Register the Azure App for OneDrive for Business with Azure AD

You must register the Azure app with Azure Active Directory (AD).

Important

You can perform the registration manually, as described in this topic, or you can use the custom configuration toolkit, which is available in the custom configuration option and which automates the registration process.

To improve performance and to minimize throttling, you can register a maximum of 5 Azure apps.
