Step 1: Create the new application

  1. Log into the Azure Management Portal for your Office 365 tenant.
  2. Go to the Azure Active Directory tab and select App Registrations.
  3. Select "New Application Registration".
  4. Give the application a name and keep the default selection of "Web App / API".
  5. Enter a Sign-on URL (the value of this doesn’t really matter other than being unique) and click "Create".
  6. Look for your new application on the Registered Applications list and click it.
  7. Go to Required Permissions and click on "Add".
  8. On the "Select an API" section, select the "Windows Azure Active Directory" application.
  9. On "Select Permissions", select the following "Application Permissions":
    1. Read Directory.
  10. After saving you have to click "Grant Permissions" to apply the changes.

Step 2: Get the Client ID and Secret Key

  1. To get the ClientID copy the value from Application ID in the App Properties tab.
  2. To get a new client secret key go to Keys in the Registered App menu.
  3. Add a key description and a duration.
  4. After saving you'll get the key. Store it in some place safe, because it is shown only once and won't be available after leaving the page.
