Entra ID - Creating App uses client secret instead of certificate

[sumeet]

Hello,

Entra ID - Creating App uses client secret instead of certificate.
If I use the option to create the App from VBR -- https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120
I see that Client secret is setup, which I think VBR must be recording to request tokens when authenticating with Entra ID. This secret is valid only for a year.

But when using the option to specify an existing application -- https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120
There is an option to either use client secret or certificate.

Why has this not been designed as VBM365 -- https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbo36 ... tml?ver=80
Where-in in both cases of either creating a new App or using an existing App, certificates are used.

Microsoft recommends using a certificate (instead of a client secret) as a credential.

Hello,

It's an interesting idea, many thanks for bringing it up! We will discuss it internally, but I cannot provide any timelines or an ETA for this enhancement.

Thanks!
