How I can change Azure DevOps Server (On-prem) authentication from NTLM to Azure AD ?

Question

Hi, I want to integrate my Azure DevOps Server 2022 with Azure AD tenant, So I checked on chatgpt as I didn't find any relevant solution and got below answer from chatgpt:

1. Set up Azure AD:
   • Create an Azure AD tenant if you don't have one already.
   • Register your Azure DevOps Server application in Azure AD.
   • Configure the necessary permissions and consent for the application.
2. Configure Azure DevOps Server:
   • Open the Azure DevOps Server Administration Console on your server.
   • Go to the "Authentication" tab.
   • Select the "Azure Active Directory" option.
3. Configure Azure AD authentication settings:
   • Provide the Azure AD tenant ID.
   • Enter the client ID and client secret obtained during the Azure AD application registration.
   • Configure additional settings such as the sign-in URL and reply URL.
4. Test the configuration:
   • Restart the Azure DevOps Server services to apply the changes.
   • Access the Azure DevOps Server web portal and verify if you can authenticate using Azure AD credentials.

Could you please confirm if this process is correct? And if this is the correct process but in my azure devops server console I don't see any EDIT OPTION where I can change my authentication from NTLM to Azure AD.
