Frequently asked questions

Do I need to create the Entra ID app myself before setting up Azure in Rencore Governance?
Yes. You must manually create the Entra ID application in your tenant first. Other connectors create their app for you when you give consent, but Azure requires you to do this yourself.
What credentials do I need to provide when giving Azure consent?
You need the Tenant ID (Directory ID from your Entra ID app), Client ID (application client ID), and Client Secret Value, which you should copy when creating the Entra ID app because it only displays once.
Where in Rencore Governance do I give consent for Azure?
In Settings, go to Environment Settings. In General Settings, click the ellipses menu and select Manage consent. Then click Give Consent on Azure.
