Configure the credentials On this page EntraCP connects to your Entra ID tenant using the credentials defined in the app registration you registered, and supports using either a client secret or a client certificate.
Prerequisites# Add a new tenant# The tenant can be added from the EntraCP global configuration page in the central administration, or using PowerShell:
Add-Type -AssemblyName "Yvand.EntraCP, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=65dc6b5903b51636"
$config = [ Yvand.EntraClaimsProvider.EntraCP ]:: GetConfiguration ()
$settings = $config . Settings
# Add a tenant using a client secret
$tenant = New-Object "Yvand.EntraClaimsProvider.Configuration.EntraIDTenant"
$tenant . Name = "TENANTNAME.onmicrosoft.com"
$tenant . SetCredentials ( "clientId" , "clientSecret" )
$settings . EntraIDTenants . Add ( $tenant )
$config . ApplySettings ( $settings , $true )
# Add a tenant using a client certificate
$tenant = New-Object "Yvand.EntraClaimsProvider.Configuration.EntraIDTenant"
$tenant . Name = "TENANTNAME.onmicrosoft.com"
$certificateFilePath = "pfxCertificateFilePath"
$certificatePassword = "pfxCertificatePassword"
$tenant . SetCredentials ( "clientId" , $certificateFilePath , $certificatePassword )
$settings . EntraIDTenants . Add ( $tenant )
$config . ApplySettings ( $settings , $true )
# Commit the configuration to the database
$config . Update ( $true )
Update the credentials of a tenant# The EntraCP administration pages do not have a direct way to update the credentials, but it can be done by deleteding and re-adding the tenant with the new credentials. However, this can be achieved using PowerShell:
Set a new client secret# Add-Type -AssemblyName "Yvand.EntraCP, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=65dc6b5903b51636"
$config = [ Yvand.EntraClaimsProvider.EntraCP ]:: GetConfiguration ()
$config . UpdateTenantCredentials ( "tenantNameToUpdate" , "newClientSecret" )
$config . Update ( $true )
Set a new client certificate# Add-Type -AssemblyName "Yvand.EntraCP, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=65dc6b5903b51636"
$config = [ Yvand.EntraClaimsProvider.EntraCP ]:: GetConfiguration ()
$newCertificatePath = "C:\YvanData\config\certs\azurecp.aadcert.pfx"
$newCertificatePassword = "certicicatePassword"
$config . UpdateTenantCredentials ( "tenantNameToUpdate" , $newCertificatePath , $newCertificatePassword )
$config . Update ( $true )
