About this tag
App registrations in Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) are central to modern identity and access management, enabling applications to authenticate and authorize against Microsoft cloud services. Discussions on WindowsForum.com cover critical security practices such as protecting ClientId/ClientSecret pairs from exposure in configuration files like appsettings.json, which can lead to credential leaks and unauthorized access to Microsoft Graph and Azure resources. The tag also includes topics like the transition to Dedicated Hybrid Applications for Skype for Business Server hybrid deployments, third-party backup solutions for Entra ID components, and web-to-app linking via AppUriHandlers. These threads emphasize the importance of proper app registration management for security, hybrid integration, and recovery.
