Registering an Application with Azure AD and Creating a Service Principal

The first step in this process is to create an identity.

To create an identity

1. Log on to your Azure account using Azure portal.

2. Click Azure Active Directory.

3. Click App registrations and then click New registration.

   

4. In the page that appears, enter the following information:

   

   1. Name: A name for the application

   2. Supported account type: The supported account type that will determine who can use the application

   3. Redirect URI: Choose Mobile or Desktop, and then enter the following URI:
      https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/nativeclient
      Important: Do NOT select Automated Application because you cannot create credentials for a Native application.

   4. Click Register when done.

5. Once you have registered your app, select it, click the Authentication tab, and scroll to Advanced Settings. Then click Yes to allow Public client flows.
   Tip: You can also perform this step before registering by selecting Redirect URIs.
   Important: If you choose this option during registration of a new application, save your changes for the Azure application.
