Azure App Registration

In order to use Azure connected data sources in AnaplanXL web there was a multi-tenant application that relied on the xlcubed.com domain.

As this is being depreciated customers are encouraged to create their own App Registration in their Azure tenant, and configure their AnaplanXL web instances to use that. This document will explain how to do that.

You need an Azure admin with permission to create an App registration to do this.

App registration

• Go to the App registrations screen and click "New registration"

• Configure basic settings
  • Give the App a name that will be meaningful to your users
  • Add a Web Redirect URI to your instance(s) of AnaplanXLWeb
    • This is the URI of your web server followeb by /SSOToken.html
    • I am using a test instance on my local machine I can reach at http://localhost/xlcubedweb so I use http://localhost/xlcubedweb/SSOToken.html.

• Authentication
  • Click Manage -> Authentication
  • Check the box for ID tokens and press Save

• Client secret
  • Click Manage -> Certificates & secrets
  • Click New client secret
  • Give the secret a name and choose the expiry
    • If the secret expires you must create a new secret and update the web configuration to use it. (This is covered later)
  • Copy the secret as you will need it later
