Azure Active Directory configuration
This configuration is done in three steps. First, you have to register a new native application in Azure AD. Then, you have to give the application the necessary permissions to access the WorkflowGen GraphQL API. Finally, you have to register the correct callback URLs that will redirect within the native application.
Step 1: Register a new native application
- 1.In the Azure portal, click App registrations in the Azure Active Directory section.
- 2.Click New registration, and fill in the properties:
- Name:
WorkflowGen CLI - Supported account types:
Accounts in this organizational directory only (Single tenant)✏️ Note: Depending on the context, you should choose the right option for your use case for the supported account type value.
- Redirect URI:
- Type:
Public client/native - Value:
http://127.0.0.1:8888/callback
✏️ Note: Port8888is defined by default; you can change it if it's already in use on your computer. - 3.Click Register at the bottom of the page.
You've now successfully registered your
WorkflowGen CLI native application in Azure Active Directory.Step 2: Grant access to the GraphQL API
- 1.Click API permissions.
- 2.In the Configured permissions section, click Add a permission.
- 3.Click My APIs, then select the
WorkflowGen GraphQL APIapplication in the list. - 4.Click Delegated permissions and check
defaultunder the Permission column. - 5.Click Add permissions.
- 6.On the API permissions page, click Grant admin consent for <your tenant name>, then click Yes.
Review the registration
Take note of the information you'll need later on:
- A client ID: This is the application (client) ID in the Overview section of your application registration.
- A tenant ID: This is the directory (tenant) ID in the Overview section of your application registration.
You'll need to give this information to the users who will be using the WorkflowGen CLI.
You've now successfully registered the WorkflowGen CLI in your Azure AD.
