PPPowerAppsEnvironment : hardcoded check for Certificate Thumbprint in Cert:\CurrentUser\My\

[MarcelHeek]

Details of the scenario you tried and the problem that is occurring

I use a Github workflow where I add a certificate to the Cert:\LocalMachine\My certificate store. For other workloads, like SPO, TEAMS, OD, PLANNER this works just fine, but for the PP workload it fails as it expects the certificate in the CurrentUser certificate store

Verbose logs showing the problem

Exporting Microsoft 365 configuration for Workloads: PP
Finding all resources for workload {PP} and Mode {Full}
 
Authentication methods specified:
- Service Principal with Certificate Thumbprint
 
[1/3] Extracting [PPPowerAppsEnvironment] using {CertificateThumbprint}...Cannot find path 'Cert:\CurrentUser\My\***' because it does not exist.

Suggested solution to the issue

Make it work the same as for the other workloads

This issue still exists, simply adding to currentuser 'fixes' it for now

This is coming from the PowerApps PowerShell module directly. For example, calling the Add-PowerAppsAccount cmdlet directly will throw the same error. Unfortunately it doesn't look like this requirement is documented anywhere.

I will update the Microsoft365DSC.com documentation to reflect this requirement.
