Unable to import users in Cloud Hosted Environment

Dynamics 365 ERP - General

The issue of "Cannot Find Thumbprint by Certificatename" when trying to import users from EntraID/AzureAD in Cloud Hosted Environments version 10.0.37 has been identified after November 15.
Microsoft discovered a security issue in the template used for creating Cloud Hosted Environments, causing the connection for importing users from Azure AD/EntraID to be removed by default for security reasons.
To resolve the issue, users need to create a new App Registration in EntraID and generate a new Certificate in the Cloud Hosted VM using PowerShell commands.
The newly created Certificate needs to be exported and uploaded to the App Registration under Certificates and Secrets.
An Redirect URI should be added to the App Registration in the Authentication section for the Cloud Hosted Dynamics environment.
Permissions should be added to API Permissions in the App Registration and admin consent should be granted.
NETWORK SERVICE permissions should be given to use the Certificate in the Cloud Hosted VM.
Configuration keys in the web.config file of the Cloud Hosted VM should be edited, followed by running an iisreset in an elevated Command Prompt to validate the changes and try importing users.
