Best way to create,store and update TokenCache in AEM

[nvssr90]

Hey, I am integrating Azure MSAL 4J with AEM as Cloud Service(Publish Instance) for SSO Authentication. To store the session for longer times I have to implement a token cache which creates a serialized_cache.json file and gets the session if this is available. here is the documentation reference I am trying to implement:

What is the best way to create/store/update this file from AEM? Is there a way we can store this in AEM runtime? any examples - Does AEM as Cloud service provide any features to store this(Environment Variables)?

Why don't you use SAML to authenticate against the Azure Directory?

we have a follow up use case to get users from different portal. so, OOTB SAML won't work for us. So, I created a custom authentication handler to get the token from there we will log on to diff system to get the permissions for the users

the AEM implementation stores the token below the users home node. Make sure that it's synced amongst the publish instances.
