Add a Microsoft Entra ID site

FactoryTalk Security can reference more than one
Microsoft®
Entra ID (as known as Azure AD) applications for user authentication to support a variety of architectures. Use the
FactoryTalk Administration Console
 to configure a Microsoft Entra ID application within FactoryTalk Security allowing the system to receive Microsoft Entra ID information. If you want to use the web applications and Microsoft Entra ID authentication, you must provide a client secret from the Microsoft Entra ID App Registration when configuring the Microsoft Entra ID Authenticate Site in FactoryTalk Administration Console.
IMPORTANT:
Microsoft renamed Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) to Microsoft Entra ID.
