Create an App Service for the Exchange Online Microservice

EmpowerID uses the Exchange Online microservice to make API calls to your Azure tenant in response to your actions in EmpowerID. In order for the microservice to make these calls, an App Service for the application must first be created in Azure.

Create an App Service

1. Log in to your Azure portal as a user with the necessary permissions to create an App Service.

2. In Azure, navigate to App Services and click Add.

3. Under Project Details, select a Subscription and create a new Resource Group for the App Service.

4. Under Instance Details, do the following:

   • Name — Enter a name for the Web App.

   • Publish — Select Code.

   • Runtime Stack — Select ASP.NET V4.8.

   • Operating System — Select Windows.

   • Region — Select the appropriate region.

5. Click Review + Create.
   
   

   Open

   

    

6. Click Create.

7. After the deployment of the App Service completes, click Go to resource.

8. Change the platform for the App Service to 64 Bit by doing the following:

   1. On the App Service navbar, under Settings, click Configuration.

   2. On the Configuration blade, select the General settings tab.

   3. Under Platform settings, change the Platform to 64 Bit and click Save.
      
      

      Open

      

       

   4. Click Continue to confirm you want to save the changes.

9. On the App Service blade, copy the URL. You will need this when you configure Exchange Online App Service Authentication.
   
   

    

Now that you have created the App Service, the next step is to configure Exchange Online App Service Authentication.
