Description

Is it possible to use Client ID and Client Secret from an App registration in your AAD environment to authenticate in storage explorer? I want to test the permissions I've set up for this application to make sure it's good to go.

Start by examining Storage Explorer's existing Azure authentication flow and how it handles credentials. Determine whether App Registration client ID and client secret authentication is supported, then validate access against the configured storage permissions; done means the requested application can sign in and exercise those permissions.
