Use the Express Configuration to Add Azure Apps

The express configuration uses Commvault Cloud hosted multi-tenant apps. These apps use Federated Identity Credentials (FIC) based authentication mechanism which do not need app secrets or certificates.

These multi-tenant apps provide a better security posture and is the recommended authentication method from Microsoft.
