To interact with the Microsoft identity platform, Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) must be made aware of the application you create. This tutorial shows you how to register a single-page application (SPA) in a tenant on the Azure portal.
In this tutorial:
- Register the application in a tenant
- Add a Redirect URI to the application
- Record the application's unique identifiers
Prerequisites
- An Azure account with an active subscription. Create an account for free.
- This Azure account must have permissions to manage applications. Any of the following Azure AD roles include the required permissions:
- Application administrator
- Application developer
- Cloud application administrator
Register the application and record identifiers
To complete registration, provide the application a name, specify the supported account types, and add a redirect URI. Once registered, the application Overview pane displays the identifiers needed in the application source code.
-
Sign in to the Azure portal.
-
If access to multiple tenants is available, use the Directories + subscriptions filter
in the top menu to switch to the tenant in which to register the application. -
Search for and select Azure Active Directory.
-
Under Manage, select App registrations > New registration.
-
Enter a Name for the application, such as NewSPA1.

For Supported account types, select Accounts in this organizational directory only. For information on different account types, select the Help me choose option.
-
Under Redirect URI (optional), use the drop-down menu to select Single-page-application (SPA) and enter
http://localhost:3000into the text box. -
Select Register.
