

On the SAML-based SSO configuration page, in the Basic SAML configuration section, verify that the value in the Identifier textbox matches the value for the identifier value displayed in the error. If there’s a trailing slash at the end of the url, it should be also included.

Using the Test SSO Function in the Azure AD Portal

The Azure AD Portal can help you troubleshoot SAML configuration errors.
