Generative Answers - Sharepoint as source - Authentication Issue

Hi

I have Microsoft Teams ONLY authentication turned on; however, I'm getting an error when trying to use Sharepoint as a source for a Generative Answer module.

If I turn on manual authentication, the error does not exist. However, I've been struggling to get manual authentication to work with Microsoft Teams. If I configure Manual Authentication following these guides: 
Configure user authentication with Azure Active Directory - Power Virtual Agents | Microsoft Learn
Configure single sign-on for the Power Virtual Agents app in Teams - Power Virtual Agents | Microsof...
Configure single sign-on for the Power Virtual Agents app in Teams - Power Virtual Agents | Microsof...
The bot just constantly asks me to login, but doesn't provide the same "Login" button that the Bot Test in the Power Virtual Agents dashboard provides.

Additionally, Generative answer doesn't even want to query the Sharepoint site when using the bot on the demo site (where I can successfully authenticate). The bot just stops responding, it doesn't provide any error. I can get the generative answer module to work if I use a public website.

Please advise thoughts.

 

Side note, I should advise I'm unable to complete this step in Azure AD.

I figure though, for some single user testing, the admin consent is not required. It feels like I shouldn't be experiencing the issues I'm experiencing for simply not granting admin consent.

Hi @brodie-sky, thank you for your exploration of these new capabilities!

 

While PVA doesn't support SSO for Microsoft Teams when you setup manual authentication, authentication should work once you click the Login button in Teams.

Once you're authenticated, Generative Answers should work over a SharePoint site:

With Manual authentication, because it's using an Azure Active Directory application to retrieve the internal files and pages the logged-in user has access to, it needs some delegated API permissions: Files.Read.All and Sites.Read.All.

These permissions require admin consent for them to work in PVA.

If admin consent isn't provided, it won't be able to return results:

Regarding the AuthenticationInputNotEnabled error in the topic checker when you use "Only in Teams" authentication:

It looks like it's not blocking. I'll raise it internally so can fix this bug.

It works for me in the test pane:

Hi @brodie-sky ,

 

I am also testing the same feature to connect to SharePoint, but I am facing the below error. Could you please guide me on where to provide authentication details?

Hi @Sow234, I see you're internal, can you please ping me?

I don't see an error message in your screeshot.

Ah okay! Great!

So I can just use Teams authentication. I'll stick with that.
The only reason I went down the path of manual authentication is because of the error I was seeing.

I'll test on my end shortly. Thanks for the swift response!

@HenryJammes is there any additional configuration required to get “only teams” authentication to work with Sharepoing querying?

 

I’m still having issues.

 

Can the Sharepoint only contain PDFs? Or does it need pages with text also?

@HenryJammes false alarm. It seems to be working now

@Sow234 @HenryJammes sorry about the influx of posts. I think a small, but great addition, will be some kind of feedback if the generative answer fails. Right now it just silently fails.

As far as I know it should work with files (pdf, docx, pptx) and pages (aspx)

@HenryJammes I think the generative answers module is struggling with anything that isn't just a webpage with text, including Sharepoint. It seems to be much more responsive with Sharepoint pages that are text, vs PDF's, PPTX, and DOCX files uploaded into Sharepoint.

Do you have any inside intel that may support this?
