Heads up using native Azure token for SSO to JDE

It's cheap - yeah?  Cheerful - yeah... but is using a native Azure token for logging into JDE reliable?  - NO...  

Please read this and understand that you cannot have your JAS servers trusting a rolling cert.  Therefore you need some level of intermediate service that does the auth to Azure and created a JWT that JDE trusts... https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/signing-key-rollover

Even if you checked it every 5 minutes (as per the above) and then automatically imported that into your certificate store (EASY), it seems that you need to restart JDE for the new certificate to be loaded - so a complete JAS outage.  

Extra for experts - every with out ephemeral POD servers, which load the latest certificate and import that into the certificate store - we still need to restart JDE or trigger a replacement of all of the servers to allow new logins to use the new Azure certificate.

Note that the certificate roll can happen at ANY time.

The native solution cannot work - might be time to talk to us about myAccess? https://fusion5.com.au/jd-edwards/myaccess/
