Enforcing WAM for Interactive Microsoft Graph Sessions
Tony Redmond at Office 365 for IT Pros breaks down an upcoming service side change from Microsoft that requires delegated interactive sessions using the Microsoft Graph Command Line Tools application to use Web Account Manager for authentication. The shift renders browser based sign ins obsolete on older SDK releases, meaning administrators managing multiple accounts or juggling cross module assembly conflicts must switch to tenant registered applications or app only authentication to preserve their workflows.
