    Thanks for your answer.

    I am new to this topic and know very little.

    Could you explain to me why this method is safe or share documentation that clarifies why it is safe?

    Hi Jose,

    It is the method used by MS in several systems. Specifically for SP you can find out more information on

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/general-development/claims-based-identity-in-sharepoint

    As you can see in the article the method use STS to provide a token. I think that is secure but i'm not a security expert.
