Microsoft Azure - Unable to generate the access token using user name and password using ADAL4J library

I have been using the adl4j library to get the access token using user name and password. It was working on-until few weeks back and now it was broken.

I am getting an error as "client secret / client association " is required. I have also tried with lastest released jar which is 1.2.0 version and having the same error.

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.microsoft.azure</groupId>
    <artifactId>adal4j</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.3</version>
</dependency>

public Future acquireToken(final String resource,
final String clientId, final String username,
final String password, final AuthenticationCallback callback)

However, I don't find the method signature to provide the client secret along with user name and password ?

Can you pls help me to fix this issue?

Here is log message :

com.microsoft.aad.adal4j.AuthenticationException: com.microsoft.aad.adal4j.AuthenticationException: {"error_description":"AADSTS70002: The request body must contain the following parameter: 'client_secret or client_assertion'.\r\nTrace ID: 708fffa5-eaeb-4722-98e1-ce75c9020d00\r\nCorrelation ID: 888b629b-136b-43b8-9403-90bd308db815\r\nTimestamp: 2017-04-04 22:30:41Z","error":"invalid_client"}

You registered an web app(confidential app) on Azure which requires secret when acquire the token.

If you want to use the Resource Password Owner Credentials Flow in this scenario, you can register an native app.
