Connect-MgGraph

Question

I want to connect to Azure MS Graph using an Azure Service Principal. How can I generate a certificate for the Azure Service Principal? I have the Client ID and Tenant ID. I need to fetch users information from Azure AD, and I have the required Graph API permissions. Can I connect using a client secret instead of a certificate

Connect-MgGraph -ClientId “{clientID}” -TenantId “{TenantID}” -CertificateThumbprint “{Thumbprint}”

Hello Roger Roger,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Support!

You can connect using the client secret as follows:

$ClientSecretCredential = Get-Credential -Username "Client_Id"
# Enter client_secret in the password prompt.
Connect-MgGraph -TenantId "Tenant_Id" -ClientSecretCredential $ClientSecretCredential
