Azure Tenant ID

[Applies only to Azure] For each enterprise that purchases Azure services or any other service, Microsoft defines a 'micro' enterprise cloud with an identifier – a Tenant ID. In the 'Azure Tenant ID' field, enter this ID. It represents the 'micro' enterprise cloud: Azure.

Defining this environment is necessary for permissions.

Client ID

[Applies only to Azure] Microsoft generates a Client ID for a specific application - the OVOC, in this case - to allow the OVOC access with MS Graph API (subscription creation or call record retrieving). In the 'Client ID' field, enter the OVOC application's 'user name'.

Client Secret

[Applies only to Azure] Microsoft generates a Client ID for a specific application - the OVOC, in this case - to allow the application access with a graph API. In the field, define the shared secret - the 'password' - to allow the OVOC application access to the specific 'micro' enterprise cloud. Must be cryptically strong. The OVOC will then be capable of accessing Azure.
