To create a Microsoft Entra app registration and configure OAuth 2.0, you need to provision a new application, assign API permissions, and set up redirect URIs or client credentials. This process applies to web, mobile, and daemon apps requiring Azure AD authentication.

The best way to set up Azure AD authentication for a .NET console tool is to provision an Entra app registration, add required Microsoft Graph API permissions, and generate a client secret. This provides the necessary client credentials for daemon authentication.

Yes, you can configure app registrations and client secrets using Azure CLI instead of the portal. The setup supports both portal and CLI based workflows for creating the app, managing permissions, and handling authentication configuration end-to-end.

For SPA and mobile apps in Azure AD, you need to configure specific redirect URIs and handle client credentials appropriately. The setup provides distinct authentication patterns for web, SPA, mobile, and daemon apps, including redirect URI setup and certificate handling.

To apply least-privilege permissions and admin consent workflows for an Entra app, you assign only the necessary API permissions during registration and follow security best practices for secret handling. This ensures secure access without overexposing directory data.
