# Integrating Azure AD

## What You Need to Integrate {{variable.AzureAD}}
All you need is a Microsoft Azure account.

## Step 1. Get Your Redirect URL
The first step of the integration process is to find and copy your redirect URL on the {{variable.AdminPanel}}.

1. {{snippet.FirstStepProcedure}}

2. {{snippet.AzureAD_Path}}
3. Enable the **Azure Active Directory** toggle.
4. Copy the **Redirect URI** and save it somewhere.

## Step 2. Register your Application in {{variable.AzureAD}}
The second step of the integration process is to create an application dedicated to Nexudus user login in your Azure account. 

1. Open your Azure portal at [portal.azure.com](https://portal.azure.com/){target="_blank"}. 

2. Select the **Azure Active Directory** module.

3. Click ** App registrations** in the navigation menu and then click **+ New Registration**.

4. Name your application. 

*We recommend using a clear name such as **Nexudus Login + Your location/network name**. For example, **Nexudus Login Kalkio Spaces**.*
:::(Info) (Running multiple locations?)
You only need to create one application for your network as long as all your users log in against the same Azure Directory.
:::

4. Add the **Return URL**  you've saved during Step 1 and complete the registration form as follows:

5. Once you've created the application, copy the **Application (client) ID** and the **Directory (tenant) ID** and save them somewhere.

6. Click Certificates and Secrets  in the navigation menu and then click on the **Client Secret** tab.

 7. Click **New client secret**.

 8. Name your secret and set an expiration period. 
:::(Warning) (You need to create a new secret once this one expires and update your Nexudus settings accordingly.)
Azure will send you a reminder before the secret expires, but we strongly recommend you to also set your own reminder in your calendar. 

**If the secret expires before your update, your users won't be able to log in to the Members Portal.**
:::
9. Copy **Value** of your client secret (not the ID) and save it somewhere.

*You will need this value in the next step.*
:::(error) (Treat your secret as you would any other password and make sure you save it somewhere safe.)
:::

## Step 3. Enabling the {{variable.AzureAD}} Integration in Nexudus
The last step of the integration is enabling {{variable.AzureAD}} {{variable.OnTheAdminPanel}}. Make sure you have the following details from previous steps handy to complete the process: 

* Your {{variable.AzureAD}} **Directory (tenant)** and **Application (client)** IDs
* Your {{variable.AzureAD}} **client secret**


1. {{snippet.FirstStepProcedure}}

2. {{snippet.AzureAD_Path}}

3. Enable the **Azure Active Directory integration** toggle.
4. Enable the **Create new users in Nexudus if they don't exist toggle** if you want to automatically register users without an existing customer account as contacts in Nexudus.
5. Enable the **Prevent users from using their Nexudus password to log in** if you want customers to only be able to use Azure AD to log in to their account.
:::(Info) (Enabling this option will automatically redirect users to Azure AD when they click on your Members Portal login page.)
:::
7. Add your {{variable.AzureAD}} **Directory (tenant) ID** in the **Tenant ID** field.
8. Add your {{variable.AzureAD}}   **Application (client) ID** in the **Client ID** field.

9. Add your {{variable.AzureAD}} application's client secret in the **Client Secret** field. 
10. Add the text you want to display to customers on the Members Portal in the **Sign in button label**. 

*The default text is **Sign in with Corporate Account**.*

10. {{snippet.Save_Changes}}

All set! You've completed your {{variable.AzureAD}} integration. We recommend testing the integration with a dummy customer account to ensure everything is working properly.
