Datafox App Registration

Objective

The main objective of this page is to demonstrate how to create an App Registration in Azure. This will, later on, be used to link your Datafox with Hubdrive.

Prerequisites

You are System Administrator
You have access to Microsoft Entra

Click Through

Start in the Microsoft Entra Admin Center
Under Identity, click on Applications, then go to App registrations
Click on + New registration
Give a logical name
In Supported account types select Accounts in this organizational directory only
Click on Register
Reload the page
Under Manage, click on Certificates & secrets
Go to the tab Client Secrets
Select + New Client Secret
Add a description and set the expiring date
Click on Add
Important: copy and store the secret value in a safe place
Go to API permissions and click on + Add a permission
Select Dynamics CRM
In Permission, check the box user_impersonation
Click on Add permissions
Above the table, click on Grant admin consent for DI ProdMgmt and confirm
Go back to Overview
Copy and store the Application (client) ID

Hint

The client ID and the client secret works like name and password. So the function app (which we will create later on) can authenticate and access Dynamics.
We recommend to store this information in a safe place.

Result

Below, you see a screenshot of what your page will look like after following the Click-Through.

As a next step, you need to create an App User.
