#240 - Dropping credentials from SAP Principal Propagation (Martin Pankraz) | SAP on Azure Video Podcast

In episode 240 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about the improvements in Principal propgation. Almost 2 years ago, in 2023, Microsoft kicked off the Secure Future Initiative. This meant that litterally all the services within Microsoft went through a security review and were hardend. While this certainly improved security, it also made a lot of scenario much more complicated. Where in the past you could connect to a service using basic authentication or with a simple certificate, that is no longer possible. Martin -- always looking at the positive side -- recently talked about how the "Secure Future Initiative" blocker became a differentiator for SAP with Microsoft -- and I love this. With the work that Martin and the team did we now have a really cool, secure and much easier to maintain solution to do principal propagation. I am glad that we have Martin back on our show to explain a little more about the magic that he did.
