Creating an API Application in Azure

To enable token-based authentication between Microsoft Teams and IdentityIQ, you must create an API application in Azure, then use some of the values from the API application within IdentityIQ, to enable authentication. For related information about what to configure in IdentityIQ for token-based authentication, see Configuring API Authentication for Microsoft Teams in IdentityIQCreating an API Application in Azure

To create the API Application in Azure:

  1. Navigate to your Azure Active Directory home.

  2. In the left navigation, click App registrations.

  3. Click New Registration.

  4. Enter a Name for your application. When creating applications, it's a good idea to name them according to function; for example, IdentityIQ API.

  5. Under Supported account types, choose the Multitenant option.

  6. Click Register

  7. Once the registration process has completed, click Expose an API, in left navigation.

  8. Click Add a scope

  9. Click Save and Continue

  10. Enter a Scope name, for example, GetToken. You will use this value later when configuring API Authentication in IdentityIQ.

  11. For Who can consent? choose Admins and users

  12. Add names and descriptions for Admin consent and User consent.

  13. Make sure the state is Enabled

  14. Click Add scope to save your information

  15. Click to edit the Application ID URI, and append /identityiq/api to the end of the URI, then click Save. You will use this value later when configuring API Authentication in IdentityIQ.
