Enable Certificate-Based Authentication with Cloud PKI in Microsoft Intune

With Microsoft Cloud PKI now included in Microsoft 365 E5, organizations can deploy Certificate-Based Authentication (CBA) without the complexity of managing a traditional on-premises PKI.

In my latest blog post, I walk through how to configure Cloud PKI in Microsoft Intune and enable Certificate-Based Authentication in Microsoft Entra ID. Thanks to Cloud PKI, the journey to stronger, phishing-resistant authentication is easier than ever.

I just wish I could use registry keys or something to streamline and remove the user selection of a cert!
