Description

1. Describe the bug
When the new vsCodeAuthentication setting is activated, we can not connect to sandboxes outside of our tenant. It does not matter if debugging, or downloading symbols. Always getting an error.

This is happening for a lot of developers, see https://engage.cloud.microsoft/main/org/microsoft.com/threads/eyJfdHlwZSI6IlRocmVhZCIsImlkIjoiMzc4Mjc5MzY1MTE4MzYxNiJ9?trk_copy_link=V2

2. To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Get the newest prerelease version 18.0.2242655
  2. Add launch config for a tenant outside of your own tenant to your launch.json
  3. Download symbols/start debugging for this config

3. Expected behavior
It should download symbols/start debugging successful.

4. Actual behavior

Getting the following error:

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the AL Language prerelease 18.0.2242655, a launch.json configuration for another tenant, and al.useVsCodeAuthentication enabled. Compare symbol download and debugging behavior with the setting disabled; done means both operations work against an external tenant without the Not Found error.
