This task is for users with the OC System Administrator role.
Microsoft Azure Active Directory is an external user Management system. You can connect with and set it up to manage users and enable single sign-on for admins, Intranet users, and password-protected subsites.
You need several connection items to connect your accounts, including the Client Secret. Microsoft limits the lifetime of client secrets to two years, so occasionally, you will need to generate a new Client Secret.
To change the Client Secret, a user must access your CMS admin. If your Client Secret has expired, you need a locally managed user to update it. We recommend keeping an admin account local, with a secure password, for emergency troubleshooting.
Once you have generated a new Client Secret, record the value, as you will need to update the module.
- From the main menu, go to More > External User Management.
- Select Azure AD and go to the Connector Settings tab.
- Select the Change client secret link next to the Client Secret field.
- Enter the new Client Secret you got from Microsoft, but don't save it yet. Instead, select Test Connection.
- If the test is successful, select Save. If unsuccessful, choose Cancel, then double-check your Client Secret value.
Once successful, your Microsoft Entra ID account should be connected. Check out our connector setup guide if you've never connected to Microsoft Entra ID.
