Configuring Azure Active Directory App Registration

Last Updated : Oct 19, 2023 |

To connect the IP Office to Azure Active Directory, you must register an application ('app') in Azure Active Directory. During that process, Azure Active Directory assigns the app a Client ID and Client Secret. The IP Office uses those values to connect to Azure Active Directory.

In addition, IP Office connections require the customer's Tenant ID and, if setting up a connection for a specific group of users, that group's Group ID.

Before you begin

Procedure

  1. Using a user account with full administrator rights, login to Azure Active Directory at https://portal.azure.com.
  2. Search for and select Azure Active Directory.
  3. Select Overview.
  4. The Basic Information section includes the Tenant ID required for IP Office connections. Copy the value to a text file.
  5. If planning to create a connection for a particular group of users:
    1. Select Groups and locate the required group.
    2. Select the group. Select Properties.
    3. The Object ID shown next to the group name is the Group ID needed for the connection. Copy the value to the text file.
  6. Select App registrations.
    1. Click New registration.
    2. For the Display name, enter a unique descriptive name such as IPOSync.
    3. Note the displayed Application (client) ID. This is the Client ID value required by the IP Office. Copy the value to the text file.
    4. Click the link next to Client credentials.
    5. Click New client secret.
    6. Copy the Value shown (not the Secret ID) to the text file.
  7. Select API Permissions.
    1. Using the Add a permission option, add read permission for calendars and contacts. Add read all permission for the directory and groups.
  8. You now have the information required to create connections between the IP Office and Azure Active Directory.
