What it detects

Shows Entra ID applications with expired certificates.

Why it matters

An application cannot authenticate with a certificate that has expired. If the app still relies on it, it has already stopped working. If it does not, the expired credential is clutter that hides which credentials are really in use. Check with the owner whether the app is still needed, upload a new certificate if it is, and remove the expired one.

Every Application registration that has any Registration Certificates where End date is more than 1 days ago
