Microsoft oauth login stopped working all of a sudden?

Question

I use Oauth via Microsoft and it has worked fine for a while, then a couple of weeks ago (can't remember exactly when) i got some tweet or something from someone saying that they had problems signing in with MS Oauth.

The error i get is this.

https://login.live.com/err.srf?lc=1033#error=invalid_request&error_description=The+provided+value+for+the+input+parameter+'redirect_uri'+is+not+valid.+The+expected+value+is+'https://login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf'+or+a+URL+which+matches+the+redirect+URI+registered+for+this+client+application.

The page actually says

"We're unable to complete your request

Microsoft account is experiencing technical problems. Please try again later."

And that indicates that they may actually have some issues but i think it's been like this for a while so i suspect it's just some generic error.

If i look at my request it says.

client_id=[MY CLIENT ID]&scope=wl.basic&response_type=code&redirect_uri=http://dev.ohso.se/login/ExternalLoginCallback/?provider=microsoft&sid=[some id]

I do get the same error on both my dev app and the production app i have setup.

This is how my callback URLs look like. I have tried to add URLS both with ExternalLoginCallback and externallogincallback but it doesn't seems to work. It looks like it's saved but it's gone when you return to the page.

Anyone know how to contat MS to at least report this bug and maybe also get hold of someone that can help debug my problem?

OK, got it. The issue is with your request URL, remove / character from ..back/?provid.... Your request URL should be

client_id=[MY CLIENT ID]&scope=wl.basic&response_type=code&redirect_uri=http://dev.ohso.se/login/ExternalLoginCallback?provider=microsoft&sid=[some id]

and you can have any redirect URL @MS

http://dev.ohso.se/login/ExternalLoginCallback

or

http://dev.ohso.se/login/ExternalLoginCallback/
