MacBook asks for access to Adalcache

What is Adalcache exactly? Every time I start my Macbook it asks for acces to Adalcache. I have to provide my security-password, but it does not react on my input.

From what I've found by checking around some, there's a functional

connection between Adalcache and Microsoft product support.


An example where com.microsoft.adalcache appears; so its likely

windows based and could run in software in macOS; perhaps in

bootcamp or run Windows in a Mac. (where reference appears)


A search I found brought up a few pieces; here's one:


Adalcache - Microsoft Community | Forum

Microsoft 365 and Office. Search Community member: "I started getting the

following message a day or so ago, "OneDrive wants to use your confidential

information stored in "adalcache" in your keychain."

"..When the Microsoft Authentication Library for iOS and macOS

(MSAL) signs in a user, or refreshes a token, it tries to cache tokens

in the keychain. Caching tokens in the keychain allows MSAL to provide

silent single sign-on (SSO) between multiple apps that are distributed

by the same Apple developer.."

Since I'm not into this, I've stumbled across bits and pieces, in places.

So to focus in Microsoft, this comes up; in association with their stuff.

Not sure this does anything, except 'authentication-using-adal-for-net' is a part.

Good luck & happy trails!🌤🐝
