Hello,

There is an article regarding Modern Authentication https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/enterprise/hybrid-modern-auth-overview.

A quote:
"Authentication methods: Multi-factor authentication (MFA); smart card authentication; client certificate-based authentication".

So, the new module works with MFA. Certificate Based Authentication is to be realized. But do smart cards work with the new module?

Thnaks in advance!

    Any method that can be used to obtain a valid token should work. In this case, you will have to be redirected to an on-premises AD FS server or third-party solution, since Azure AD doesn't support directly authenticating users via smart cards (with the exception of ActiveSync, which is again handled as "proxy" scenario).
