Accessing Sharepoint using client and Secret id. Is this in scope or deprecated.

Question

Hi Team,

I am working on Azure WebJob in which we will create and use CLient id and Secret.

We are following this URL:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/solution-guidance/security-apponly-azureacs

First Question: Just need to know if this approach is deprecated and for how long in future it will work.
Second Question: So If I Create Client ID and Secret for site http://www.domain.sharepoint.com/sites/ABC, any way I can make it work for http://www.domain.sharepoint.com/sites/XYZ . Or i will have to create for XYZ separately.

My requirement is just to connect with sharepoint and update Lists using Client ID and Secret instead of Passwords.

Answer

1.Yes, SharePoint App-Only (Azure ACS) will be indeed deprecated in near future as the Azure AD should be used for the app registrations.

SharePoint App-Only (Azure ACS) will stop working for new tenants as of November 1st, 2024 and it will stop working for existing tenants and will be fully retired as of April 2nd, 2026.

2.Client ID and Client Secret for each site collection is unique. So, you have to create for XYZ separately.
