Overview

Snaps in the Microsoft OneDrive Snap Pack require a Dynamic, User, or Application account to access the resources in Azure. For the accounts to authorize successfully, ensure to create and configure an application corresponding to the account as displayed in the workflow.

You must complete steps one to three in the Azure Portal and the remaining steps in the Snap account (SnapLogic®Platform).

Prerequisites

Key Steps in the Workflow

Create an Application in the Azure Portal

  1. Log in to the Microsoft Azure Portal.

  2. Navigate to Azure services > Microsoft Entra ID.

  3. Navigate to Add > App registration.

  4. On the Register an application page, specify the name for registering the application and click Register. Learn more about creating an application at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/quickstart-register-app.

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. The details of the registered application are displayed in the search list.

Define Permissions

The OneDrive Online Snap Pack supports the following three types of accounts:

The permissions for the registered application are either Delegated or Application permissions based on the account types. Select Delegated permissions for User Accounts and Application permissions for Application Accounts.

  1. On the navigation panel, navigate to Manage, and select API permissions > Add a permission.

  2. On the Request API permissions window, select Microsoft Graph > Delegated permissions for the User account and Application permissions for the OAuth2 Application Account.

  3. Select the permissions from Files, Users, and Teams. Choose the minimum API permissions listed under Scopes and Permissions required for the Microsoft OneDrive.

  4. Click Add Permissions. View all the permissions added under Configured permissions.

    2. Select Web and specify the Redirect URI in the following format: 
      https://<control-plane-name>.snaplogic.com/api/1/rest/admin/oauth2callback/<snap-pack-name>
      where the <control-plane-name> corresponds to the domain part of your SnapLogic URL—elastic (global control plane) or emea (EMEA control plane).
      For example:
      https://emea.snaplogic.com/api/1/rest/admin/oauth2callback/onedrive
      https://elastic.snaplogic.com/api/1/rest/admin/oauth2callback/onedrive

    3. click Configure. A popup message displays indicating that the application is successfully updated.

7. On the Platform configurations page, click Save. The Redirect URIs are added to the application.

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

  1. On the application page, under Essentials, note the Application (client) ID and Directory (tenant) ID needed for the Snap account

2. In the left navigation panel, select Manage > Certificates & secrets.

3. On the Certificates & secrets page, click + New client secret.

4. 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.
