Dear Wim,

Thank you for your experience report.

We are running OIDC with 3.5 and we also have problems with synchronising users from Azure to Moodle. Synch will not work anymore, so we have to create/change users in Moodle manually. After discussions with Microsoft Support and plugin developer we found the problem: it's a token problem and it should be solved in newer plugin versions for 3.8/3.9.

I think you already know the github pages of o365-plugin set, maybe you can find a solution for your problem: https://github.com/microsoft/o365-moodle/issues
espessially a solution for the token-synch problem: https://github.com/microsoft/o365-moodle/issues/1357 (but just for 3.5 - no guarantee that will solve your problem)

We also have troubles with synchronising profile pictures in 3.5 with oidc, we hope in newer versions of oidc or in oauth2 profile picture sync will work, but as you said it is also true for us "things could be worse" smile.

br, Anton
