Invalid configuration: authentication.ps1

PowerShell Universal

I can’t seem to get this error to go away in my environment. It’s always been a problem for this error to pop up but ADFS is working as expected in my environment so I’m not really sure what could be causing this problem.

My log file consistently keeps throwing this error as well.

Here’s my configuration. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to put for my wreply field so I’ve left it blank. I did find that other thread where it says it’s mistakenly required so is that the source of my issues?

"WSFed": {
      "Enabled": "true",
      "MetadataAddress": "https://ADFS.Server.Local/FederationMetadata/2007-06/FederationMetadata.xml",
      "Wtrealm": "https://Univeral.Server.Local",
      "CallbackPath": "/auth/signin-wsfed",
	"wreply": "",
      "UseTokenLifetime": true,
      "CorrelationCookieSameSite": ""
    }

If you have configured WSFed in your appsettings.json file, you shouldn’t need to configure it in authentication.ps1. I would just comment out the Set-PSUAuthentication call in authentication.ps1 to see if your authentication continues to work and the error is no longer shown.

That did it! Thanks Adam for the quick response!
