CONTAP-389471: RFE: Support for Microsoft Entra-ID (Azure Active Directory) as an External Authentication Source in ONTAP
Issue
- Ability to configure ONTAP to use Microsoft Entra-ID (formerly known as Azure Active Directory) as an external authentication source.
- Currently, ONTAP does not support direct authentication with Microsoft Entra-ID, which poses a challenge as Microsoft plans to deprecate further development of on-premise Active Directory (AD).
- Align with Microsoft's direction to avoid potential future issues with on-premise AD.
