Configuration Properties

The following table describes all of the properties that you can specify for the configuration:

Configuration Property	Type	Required	Description
authority	String	X	The `authority` base URL. It should be `https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/` for a multitenant application (this is the URL for the Azure AD common endpoint, which enables users from any Azure AD tenant to sign in. For more information about the common endpoint, see this blog post.), or `https://login.microsoftonline.com/ + [YOUR_TENANT_ID]`
`clientId`	String	X	Azure Native Application ID; you can find it by selecting your Native App in Azure portal
`redirectURI`	String	X	Since usually the client app does not have an external service to redirect to, this URI is the standard placeholder for client apps; defaults to https://login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf
`resourceURI`	String	X	Azure AD Graph API service root; defaults to https://graph.windows.net
`username`	String	X	Your AD User username
`password`	String	X	Your AD User password
`domain`	String	X	Your Microsoft domain (e.g. `mycompany.onmicrosoft.com`)

Prerequisites

Obtaining an Azure AD account

Log in to https://portal.azure.com/;
Go to Azure Active Directory (in left panel);
Create a new user (with current Azure tenant domain, e.g. @mycompany.onmicrosoft.com);
Log out and log back in to https://portal.azure.com/ with that user;
Change password (it is required at first login);
Use username and new password in Azure connector configuration.

Integrate a new app with Azure Active Directory

Follow these steps to add a new application and be able to use the Azure AD capabilities.

Note: for our purpose it is important to create a Native app and give it some required permissions to manage AD Users and Groups.
About the "Redirect URI" field, you can specify something like http://localhost; it is required but we will not use it.

The required authorization must be set for the following APIs:

Microsoft Graph;
Windows Azure Active Directory.

so, after creating the application, you'll need to select it and add a new permission for both those APIs in the Required permissions menu.

Then:

In the Required permissions menu, click on Windows Azure Active Directory;
In the Enable Access menu, select all permissions from Delegated Permissions and click Save;
Finally, back to Required permissions menu, click on the Grant Permissions button.

Testing

You'll need to create the file ./src/test/resources/net/tirasa/connid/bundles/azure/oauth2.properties, with the following structure:

In case you want to test license assignment you must add the following properties:

every property must be filled with your Azure account related information.

Use the following command to run connector tests:

mvn -Pit
