Expected behavior For the package to try to create a broker.

That error ValueError: allow_broker=True is only supported in PublicClientApplication is intentional and self-explained. It is our docs that currently reuse the same inline content from the base class. Please keep this issue open, and we will see what we can do to improve the doc.

Meanwhile, please do not use allow_broker=True in your ConfidentialClientApplication.
