Get/Refresh TFS OAuth token failed with invalid_grant

Question

I am receiving this error on my Azure website, it's only recently started happening!

It's hooked up to Visual Studio Online / TF Service, so it gets deployed from there.

Why could this be happening?

Answer 1

Try disconnect TFS in Web site in Azure manage (Disconnect from Visual Studio Online), if you can't do it because Azure throws you a message like "Could not disconnect TFS from the Windows Azure cloud service 'UAT'" or similar, you can go to Control Panel in TFS Administration and select Services Section, and disconnect Azure service, now Disconnect from Visual Studio Online in Azure.

Finally, you reconnect with a source control and select Visual Studio in TFS Administration.

Answer 2

I had this same error show up when I logged into the Azure Management Console. However, when I disconnected the web site from Visual Studio Online, it did it successfully. I then reconnected it to Visual Studio Online and I no longer get the error.

It appears that they have fixed the issue with disconnecting so the built in tools should now work without requiring a work-around.
