Application Registration

Steps to Register an Application in Azure AD and Obtain Client ID and Client Secret:

1. Navigate to Azure Active Directory

   • In the left-hand menu, select Azure Active Directory. If it's not visible, you can search for it using the search bar.

2. Access App Registrations:

   • In the Azure Active Directory pane under Manage, select App registrations.

3. Register a New Application:

   • Click on + New registration at the top of the page.

4. Fill in Application Details:

   • Name: Enter a name for your application. This name will be used to identify your application in Azure AD.

   • Supported account types: Choose the type of accounts that can use this application. For most cases, you can select Accounts in this organizational directory only (Single tenant).

   • Redirect URI (optional): Enter a redirect URI if your application requires it (e.g., for OAuth2 authentication). For now, this can be left empty or filled based on your application needs.

5. Complete Registration:

   • Click Register to create the application.

6. Obtain the Application (Client) ID:

   • After registration, you will be redirected to the application's overview page. Here, you will find the Application (client) ID. Copy this value; it is used to identify your application.

7. Create a Client Secret:

   • In the application’s settings, select Certificates & secrets from the left-hand menu.

   • Under the Client secrets section, click + New client secret.

   • Description: Enter a description for the client secret (e.g., "My App Secret").

   • Expires: Select an expiration period for the secret (e.g., 1 year, 2 years, or never).

   • Click Add to create the secret.

   • Important: Copy the value of the client secret immediately after creating it. This is your Client Secret. You will not be able to retrieve it again from the portal.
