Remarks¶

You can use this command to create a new Azure AD app registration either by specifying the different configuration settings through the corresponding options or by using the manifest.

If you don't use the manifest, you must specify the name of the Azure AD app registration using the name option. If you use the manifest, you can skip the name option assuming the manifest contains the displayName property.

You can also use the manifest to provision some of the configuration settings of your Azure AD app. All properties specified in the manifest are optional and will set if specified.

If you specify the manifest along with some options, values specified in the options will override settings from the manifest. One exception is the name specified in the name option which will be overriden by the displayName property from the manifest if specified.

The following properties specified in the manifest retrieved from Azure AD are not supported by this command:

accessTokenAcceptedVersion
disabledByMicrosoftStatus
errorUrl
oauth2RequirePostResponse
oauth2AllowUrlPathMatching
orgRestrictions
samlMetadataUrl

When specifying the value for the uri, you can use the _appId_ token, to include the ID of the newly generated Azure AD app registration in the Application ID URI, eg. URI api://caf406b91cd4.ngrok.io/_appId_ will become api://caf406b91cd4.ngrok.io/ab3bd119-faf7-4db5-ba99-eb7e748f778a where the last portion is the app ID of the created Azure AD app registration.

When using the withSecret option, this command will automatically generate a secret named Default and set it to expire 1 year in the future.

After creating the Azure AD app registration, this command returns the app ID and object ID of the created app registration. If you used the withSecret option, it will also return the generated secret.
