Registering a New App Principal

Five pieces of information are needed to register an app principal used by a cloud-hosted SharePoint app. Navigate to http://<SharePointWebsite>/_layouts/15/AppRegNew.aspx on the farm then:

ClientID – identifying GUID for the app. Example: b044e104-7de2-4a05-aacf-63119009c55e

Client Secret – base64 encoded string which encrypts and decrypts messages between Windows Azure Access Control Service (ACS). Example: xyZpG0AgVIJfch6ldu4dLUlcZyysmGqBRbpFDu6AfJq=.

Title – caption that appears for a registered app principal. Example: KMO Video Uploader

App URI – base URL used to access the cloud-hosted app. Example: www.kmo.name

Redirect URL – optional items for a landing page SharePoint can use for additional requests (example a callback to another site for information the app was need). Must use https:// Example: https://www.kmo.name/RedirectAccept.aspx
