To use Microsoft Entra ID as an authentication provider, you need to collect the following information:
-
Client ID: This refers to the application (client) ID from the Essentials section under Overview of the application page on the Azure Portal.
-
Endpoint: This refers to the OpenID Connect metadata document from the Endpoints section under Overview of the application page on the Azure Portal. Do not include the portion of the OpenID Connect metadata after "v2.0."
-
Client Secret: This refers to the secret value. If you did not save the value when you were creating your application, you may need to create a new secret from the Certificates & Secrets page of the Azure Portal. If the value is not being displayed, you cannot retrieve it.
Collect Microsoft Entra ID configuration information
-
Sign into the Microsoft Entra ID home page: https://portal.azure.com.
-
Select App registrations from the Resource menu.
A list of the apps that belong to you or your organization is displayed.
-
To start collecting information, select the app.
Application (client) ID is displayed under Essentials.

-
Copy and save the ID.
You require this information to configure the System Management Server.
-
Select Endpoints from the Command bar, then select the OpenID Connect metadata document.

The portion of the OpenID Connect information after "v2.0" is not used when configuring AVEVA Identity Manager. Thus, the endpoint used to configure AIM is https://login.microsoftonline.com/*******************/v2.0. The trailing slash is not needed.
-
Select Certificates & Secrets from the Command bar, then select New Client Secret.
-
Add a Description for the new client and select a time period from Expires for client secret lifespan.
-
Select Add to save the secret.

-
Once you add the secret, copy and save the secret value.
You will need the value to configure the System Management Server (the secret ID is not needed for configuration).
Note: Save the secret value after adding the secret. You will not be able to retrieve it later.
