# Configure Microsoft as an IdP

Once you’ve [configured federated login](/in/billing/help/settings/customer-portal-federated-login/overview.html#configure-idp) for your organizaiton. Microsoft can be configured as an Identity Provider (IdP) to authenticate users securely through their Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) accounts.

To configure federated login for Microsoft you need to create an application in Microsoft. Here’s how:

*   Log in to your Microsoft Azure account.
*   In the _home_ page, click **App registration** to register Zoho Billing as an application in Azure.
*   Click **+** **New registration.**
*   Enter a name for your application in the **Name** field.
*   Select the _Accounts in any organizational directory_ _(Any Microsoft Entra ID tenant - Multitenant) and personal Microsoft accounts(e.g Skype , Xbox)_ option.

**Insight:** This provides permission for both account types to log in, making it easier for users from both businesses and individual accounts to authenticate without restrictions.

*   In the _Redirect URL_ _(optional)_ section, select **Web** as your redirect type, paste the **Redirect URL** from Zoho Billing in the field and click **Register**.

Your new application will be registered. Now, you must create a connection between the registered app and your Zoho Billing organization to complete the federated login setup.

Here’s how you can do it:

*   Go to the _App registrations_ page, switch to _All applications_ tab.
*   Click the application you created and view its details.
*   In the _Overview_ tab, go to the _Essentials_ section, copy the client ID from **Application(client)ID.**
*   Click the text next to **Client credentials**.
*   In the _Client secrets_ tab, click **+** **New client secret**.
*   Enter a description in the **Description** field and configure its expiration from the **Expires** dropdown.

**Insight:** If the client secret expires, customers will no longer be able to log in using Microsoft. To restore access, you’ll need to generate a new client secret in the Azure portal and update it in the federated login configuration in Zoho Billing.

*   Click **Add** to generate a new client secret.
*   Copy the generated client secret under **Value**.
*   Switch back to Zoho Billing and configure the federated Login.
    *   Paste the **Application (client) ID** in the _Client ID_ field in the portal configuration page.
    *   Paste the **Value** in the _Client Secret_ field in the federated login configuration page.

Your configuration for Microsoft login will be setup, Now, when customers visit your portal, Microsoft will be an option to sign in using their Microsoft account credentials.
