Answer 1

Hi Devin Goodson,

Microsoft does not send automated reminders for client secret expiration** for apps registered in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). To track and renew client secrets before they expire, you can follow the steps:

1. Check Expiration Manually
   • Go to the Azure Portal > Azure Active Directory > App Registrations > Your App.
     • Under Certificates & secrets, you’ll see the expiration date of your client secret.
   • Set Up Manual Reminders
     • Mark the expiration date in your calendar or IT operations tool (e.g., 1 month before expiry).
     • Rotate the secret before it expires to avoid service disruptions.
2. Automate Tracking (Optional)

• Use tools like Azure Monitor, Logic Apps, or third-party services to programmatically check expiration dates and trigger alerts.
  • Example: Create a PowerShell script to check secrets and send email notifications.
