Adal Angular5 Adal5Service.acquireToken falls with "Token renewal operation failed due to timeout", but there are successful requests in network

Question

Try to use adal-angular5 and have problem with Adal5Service.acquireToken method: it is always falls with:

Token renewal operation failed due to timeout

Online full example on StackBlitz. To test:

paste your tenant
paste your clientId
register URL https://angular-96tws9.stackblitz.io in Azure Portal for your app
open in new window

Here is app.component.ts:

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { Adal5Service } from 'adal-angular5';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
  constructor(private adalSvc: Adal5Service) {
    let config: adal.Config = {
      tenant: 'XXX.onmicrosoft.com',
      clientId: '21efffd5-29fc-XXX',
      postLogoutRedirectUri: window.location.origin,
      endpoints: {
        graphApiUri: "https://graph.microsoft.com",
      },
      cacheLocation: "localStorage",
      redirectUri: ''
    };

    this.adalSvc.init(config);
  }

  ngOnInit(): void {
    this.adalSvc.handleWindowCallback();

    if (!this.adalSvc.userInfo.authenticated) {
      this.adalSvc.login();
      return;
    }

    // work correct
    console.log(this.adalSvc.userInfo.username);

    this.adalSvc.acquireToken("https://graph.microsoft.com")
      .subscribe(
        token => console.log(token), // never comes
        error => console.log(error)); // error: Token renewal operation failed due to timeout
  }
}

There are correct acquired token In network:

I'm not sure if it's your implementation but it seems other people are having this issue as well. This issue on ng2-adal states that there is an issue w/ acquireToken() for [email protected] (read last comment).

adal-angular is the underlying package for both of those adal implementations. I ran into this myself using ng2-adal and downgraded to [email protected] and got acquireToken() to work. Not sure how adal-angular5 handles this though.

Here is example I used with ng2-adal package (using Angular/.NET Core) and another (standalone) if you are looking to try ng2-adal. Hope this helps.
