Register your App in Microsoft Entra ID for Exchange Online

Introduced in 2023

This article guides you through registering your application in Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory). You need this when, during integration setup in Alloy Navigator, you select Custom application registered in your Azure portal under Client. This registration enables Alloy Navigator to access your Exchange Online for processing incoming emails via the Mail Connector or for sending email notifications.

TIP: This guide works with both Microsoft Graph and EWS, but for best performance and full compatibility, we recommend using Microsoft Graph.

To register your application in Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD):

1. Go to the Microsoft Azure portal.

2. Navigate to Azure Active Directory > App registrations > + New registration and create a new app registration.

   INFO: Follow Microsoft's guide on registering applications for detailed, up-to-date instructions.

   During the registration, you will provide a name for your application and choose whether to configure it as single-tenant or multi-tenant.

3. During registration:

   • Provide a name for your application.

   • Choose whether to configure it as single-tenant or multi-tenant.

4. Configure platforms:

   1. Click + Add a platform to open the Configure platforms slideout.

   2. Select Mobile and desktop applications.

   3. In the platform settings, add the following Redirect URIs:

      • [Your Web App URL]/admin-center, for example: https://example.alloyservice.com/wp/admin-center/ or https://example.com/wp/admin-center/

      • http://localhost

5. Note down the Application (client) ID (Client ID) for later use in Alloy Navigator for integration with Exchange Online.

6. For a single-tenant application, also record the Tenant ID. If you're not sure where to find it, see Microsoft's guide on finding your tenant ID.
