Hi, we are in a process of going online from our on-premise implementation. I configured Azure app proxy to access our web services which will remain hosted on-premise. I turned on Azure AD as security option and tested from a console app, working fine. But to authenticate I had to use Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory NuGet package. I thought those assemblies will be available in GAC on Microsoft servers, but it seems they are not. I tried to use ILMerge, but get error message from plugin registration tool that assembly could not be loaded. ILMerge is a feature I am trying to avoid anyway, so my question how could I authenticate to Azure AD from a plugin or workflow assembly?

Thanks in advance
