Create An Application in Azure Active Directory.#

This example uses Azure Active Directory as the identity provider, but the same can be done with any identity provider supporting OAuth2.

Configure your identity provider.#

To use OAuth2 in hopsworks you first need to create and configure an OAuth client in your identity provider. We will take the example of Azure AD for the remaining of this documentation, but equivalent steps can be taken on other identity providers.

Navigate to the Microsoft Azure Portal and authenticate. Navigate to Azure Active Directory. Click on App Registrations. Click on New Registration.
