With Microsoft disabling basic auth in Exchange Online, I set out to add support Modern Authentication in our application. Our app sends basic email alerts. Currently we use SMTP basic auth or open relay for this, but Modern Auth would be a nice addition.

Does anyone know how to point out some documentation that I can clarify this doubt? ...

How to remove Exchange log files?
These files really eat up my storage.
My vulnerability scanner recently flagged an unsupported installation of Apache Log4j in a version of MS SQL we just recently deployed (SQL 2019). It causes two high-priority findings that I must get resolved. It seems to be, specifically, the file log4j-1.2.17.jar that is implicated.

New token-signing and token-decrypting certificates have been generated on my ADFS servers and are set as Secondary certificates. Right now, AutoCertificateRollover is set to true and CertificatePromotionThreshold is set to 5 days. If I disable AutoCertificateRollover now, would it stop the secondary certificates from being promoted to primary on the 5th day from today?

For PDF's this isn't a big deal. I have Adobe Reader installed on the RDS server and on the local machine, and ...
