NOTE

For the most current and detailed steps, refer to the official Microsoft documentation.

Prerequisites

  1. You must have appropriate administrative permission.

Procedure

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center.
  2. To open the App Registrations page, do one of the following:
  3. Select Identity > Applications > App Registrations on the left pane.
  4. Search for the following term in the search box at the top: App Registrations.
  5. On the App Registrations page, do the following:
  6. Select New Registration.
  7. Enter a name for the application.
  8. Specify who can use the application.
  9. Under Redirect URI (Optional), select Web from the Select a Platform dropdown list, and then enter the redirect URI.
  10. Users are redirected to this path after they authenticate with the Microsoft Entra ID IdP.
  11. For format and example of a redirect URI, see Parameters for configuring a new IdP.
  12. IMPORTANT

    The /federation/iDC-{identityprovidername}/signin part of the redirect URI must match the CallBackPath value that you enter on the IdP Configuration utility during configuration (see Parameters for configuring a new IdP).

  13. Select Register.
  14. Select Identity > Overview on the left pane.
  15. From the Overview page, copy the Client ID value to a secure location for future reference.
  16. This ID uniquely identifies your application in the Microsoft identity platform.
  17. On the left pane, select Manage > Certificates & Secrets.
  18. Select Client Secrets and then do the following in the Client Secrets view:
  19. Select New Client Secret.
  20. (Optional) Enter a description.
  21. Select the expiry period.
  22. Select Add.
  23. Copy the Client Secret value to a secure location for future reference. You need this when you configure the Microsoft Entra ID as an IdP later.
  24. IMPORTANT

    Do not navigate away from this page before you copy the Client Secret value. If you do, the value becomes obfuscated and you have to generate a new Client Secret value.

  25. NOTE

    Multiple Ardia Platform nodes can connect to the same Entra ID App registration.

  26. (Optional) To connect additional Ardia Platform nodes, for each Ardia Platform node, select Manage > Authentication and then add the redirect URI.
  27. The Microsoft Entra ID IdP is ready to be configured as an external IdP in the Ardia Platform.
