Azure - Creating Credentials
You'll be asked to provide a client secret that Sevco will use to connect to Microsoft Azure AD. This will require the creation of an application in Azure in order to provide API-based access. The following steps will walk you through creating a registered application and identify the necessary values to record for configuration. (Microsoft Documentation: Tutorial: Register an app with Azure Active Directory)
Creating an Application
- Go to Azure Active Directory > App registrations*
- Create a new registration
- Give the app a user-friendly name and click
Register
- Obtain the Application (client) ID and Directory (tenant) ID for configuring the source.
NOTE: Directory ID, aka Tenant ID, can also be found in the Active Directory Properties. See How to find your Azure Active Directory tenant ID
Obtaining the proper Client Secret
- Obtain a secret by going to Certificates and secrets within the newly created/registered application
- Generate New client secret
- Give the secret a Description and expiration that follows your password rotation policy.
- Obtain (copy) the Client secret value
NOTE: Ensure to obtain the App Secret Value, not the Secret ID when configuring the plugin.
