Support for Certificate-Based Authentication for Exchange module

Previously, the Exchange module that is relied on service account–based authentication, which required administrators to configure usernames and passwords to retrieve mailbox and device information and perform policy actions in Exchange Online.

With this enhancement, the Exchange module now supports certificate-based authentication using application credentials that are registered in Microsoft Entra ID. For more information, see Basic mode: Exchange Integration.

Defect fixes

Defect	Summary
184867	The MQTT Paho-c is upgraded to version 1.3.14 and MQTT Paho-CPP is upgraded to 1.5.3.
6981	The validation for Office 365 failed using the PowerShell version 3.7.2 in the configuration tool.
6960	The `PKIECertificates` table was inadvertently populated for all generated certificates, irrespective of their local cache status.
187956	The Realtime Action Service requests an authentication token for each IBM MaaS360 Portal API call. This behavior results in redundant token requests instead of reusing existing authentication and refresh tokens for subsequent portal API interactions.
6949	Each Lua script contains its own API call logic and authentication token retrieval logic. As a result, every script requests a new authentication token before making requests to the MaaS360 Portal, leading to an excessive number of authentication token calls.
7022	The Cloud Extender retrieves mailbox policies from Office 365 and sends the information to the MaaS360 Portal as an ActiveSync payload. During the migration from XMPP to MQTT, this payload was not transmitted, resulting in mailbox policy data not being sent to the IBM MaaS360 Portal.
