Register your application with your Azure Active Directory tenant

You can use the Azure portal to register your application with your Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant. This creates an Application ID for the application, and enables it to receive tokens.

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal.
  2. Choose your Azure AD tenant by selecting your account in the top right corner of the page.
  3. In the left-hand navigation pane, choose More Services, click App Registrations, and click Add.
  4. Follow the prompts and create a new application. If you'd like specific examples for web applications or native applications, check out our quickstarts.
  • For Web Applications, provide the Sign-On URL, which is the base URL of your app, where users can sign in e.g http://localhost:12345.
">https://contoso.onmicrosoft.com/my-first-aad-app`-->
  • For Native Applications, provide a Redirect URI, which Azure AD uses to return token responses. Enter a value specific to your application, .e.g http://MyFirstAADApp
  1. Once you've completed registration, Azure AD assigns your application a unique client identifier, the Application ID.

Update application settings from the Azure portal

You can easily modify an existing application's settings using the Azure portal. For example, you may want to configure a reply URL, which is where Azure AD issues token responses. You may also want to configure permissions to other applications, for instance to allow your application to access the MS Graph API. You can do all this through the application settings page.

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal.
  2. Choose your Azure AD tenant by selecting your account in the top right corner of the page.
  3. In the left-hand navigation pane, choose More Services, click App Registrations, and choose your application from the list.
  4. Click Settings to open up the settings page for the application.
  • The Properties page lets you modify the general information for the application. This includes the application name, the sign-on URL, and the logout URL.
  • The Reply URLs page allows you to add a reply URL, which is where Azure AD sends token responses.
  • The Owners page allows you to add application owners.
  • The Permissions page allows you to configure permissions for the app. For example, to access the MS Graph API, click Add and select Microsoft Graph in the API selector, then choose the permission required, for example Read Directory Data.
  • The Keys page allows you to add application secrets. The secret will only be displayed once immediately after creation, so make sure to copy it for further use.

Use the inline manifest editor

You can use the inline manifest editor to modify certain application properties that are not exposed directly in the Azure portal. For example, you can use it to modify the application's App ID URI or to enable the OAuth2.0 implicit flow instead of the default authorization grant code flow.

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal.
  2. Choose your Azure AD tenant by selecting your account in the top right corner of the page.
  3. In the left-hand navigation pane, choose More Services, click App Registrations, and choose your application from the list.
  4. Click Manifest from the application page to open the inline manifest editor.
  5. You can directly make changes to the manifest and save it when you're ready. Alternatively, you can download the manifest to open it in your favorite editor and upload the updated manifest.
