Overview

The Snaps in the Azure Active Directory Snap Pack require an OAuth2 account to access the resources in Azure. For the OAuth2 account to authorize successfully, create, and configure an application corresponding to the account as shown in the workflow.

Steps one to three are done in the Azure Portal and the remaining steps are done in the Snap account (SnapLogic Platform).

Prerequisites

An Azure account with a free subscription to create the application.

Key Steps in the Workflow

Create an Application in the Azure Portal

Log in to the Microsoft Azure Portal.
Navigate to Azure services > Azure Active Directory.
Navigate to Add > App registration.
On the Register an application page, specify the name for registering the application and click Register. Learn more about creating an application at Quickstart: Register an app in the Microsoft identity platform - Microsoft Entra.

To use an existing application, navigate to Portal Home > Azure Active Directory > App registrations > All applications. In the search box, specify the application name you want to use. Details on the application display in the search list.

Define Permissions

On the left navigation panel, navigate to Manage, select API permissions > Add a permission.
Select Microsoft Graph > Application permissions for the OAuth2 Application Account on the Request API permissions window.
Select the permissions from Files, Users, and Teams. Choose the minimum API permissions listed under Scopes and Permissions Required for Power BI.
Click Add Permissions. View all the permissions added under Configured permissions.
Click Grant admin consent confirmation and select Yes.
Click Overview and select Add a Redirect URI. You will be redirected to the Platform configurations page.
1. Under Platform configurations, click Add a platform.
2. Select Web and specify a valid Redirect URI https://elastic.snaplogic.com/api/1/rest/admin/oauth2callback/PowerBI and click Configure. A popup message displays indicating that the application is successfully updated.
On the Platform configurations page, click Save.

Locate the Application Credentials in the Azure Portal

To authorize your account in SnapLogic, you must have the following application credentials:

Application (Client) ID
Directory (Tenant) ID
Client secret value

On the application page, under Essentials, note the Application (client) ID and Directory (tenant) ID needed for the Snap account.
In the left navigation panel, select Manage > Certificates & secrets.
On the Certificates & secrets page, click + New client secret.
In the Add a client secret window, enter the Description, select an option for Expires from the dropdown list, and click Add.
The Client secret value and ID are generated. This value and the ID are required to configure the OAuth2 account.

You can copy the Client secret value only after it is generated. Note that this value is displayed only once, so ensure to copy it securely.
