Doc Task #413281
Summary
Netwrix Auditor no longer requires certificate-based authentication or the Application.ReadWrite.All permission for Exchange Online modern authentication. The connection now uses OAuth 2.0 client credentials (client ID + client secret). This PR updates the documentation to reflect those changes.
Changes
modernauth.md
Removed Application.ReadWrite.All from the required Microsoft Graph permissions
Formatted permissions list with line breaks and indentation for readability
Fixed missing bold formatting on Directory.Read.All
permissions.md
Removed certificate creation and upload steps (previously steps 8–12) from the Non-owner Mailbox Access Audit Configuration section
Fixed broken markdown formatting on the "Grant admin consent" button label
manualconfig.md
Removed the "Configure Exchange Online Modern Authentication Manually" section, which was entirely certificate-based
Removed orphaned module installation paragraph duplicated by the section below
Removed FIPS policy bullet — no longer relevant without certificate cryptography
Cleaned up stale references to the removed section
Bolded "General Requirements" label
