Describe the problem

I'm trying to login using wsl2 to netbird via SSO and face with errors below:

Error logs:

netbird up --management-url https://netbird.xxx.xxxxnet:33073
2025-11-16T18:42:20+08:00 WARN client/cmd/root.go:248: retrying Login to the Management service in 567.653817ms due to error rpc error: code = Unknown desc = no SSO provider returned from management. Please proceed with setting up this device using setup keys https://docs.netbird.io/how-to/register-machines-using-setup-keys
Error: daemon up failed: login backoff cycle failed: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = no SSO provider returned from management. Please proceed with setting up this device using setup keys https://docs.netbird.io/how-to/register-machines-using-setup-keys

SSO is configured succesfully and all windows devices can connect to it without issue.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install netbird on a linux vm
  2. run netbird up --management-url xxx

Expected behavior

A link/url that I can paste in the browser to authenticate.

Are you using NetBird Cloud?

Self hosted

NetBird version

Is any other VPN software installed?

Have you tried with the additional --no-browser? For example, the command would be:

netbird up --management-url https://netbird.xxx.xxxxnet:33073 --no-browser
