az ad sp credential reset

Edit

Reset a service principal's password or certificate credentials.

By default, this command clears all passwords and keys, and let graph service generate a password credential.

The output includes credentials that you must protect. Be sure that you do not include these credentials in your code or check the credentials into your source control. As an alternative, consider using managed identities if available to avoid the need to use credentials.

az ad sp credential reset --id
                          [--append]
                          [--cert]
                          [--create-cert]
                          [--display-name]
                          [--end-date]

Optional Parameters
