Configuring Microsoft Entra ID Authentication

Use Microsoft Entra ID (Azure) to authenticate users who access LicensePredictor.

Requirements

Configured Authentication Settings with Provider set to AzureAd
Microsoft Entra ID (Azure) Credentials
- Tenant ID — The directory (tenant) identifier from Microsoft Entra ID
- Client ID — The application (client) ID from your Entra app registration
- Client Secret — The secret generated for the app (store securely)

Follow these instructions to configure Microsoft Entra ID authentication.

Navigate to the LicensePredictor directory.

By default, this is located at: C:\Program Files\OpeniT\LicensePredictor
Open the appsettings.json file.

Locate the AzureAd section under Authentication in the appsettings.json file.
Configure the following settings:
- Instance — Specify the Microsoft identity platform base address. The default value is https://login.microsoftonline.com/.
- TenantId — Enter the directory (tenant) ID from Microsoft Entra ID.
- ClientId — Enter the application (client) ID from the Microsoft Entra ID app registration.
- ClientSecret — Enter the client secret generated for the registered application.
  
  Note
  The client secret is required when Microsoft Entra ID authentication is enabled. Store sensitive credentials securely using a secret store or environment override when applicable.
