OAuth 2 Microsoft service

From MoodleDocs

Setup App In Microsoft

To setup an OAuth 2 client with Microsoft, first we need to login to the Microsoft Application Console and register a new application. Note that the application registrations portal has been deprecated for registering and managing converged applications since May 2019 and this functionality will be removed starting September 2019. We recommend that you manage your existing applications and register new applications by using the App registrations (now Generally Available) experience in the Azure portal.

Register new application

1. Choose a good name as this is what is shown to users when they are asked to approve the permissions. 2. For supported account types select 'Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Azure AD directory - Multitenant)'. 3. Choose 'Web' for redirect URI and add the callback URL. The callback URL should point to "your Moodle site URL + /admin/oauth2callback.php". If your Moodle site was available at https://lemon.edu/ the callback URL would be https://lemon.edu/admin/oauth2callback.php. It is important that your Moodle site uses https and not http. Microsoft will not allow the callback url if it is not using https.
