Register your application with your AD tenant

First, you will need to register your application with your Active Directory tenant. This will give you a client ID for your application, as well as enable it to receive tokens.

  • Sign into the Azure Management Portal.

  • In the left hand navigation pane, click on Active Directory.

  • Select a tenant in which to register the application.

  • Click on the Applications tab, and click Add in the bottom drawer.

  • Follow the prompts and create a new application. It doesn't matter if it is a web application or a native application for this tutorial, but if you'd like specific examples for web applications or native applications, check out our quickstarts here.

  • 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. The App ID URI is a unique identifier for your application. The convention is to use https://<tenant-domain>/<app-name>, e.g. https://contoso.onmicrosoft.com/my-first-aad-app

  • For Native Applications, provide a Redirect URI, which Azure AD will use to return token responses. Enter a value specific to your application, .e.g http://MyFirstAADApp

  • Once you've completed registration, AAD will assign your application a unique client identifier. You will need this value in the next sections, so copy it in the Configure tab of your application.
