az cli login redirects to 'https://login.windows-ppe.net' instead of 'login.micosoftonline.com'

[jaeyonglee8687]

I have tried to sign in to my azure account via 'az login' command, and it opens a window redirecting me to 'https://login.windows-ppe.net' instead of 'login.micosoftonline.com'.

I used the same credential to login, 'jaeyonglee@microsoft.com', but it brings a different set of subscriptions; Cloud name 'dogfood' that are not under my actual azure production account. I see that 'https://login.windows-ppe.net' is navigating me to 'Microsoft dogfood' authentification process.

I've tried to directly sign in with the tenant ID, which is blocked.

When I try to see the list of subscriptions via Cloud Shell on Azure, I can see all subscriptions I have.
This results in a weird behavior in VS code,

• Using Azure extension in VSC and I am able to see all my subscriptions.
• When I try to list the subscriptions via cli, then it shows different subscription

Is there any way I can change the default behavior?

This is because you registered dogfood cloud before and switched to it.

To use public Azure, please run

az cloud set --name AzureCloud

@jiasli Problem solved! Would be nice if there were some guidance to hint at this solution. I spent quite some time googling this issue, but couldn't really get the answer (probably because I am not familiar with this, but I also asked other 2 engineers, but this issue was not familiar with them at all as well).

Azure CLI by default does use AzureCloud, thus https://login.micosoftonline.com to log in.

The user must

1. manually register dogfood with az cloud register
2. switch to it with az cloud set

for it to take effect.

Adding guidance or hint for something the user deliberately did would make the terminal output too crowded in my opinion. It's like I turned on auto-hold in my car, and the display hints me to turn it off, right?
