Creating Microsoft Entra ID Application for REST Client

To log in to the device through REST API, you need to create a Microsoft Entra ID Application that represents your REST client and grant this application access to the Microsoft Entra ID Application that represents device.

➢

To create a Microsoft Entra ID Application for REST client:

1.

Sign in to the Azure portal using your organization's Microsoft account.

2.

If your account gives you access to more than one tenant, click the Directories + subscriptions filter icon on the toolbar to select the tenant in which you want to register an application.

3.

From the Navigation pane, select App registrations, and then click New registration.

4.

Under the Name group, enter a meaningful name for the application (e.g., "My REST Client"), leave 'Redirect URI' empty, and then click Register.

5.

From the Navigation menu, select Overview, and then make a note of the 'Application (client) ID' and 'Directory (tenant) ID' values; you will need them later.

6.

From the Navigation pane, select Certificates & secrets, and then click New client secret.

7.

Enter a description for the new secret, select the expiration time, and then click Add.

8.

Copy the value of the generated client secret and store it for future use.

9.

From the Navigation pane, select API permissions, and then click Add a permission to add new permission.

10.

Click the My APIs tab, and then select the Azure application that represents the device (e.g., "SBC Manager"):

11.

Select Application permissions, choose an appropriate role (e.g. , Administrator), and then click Add permissions.

12.

Request from your Microsoft Entra ID administrator to grant admin consent to your app permissions.

13.

Wait until your Microsoft Entra ID administrator completes the task and then verify that the status of your application permissions changes to "Granted".
