Azure App Registration
Azure App registrations are a prerequisite for accessing the Microsoft Graph AP and for authorization and athentication.
The following describes how to create an Azure app registration.
Two values are required to configure the authentication:
- Application ID
- Tenant ID
Three values are required to connect to Intune:
- Application ID
- Tenant ID
- Client Secret
The following steps describe how to perform the app registration and generate the client secret:
Perform App Registration in Azure
- The first step is to register a new app.
- For this purpose, a name must be assigned, for example Intune Manager Auth or Intune Manager and the creation confirmed with OK.
Create Client Secret
A client secret is sensitive security information.
The client secret is only visible in plain text when it is created. Therefore, a copy should be created for further configuration.
- To create a client secret, select Add Certificate or secret in the app registration within the overview under the item Client Credentials.
- In the Client secret tab, a new client secret can be generated at any time.
- A validity period must be specified during creation and a description can be added.
If several different instances/installations are used to access the Microsoft Graph API, it is recommended to use a separate client secret for each instance/installation.
- The client secret is only visible in plain text when it is created. Therefore, a copy should be created for further configuration.
