Description

Hey,

I have published an appinstaller to a custom web application and now I want to add authentication. The documentation says that this can be done by adding &msix=aad to the end of the URI. However, it does not mention how to specify the client ID, tenant ID of the app registration and the required scopes when requesting a bearer token from Azure Active Directory.

Is there a way to specify those parameters?

Start with the MSIX Authentication documentation referenced in the issue and trace how the &msix=aad URI parameter is processed. Determine whether client ID, tenant ID, and bearer-token scopes can be specified, then document the supported parameters or clearly state the limitation and expected configuration.
