If the device authenticated based on Entra ID using Captive Portal, then can we assign the vlan based on the Entra Group?

You can refer to this article: Technical Tip: FortiNAC-F Captive Portal with Entra ID SSO
and User Group Assignment and the Entra ID Cookbook.

It sounds like a classic mismatch between the firewall's expected return URL and what Entra ID is sending back. Have you double-checked that the Redirect URI in your Azure App Registration exactly matches the one configured on the FortiGate? Even a missing trailing slash can sometimes break the handshake.

Another thing to look at is the walled garden (FQDN addresses) in your captive portal profile. If the client can't reach the Microsoft login endpoints or the CSS/JS resources before they are authenticated, the portal often just hangs or loops. It’s worth adding the common Microsoft login URLs to the exempt list to see if that clears it up.
