Business value

Microsoft is increasing the strength of its authentication across the board, including Dynamics 365 finance and operations apps. Therefore, we are removing the option to authenticate with certificates.

Feature details

The server for Dynamics 365 finance and operations apps, known as the Application Object Server (AOS), will strengthen security by removing the ability to authenticate with certificates. This means we will no longer provide the ability in the Regression suite automation tool (RSAT) to provide a certificate. The user must use a username and password, using an Entra policy, to avoid multi-factor authentication.
