Hello Pasupathi,

Welcome to Q&A, It seems like you’re exploring whether you can use a Service Principal (SPN) to authenticate the Azure Migrate appliance for agentless migration of VMware workloads.

As I know unfortunately, the appliance doesn’t officially support SPN authentication during setup. The current approach generally relies on interactive login methods.
