Add an
Entra
 app and obtain its
Entra
 details for configuring modern authentication

If you want to configure
BlackBerry UEM
 to connect to
Microsoft 365
 using modern authentication, you will need to provide two app details: Application ID and Organization. When you perform these steps, the
Entra
 app ID displays in the Select members(s) section. The
Entra
 organization information displays on the
Microsoft Entra ID
 page as a property of the directory. Record these two entries for use when you configure
BlackBerry UEM
 for modern authentication in the gatekeeping profile.
