Azure DC - Connect with certificate instead of Service Principal password

One of our customers is asking why we can only use a Service Principal with password for connecting an Azure DC in Smart Console and not a certificate as they mandate as much as possible. Is it on the roadmap or are there limitations on this?

Hi Alex,

For now it's is not in the roadmap for 2024.

RnD will consider adding this feature as we received this request from other customers as well.

Thanks for confirming, I will look if we proceed with an RFE.
