Hello,
We know how to use and configure Managed Service Account with windows-services and Scheduled-batch-tasks and run the service under the security context of MSA
Can we use the MSA for any installed application and run the app under the security context of MSA ??
Basically my idea is this home-grown .NET app that I have installed on my windows box wants to invoke one kerberized-network-service (s1)
So my app will need to collect a kerberos-service-ticket of S1
Computer will help my app (running under MSA identity ) in getting service-ticket of S1
now my application-code can make the call to S1
Thanks

Yes - assuming you configure the app to run as a service

@Marcin Policht Did you read the very first line of my question ??
Confirmed. I gather my response was not clear enough. My point is that if you need to use gMSA for an arbitrary app, you need to first convert it to a service.
