If no user is selected when trying to connect to Microsoft Graph, PowerShell crashes, while the Windows user selection dialog remains open:
> date
try {
Connect-MgGraph -ErrorAction stop -ContextScope Process -TenantId 'xxx' -ClientId 'yyy'
} catch {
Write-Warning 'Cannot Connect'
} finally {
'Esto sí se ejecuta!'
}

Can Connect-MgGraph have a -timeout parameter? Or better can this issue be fixed? Do you have any workaround?
On our real environment Windows User Selection Dialog is hide (a script launch a second script which launch connect-mgintune) and often we don't see the dialog, so first script can't know what happened.
Get-Module Microsoft.Graph.Authentication
ModuleType Version Name ExportedCommands
---------- ------- ---- ----------------
Script 2.35.1 Microsoft.Graph.Authentication
Describe the solution you'd like.
This works:
try {
Connect-MgGraph -ErrorAction stop -ContextScope Process -TenantId 'xxx' -ClientId 'yyy' -timeout 300
} catch {
Write-Warning 'Cannot Connect'
} finally {
'Esto sí se ejecuta!'
}
I will open an issue (this one feature request for timeout and the issue for fix Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin management)
Additional context?
No response
