Notes
NOTE 1: To persist the settings in the sysconfig file related to Azure
Active Directive, in step 5 one would search for "AzureAD" (without
quotes) and move the three lines to within the <userSettings> block.
If there are no values for the three settings, users will have to enter
the tenant information one more time during the next ERP client
launch but then they should persist from that point forward. The three
AzureAD settings that would need to be moved to the <userSettings>
block are below as well.
<AzureADDirectoryID value="" />
<AzureADWebAppID value="" />
<AzureADNativeClientAppID value="" />
