   Click here to view details about the OIDC Configuration section.

   Client ID Enter the client ID of your Azure application.

   Client Secret This field is only required when the Azure application is a Web app. If you deployed a Public client/native app in Create an Application, you can leave this field blank.

   Issuer The OpenID Connect metadata document field in the Endpoints section is the provider's issuer URL suffixed with /.well-known/openid-configuration. You must remove this suffix from the OpenID Connect metadata document to get the Issuer information.

   

   Example: If OpenID Connect metadata document is https://login.microsoftonline.com/901c038b-xxxx-4259-b115-c1753c7735aa/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configuration, the Issuer is https://login.microsoftonline.com/901c038b-xxxx-4259-b115-c1753c7735aa/v2.0.

   Native Client ID This is the same as the client ID, unless configured otherwise.

   Redirect URI The default web redirect URI. This should not be changed unless configured otherwise.

   Scope The scopes used by MicroStrategy to authorize access to a user. This should not be changed unless configured otherwise.
