Configuring prerequisites

Since the HTTP flow that we’re going to configure doesn’t have a way to enter a traditional username and password as the authentication mechanism, we’re going to create or register a special application with the appropriate permissions. This application will be identified through the use of the client ID (essentially, the application’s user identity).

In addition, you’ll also need to configure a client secret, which is the application’s equivalent of a password. Together, the tenant information, application information, and client secret will be used to provide the necessary authentication to execute the flow.

2. Expand Entra ID and select App registrations.
