How to generate Azure AD ID token using username and password from postman


My team is using Azure AD to authenticate the user and is sending the ID token generated to all WEB API calls. I want to test the WEB API separately and for that, I want to generate the ID Token from Azure AD using the Postman. I have the username and password of the user. What is the best way to implement that?

I don't want to go for service principal as it doesn't satisfy our claims needs.

    Postman configuration to generate the Access Token is as shown in the screenshot:
