Connector Improvement: Connector Improvement: Local Data Processing - OAUTH for SharePoint Online
Problem:
WebDAV access using certificates and user + password is considered insecure by both our CyberSecurity and SharePoint teams. Additionally, Microsoft has indicated a desire to deprecate this functionality.
Feature Request:
Implementation of the OAUTH Client Credential based workflow would be ideal for our use case, as the pattern of using a Client Secret and ID to generate an access token is a proven and accepted pattern at our company and would integrate well with our Azure AD authentication based workflows with enterprise apps etc.
See https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/authentication-and-authorization-flow/client-credentials-flow for details.
This could be used to leverage the Microsoft REST API for sharepoint integration outlined here:

We have no plans to enhance the LDP/HVR SharePoint connector. Please consider using the Fivetran SharePoint connector that support OAuth.
Thank you,
