PowerShell Azure Functions Multi-Tenancy query

Question

I have written a very simple Azure Function in PowerShell. I have enabled it as multi-tenant which is also fine.

If I wanted to use : connect-msolOnline for example (in the PowerShell script) to connect to an office365 service, how could I get the account that you are asked to provide when you access the API which is secured by AzureAD so I can connect to the tenancy with account given .

Being asked to log on when you hit the API is fine (as it is multi-tenancy) but getting that credential to use in the PowerShell script is the problem I am facing.

Any ideas anyone?

Looking through documentation of Connect-MsolService, it expects PSCredential. For fetching and storing the account name and password you can use App Settings or another option is using Key vault.
