Hello, I'm trying to use the following in an Azure function and getting an error as below, works perfectly on my local machine but not in Azure, does anyone have any suggestions please?

Connect-PnPOnline -ClientId [ClientID] -Url $siteurl -Tenant $tenantUrl -Thumbprint [Thumbprint]

Hi @Jenny-Neal The mostly likely scenario is you haven't correctly imported the cert into the cert store for your Azure function. Did you try that?

Alternatively from what @fastlaneb wrote, you can try to upload the actual certificate to your azure function (through kudu). You can then refer to it from there:

Connect-PnPOnline  -ClientId [ClientID] `
                   -Url [Url] 
                   -Tenant [Tenant] 
                   -CertificatePath "d:\wwwroot\path\to\your\certificate.pfx" 
                   [-CertificatePassword [IfNeeded]]
