SharePoint setup

Creating Azure AD app for sharepoint access

  1. Log into Azure portal and search for "Microsoft Entra ID"

  2. Under "Manage -> App registrations" create a new registration

    • Name - choose an app name for integration with SelectZero

    • Supported account types - Choose "Accounts in this organizational directory only (YourCompany only - Single tenant)"

    • Redirect URI - can be left empty

  3. Navigate to "Manage -> API Permissions"

    • Add a new permission

    • Choose "Sharepoint"

    • Choose "Application permissions"

    • From permissions list all we need is "Sites.Read.All"

    • From "Configured permissions" view you also have to "Grant admin consent for YourCompany "

  4. Navigate to "Overview"

    • Copy "Application (client) ID" and "Directory (tenant) ID" which we will need for SelectZero integration

Adding SharePoint connection

  1. From connections page add a new SharePoint connection

    Sharepoint example
    • Server - SharePoint URL with site reference

    • Folder - Folder reference (Starts with '/Shared documents')

    • Tenant id - Directory ID from previous step

    • Client id - Application ID from previous step

  2. After connection is added, certificate key pair is automatically generated

  3. Download connection public certificate from connection view

    Get public certiciate

Uploading certificate to Azure

  1. After we have downloaded our public certificate we will navigate back to Azure portal "Microsoft Entra ID"

  2. Under "Manage -> App registrations" find your app registration

  3. Navigate to "Certificates & secrets"

    • Select "Certificates" tab

    • Press "Upload certificate"

    • Upload the public certificate from SelectZero sharepoint connection

    • Description can be left empty

  4. After certificate upload you can go back to your SharePoint connection and press "Test" button to check connection (Azure side certificate upload can take a bit of time before connection is reached)

  5. If certificate is successfully added, you should see "Connection successful" message
