User Invitation Link Returns Error "this connection does not support signups (incompatible screen_hint)"

Overview

Currently I have this setup in Auth0:
- Azure AD connection is created
- Connection associated with one of our Auth0 organizations
- The auto membership is disabled

The end client application react code is as follows (@auth0/auth0-react lib version we are using is 1.8.0):

loginWithRedirect({
 organization,
 invitation,
 screen_hint: 'signup',
 appState: {
  returnTo: `/${accountAlias}`,
 },
});



Once a user attempts to login/signup via an invitation, the user gets this error from Auth0:
'this connection does not support signups (incompatible screen_hint)"

Applies To

  • Invitation 
  • Signup 
  • Incompatible screen_hint

Cause

This limitation with screen_hint=signup is present only with a subset of connections - namely Azure AD, ADFS, and AD/LDAP, though for a Database connection, Auth0 would usually show the signup prompt during an invitation even if the screen_hint=signup property is not passed.

 

 

Solution

The customer found that omitting the screen_hint=signup will navigate the user to signup in case of DB connection
and will skip signup in case of Azure, so they do not see the error message.
