How to configure Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) for the Texada Identity Service (TIS).
In This Article
Introduction
The following article describes the process of configuring Microsoft Entra ID for integration with the Texada Identity Service (TIS). This process involves making several configurations via the Microsoft Entra ID portal, and then providing Texada with the information it needs to complete the integration.
Before starting the configuration process, please contact Texada support and inform them of your intent to migrate to TIS. This will allow Texada to complete our configurations in a timely manner as well as provide assistance throughout the transition process.
This guide has two versions: one for existing Entra ID customers and one for new customers. Click the button that corresponds to your organization to jump to that section.
If you have any questions about this process, please do not hesitate to contact Texada support.
For Existing Entra ID Users
If your organization already uses Microsoft Entra ID to manage user accounts for Texada products, follow the steps below to complete the TIS configuration.
Open the Texada Application
The service previously known as the Azure Active Directory is now called Microsoft Entra ID.
- Log in to Microsoft Azure (https://portal.azure.com) with an account that has permission to manage Azure Active Directory.
- Find Microsoft Entra ID from the left menu or from All Services.
- Select App registrations under Manage in the left navigation panel.
- Locate and open your existing Texada application.
Configure Redirect URIs
When completing this step, DO NOT delete your existing URIs until the TIS migration is completely finished! Deleting the old URIs prematurely will cause your existing connection to Texada to be lost.
- Select Authentication from the left navigation menu.
- Click the “Add URI” button, then add your login callback URIs. These will change depending on your organization’s region:
- North America:
- https://us-auth0.texadasoftware.com
- https://us-auth0.texadasoftware.com/login/callback

For New Entra ID Customers
If you are configuring Microsoft Entra ID with Texada for the first time, follow the steps below.
Create a New Application
The service previously known as the Azure Active Directory is now called Microsoft Entra ID.
- Log in to Microsoft Azure (https://portal.azure.com) with an account that has permission to manage Azure Active Directory.
- Find Microsoft Entra ID from the left menu or from All Services.
- Select App registrations under Manage in the left navigation panel. Click the “+ New registration” button to add a new application.
- Make the following changes to the Register an application screen:
- Choose and enter a name for the application (e.g. “Texada”).
- Under the Redirect URI section, select Web as the Platform.
- Enter your Redirect URI. This will change depending on your organization’s region:
- North America: https://us-auth0.texadasoftware.com
- Europe: https://eu-auth0.texadasoftware.com
- APAC: https://au-auth0.texadasoftware.com
- Click “Register” to save your changes.
Configure Permissions
- Select API permissions from the left navigation menu.
- Click the “Add a permission” button, then select Microsoft Graph.

Create Client Secret
- Select Certificates & secrets from the left navigation menu, then click the “+ New client secret” button.
- Enter a description for the key, choose the desired expiry, and click Add.
- After saving, the key value will be displayed. Make sure to record the key value and expiration date before leaving this screen; otherwise, you may need to create a new key. You will need to send this information to Texada once configurations are complete; see “Provide Information to Texada Software” for more information.
We also recommend recording the expiration date in your own calendar, as you will need to renew the key before that date.
