Cannot Login Windows with AAD Joined Devices via Okta Federation

If your Azure is federated to Okta, your windows 10 devices may not able to log in to Windows with just a purely Azure AD joined environment. The error message will tell you that you have the wrong username and password(but it is not).

I googled on the internet, it looks like it requires WS-Trust. Since Okta default only allows modern authentication, and Windows logon service uses basic legacy authentication, which causes users cannot log in to Windows.

The fix is to add Windows-AzureAD-Authentication-Provider/1.0 into the Custom user agent strings in your Okta Office365 settings.
