SharePoint Agent: Switch to Entra ID App Certificate by May 2026

Microsoft announced that, effective May 1, 2026, IDCRL authentication will be disabled and is no longer supported for SharePoint Online connections. To maintain access, use an Entra ID app certificate for authentication from that date.

For PeopleSync to use OAuth with SharePoint Online, create an app registration in the Azure portal that uses certificate authentication and assign the required permissions.

Please see How To Migrate SharePoint Agent to OAuth for details.
