Why Does the Sign-In Error 2002 Occur

We noticed that issue was happening for a specific customer site. The devices were enrolled using a separate Apple Device Enrollment ( ADE ) profile. The separate Device configuration Feature & Restriction policies were applied to these devices.

These devices were configured to allow only few web applications and website and access restriction was applied through Device Feature – Web Content Filter. When you select Specific websites only in Filter Type then only those website will be allowed which URL’s are added. All other websites will be blocked. The issue was happening as o365 apps sign-in URL’s were not in allowed list. The web filter “Specific websites only” restrict the sites access from Apple Safari browser. When user try to sign-in to application, the M365 sign-in page open in Safari web browser where website access was blocked.
