In order the importing to work Client Secret key must be provided to M-Files Support for support to install it to customer server. It is good from security point of view to create such Client Secret key that expires in certain time e.g. in a year. Please remember to send the new Client Secret key to M-Files support when the old one is expiring in order the Azure AD sync not to stop working.
