Description

### What would you like to happen?

In many organizations, Microsoft's Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is widely used for authentication, license management, and group allocation. Apache Hop already provides excellent support for on-premises Active Directory using the LDAP transform. However, there is currently no direct way to connect Hop to Azure AD. As a user, I propose a new feature to enable Apache Hop to interact with Azure AD, allowing for powerful and tailored use cases.

Some features I could think of:

**Azure AD Connectivity**: Develop a set of transforms and connectors to enable Apache Hop to read information from Azure AD. This will facilitate the extraction of user-related data, such as user attributes, groups, and licenses.

**Hybrid Environment Support**: Ensure that the Azure AD integration works seamlessly with hybrid environments, where organizations use both cloud and on-premises AD. (LDAP transform works nicely with on-prem AD though).

**Write Access** (maybe not in phase 1): Extend the feature to allow Apache Hop to write to Azure AD. This capability opens up opportunities for automated user management and integration with other systems, such as Salesforce and SAP.
