Azure AD Application Setup

The Azure AD Application setup process is described below. These steps below should guide you through the entire process.

Before you begin, please note: Azure requires an SSL certificate to be installed on your site for authentication to work. You will not be able to add Azure authentication if your site cannot be reached over https.

    1. Log into the Azure Portal.
    2. Click the 'New registration' link.Azure Application - New Registration
    3. Fill out the Name - A title for your application. Your website title is a good example.

    4. Select the appropriate Supported Account Types option for your site.
    5. Fill out the Redirect URI's for your website. This should be your full Homepage URL with index.php at the end. Add the following URL (replacing yourdomain.com with your actual domain name). Redirect URIs are restricted to https and if you have other ways to access your domain (like www and non-www), add them all here, like the following:
      https://yourdomain.com/index.php
      https://www.yourdomain.com/index.php
