So for this new application i need to create an SPN and keytab for the sight from our Azure AD Domain.
SPN not an issue, using Azure Powershell and New-AzADServicePrincipal cmdlet,
but I now need a keytab which normally would use ktpass, This is not available in Azure?
Anyone any idea?

    Hello @TonyN ,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    keytab is only used with Kerberos based authentication, but Azure AD used different protocols (such as SAML, OAuth, OpenID connect etc..,) for authentication.

    Do you mean secret/credential for application authentication that you created in Azure AD? if so please find below article for creating new application secret which you can use for authentication.
