A. Configuration in Azure Portal:

  1. Login to portal.azure.com

  5. Click Register
  6.  Within same screen: 
    •  On the API permissions page for your app, click the Add a permission button.

    • Ensure that the right permissions are checked in both cases;
    • Click the Add permissions button. 
    • You will be returned to the previous screen, and there you have to click Grant Admin Consent for .... click there. 
  7. Within same screen, From the Certificates & secrets page, in the Client secrets section, choose New client secret: 
  • Type a key description (of instance app secret), 
  • Select a key duration of either In 1 year, In 2 years, or Never Expires.
