Unattended Login over Powershell Script to Azure AD without adding the password in plain text

Question

Hello Everyone

We currently have created a small application that automatically reads Users from a database, that should get added (or changed) automatically in our Azure Active Directory with a Powershell script. Now we would like to log onto the Azure AD with this script, without adding the password in plain text. Is there a possibility to log onto the Azure Active Directory unattended, without adding the password to the file itself?

Thank you for your Help.

Kind regards,

Gabriel

Answer 1

Use Cert based auth instead. Dont use a service account with a password.

Answer 2

Get-mguser works for all users.

Example:

Get-MgUser -All  
Get-MgUser -UserId <user>  

etc..
