To authorize communication between EJBCA and Intune, create an application in Azure Active Directory, following the steps below.

  1. Log in to the Azure Portal (https://portal.azure.com/).
  2. Select Azure Active Directory > App Registrations, and then click New registration.
  3. On the Register an application page, specify the following:
    • Enter a Name of the application, for example, SCEP_API_registration.

  7. Specify a Description, select any option for Expires, and then click Add to generate a value for the client secret.
  8. Take note of the new client secret value before you leave the page.
  9. Record your Tenant ID. The Tenant ID is the domain text after the @ sign in your account. For example, if your account is admin@name.onmicrosoft.com, then your tenant ID is name.onmicrosoft.com.
  10. Select API permissions under Manage and then do the following to add three separate application permissions:
    • Click Add a permission.
      • On the Request API permissions page, select Intune, and then click Application permissions.
