Azure Automation connecting to Exchange with MFA enforced
Chris Johnston The answer is deceptively simple....
I published a Runbook script to get you started with the initial connection, then you can add your own script form there on.

Richard_Hooper I have used the equivalent for automation, i.e. app secret for services that can accept these connection parameters e.g. PnP
$servicePrincipalConnection=Get-AutomationConnection -Name "AzureRunAsConnection"
$appsecret = Get-AutomationVariable -Name "SPAppSecret"
Connect-PnPOnline -AppId $servicePrincipalConnection.ApplicationId -AppSecret $appsecret -Url ""
I don't see where Exchange connection supports app secrets.
Would you be able to provide a working or theoretical example of how the connection to Exchange online would use an application password as you suggest please as I'm not sure how I'd do this.
could you explain how you use create and use App Secret for connecting to PnP Connect-PnPOnline
