I am encountering the error “IntegratedAuthenticationNotSupportedInChannel” while using a custom agent within the out-of-the-box (OOB) Copilot for Finance and Operations.
Scenario:
The parent agent is the OOB Copilot for Finance and Operations.
A custom child agent is being invoked from the Sidecar.
The setup works correctly in Copilot Studio preview/testing.
However, when accessed via the Sidecar in Finance and Operations, it fails with the authentication error.
Troubleshooting Performed:
Modified the custom child agent’s security setting to “Authenticate manually.”
Noted that both parent and child agents must use the same authentication method.
Attempted to change the OOB Copilot for Finance and Operations agent authentication to “Authenticate manually.”
However, the Sign-in topic does not toggle on for the OOB agent, preventing alignment of authentication methods.
Issue:
It appears that Integrated Authentication is not supported in the Sidecar channel, and aligning authentication methods between the parent (OOB) and child agent is not functioning as expected.
Requesting guidance on:
Correct authentication configuration for OOB Copilot (Finance & Operations) when invoking a custom child agent from Sidecar.
Whether Integrated Authentication is supported in this channel.
Recommended approach to resolve authentication mismatch between parent and child agents.
