Allowing Smoothwall in Azure Directory

Using Azure Directory, you need to generate a Secret, Client ID and Tenant ID so that Smoothwall can link up to the Azure instance.

There are four steps to

  1. Adding a new registration
  2. Configuring permissions
  3. Copying the Secret
  4. Copying the Client ID and Tenant ID

Make sure to note your Secret, Client ID and Tenant ID values. You will need to add them to your Smoothwall Admin Panel.
