Last updated 7 months ago

Your IT Support Partner may need to assist with the following steps. ParcVu Support are not able to complete the following steps, they must be completed by you/your IT Support Partner

Set up an application in Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) for OAuth authentication

  • Supported account types: Choose who can use the app (e.g., single tenant or multi-tenant)

  • Redirect URI: Add your app’s redirect URI (e.g., https://yourapp.com/auth/callback)

Click Register.

Configure Authentication

In the app registration overview, go to Authentication.

Add Redirect URLs for web or mobile platforms

Enable Access tokens and ID tokens under Implicit grant and hybrid flows if needed.

Save changes.

Create Client Secret or Certificate

Expand Manage, under Client secrets, click + New client secret

Add a description and expiration period.

Please provide the following information to ParcVu Support via email. Our Developers will then enable oAuth for your ParcVu environment

  • Customer Name

  • Client Secret Expiry Date

It is the responsibility of the customer or IT support partner to monitor the expiry of the secret and to advise ParcVu once expired with the new secret.
