Fix AADSTS900144: The request body must contain the parameter

In this article, we shall discuss the steps to Fix AADSTS900144: The request body must contain the parameter. The AADSTS900144 is an Entra ID formally (Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)) error code. This error indicates a required parameter is missing from an authentication request.

Note: Without this parameter, Azure AD cannot process the request. Therefore, we shall discuss the Fix AADSTS900144: The request body must contain the parameter.

Why was this error “AADSTS900144” Prompted?

As mentioned above, the error AADSTS900144. The request body must contain the following parameter ‘client_id’ usually happens when there is a problem with authentication to Azure AD. This often occurs in applications like Microsoft Teams as it is in this case. See the Solution 2 in the table below.

This means that the application, in this case Teams, tried to sign in but did not include a valid client_id, which is needed for Azure AD to recognize the application. Please see the image below for more information.

Since this particular issues occurred on my Windows device and not Mac. I will only show you the steps I employed to resolve it on Windows.

We will have to delete Teams credentials in Windows Credential Manager as shown below. To do this, launch the Windows dialog box using the Win key + R combination.

Then enter the following “control keymgr.dll” into the search box and click on OK. This will open the credential manager as shown below. I will pay attentions to credentials that relate to Microsoft Teams and remove them.

As you can see, I have started removing some of these credentials. Select an account to remove and when prompted if you want to permanently delete this generic credential. Enter Yes.

As you can see in teams, the accounts are still cached and available. When you try to login, you will be prompted with the same issue.
