As per the sample, you need not manually configure the CONNECTION_NAME

https://github.com/OfficeDev/Copilot-for-M365-Samples/tree/main/samples/msgext-product-support-sso-csharp

This sample enables users to query the Products list in the Product support SharePoint Online team site via Microsoft Graph. Hence the connection name is configured as MicrosoftGraph in env file.

Otherwise, registering the Microsoft Entra ID identity provider with the bot in Azure while developing any app, we provide any random name as connection name.

This sample enables users to query the Products list in the Product support SharePoint Online team site via Microsoft Graph. Hence it is recommended to keep connection name as MicrosoftGraph

Otherwise, while registering the Microsoft Entra ID identity provider with the bot while developing any app we usually provide any random name as connection name.
