Why Does the Sign-In Error 2002 Occur

We noticed that the 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 a few web applications and websites and access restriction was applied through Device Feature – Web Content Filter. When you select Specific websites only in Filter Type then only those websites will be allowed which URLs are added. All other websites will be blocked. The issue was happening as the o365 app sign-in URLs were not in the allowed list. The web filter “Specific websites only” restricts the site’s access from the Apple Safari browser. When the user tries to sign in to the application, the M365 sign-in page opens in the Safari web browser where website access is blocked.

As per Microsoft documentation, the following URLs should be accessible for o365 apps to work.

  • https://office365.com

We updated the Web Content Filter to allow these sites, forced policy sync on a device, and checked again. The issue was fixed quickly after the policy update.
