Create an Application to Represent the Connector

To retrieve content from Microsoft Planner, you must create an application to represent the connector. Micro Focus recommends that you set up the application before installing the connector, because if you have the application key and application secret the installation wizard can help you to configure OAuth authentication and obtain access tokens.

To create an application to represent the connector

  1. Go to https://apps.dev.microsoft.com/ and log in.
  2. Click Add an app, then enter a name and click Create application.

    Microsoft provide an Application ID. Make note of this because you will need it to obtain OAuth tokens.

  3. Click Generate New Password.

    Microsoft provide an Application Secret. Make note of this because you will need it to obtain OAuth tokens.

  4. Click Add Platform and select Web.
  5. Enter the Redirect URI where you will run the OAuth configuration tool and click Add Url. Micro Focus recommend using https://localhost:7878/oauth, but the only requirement is that this must match the RedirectURL you provide to the OAuth configuration tool (either during the installation procedure or in oauth_tool.cfg).
  6. Update the Delegated Permissions to include tasks.read.shared, user.readbasic.all and group.read.all.
  7. Click Save.
