Common configuration EntraID (Graph API)

Overview

The EntraID module is referenced and used by Fortified ID components such as valves and controls, whenever communication with Entra ID (Graph API) is performed. This document contains instructions on how to configure the EntraID module and the necessary steps in Entra ID.

Create a keystore used to authenticate with Entra ID

Create a pfx/p12 keystore to be used in this scenario.

Extract the certificate chain from the keystore file, using this guide. This should result in a certificate file that will be used later.

Create the Entra ID configuration

• Login to Entra ID as an administrator
• Select App Registrations

Configure the EntraID module

Configure the EntraID module according to the documentation, ex:

{
  "id": "entraid_1",
  "name": "EntraID",
  "config": {
    "client_id": "YOUR-CLIENT-ID",
    "tenant_id": "YOUR-TENANT-ID",
    "keystore": {
      "path": "${system.customer_home}/resources/entraid-cert.p12",
      "password": "P12-PASSWORD",
      "type": "PKCS12"
    },
    "keystore_alias": "entraid-cert",
    "keystore_password": "P12-PASSWORD"
  }
}

Make sure to refer the keystore previously created.

Replace the values for client_id and tenant_id with the values previously copied.
