This guide will show you how to prepare and how to add Azure Active Directory as an application for use with integrations from ConnectMyApps.
To do this we will need to generate the following pieces of information:
Client Id
Tenant Id
Secret
(Note: This integration requires a Connect Unlimited subscription plan. Please contact us for sales information.)
Preparations in Azure Active Directory
1) Creating "Client Id" and "Tenant Id"
Log in to your Microsoft Azure portal using an Administrator login. From “services” select “Azure Active Directory”.
If you have multiple Azure Active Directory tenants you must click “Switch tenant” to switch to the tenant you wish to integrate.
Under “App Registrations” click “New Registration”.
Enter a name for the app registration e.g. “ConnectMyApps”. Select “single tenant” as the account type. Leave the “redirect uri” blank and click the “Register” button.
Once registration is complete, go to the “Overview” page for the registration and copy the client ID and tenant ID.
2) Granting permissions
Next, while still on the “Overview” page, click the “View API permissions” button.
In the next screen click “Add Permission” and choose “Application permissions”.
Search for “User” permissions and tick the “User.ReadWrite.All” permission.
Once ticked, click the “Add Permissions” button.
Once back on the “Permissions” screen click “Grant admin permission” and check that the “Status” column shows the green “Granted” symbol.
3) Creating "Secret"
Next, from the side menu click “Certificates and secrets” and then click the “New client secret” button.
Give the secret a name e.g. “ConnectMyApps” and set the expiry to “Never”.
Next, copy the client secret that is displayed.
Important! The secret will only be displayed once, be sure to copy it before navigating away from the screen.
Adding the application in CloudManager
With the above steps completed, you should have all the necessary information needed to add Azure Active Directory as an application.
Log into ConnectMyApps.
Click Applications from the menu on the left and click “New Application”. From the list select “Azure Active Directory”.
In the authentication screen enter the values copied for “Client Id”, “Tenant Id” and “Secret”
Click “Authenticate” and wait for on-screen confirmation of a successful connection. Give your new application an appropriate name.
Done! You have now added Azure Active Directory as an application, and you can use ConnectMyApps' workflows to integrate with other applications.
