2. Enter a name for the key and choose the desired duration.

Configuring Reply URLs

1. Next, you need to ensure that your Auth0 callback URL is listed in allowed reply URLs for the created application.
2. Navigate to Azure Active Directory, then Apps registrations and select the Perimeter 81 app. Then select Authentication, go to Redirect URLs and add the following link:

5. For the Client Secret use the value that was shown for the key when you created it in the previous step.
6. Under Domain set the name of the Microsoft Azure AD Domain and under Domain Aliases insert any email domain that corresponds to the connection.
7. Select Done.
