You can click on the +New client secret button and you will be asked to add the description and the timeline or the expiry for this secret key. After that you click on the create button and it will generate the random key for you.

That’s all the basic configuration you need to perform here on the Azure. No you can collect all the data you need from the azure app such as Client ID(Application ID), Tenant ID, Object ID, Enpoints O Auth and Secret Key.

Step 7:

Now we need to collect the Endpoints value from the App we registered, you need to go to your WEB-API overview page there you will Endpoints button on top. you can click on that and can store the OAuth 2.0 authorization endpoints (v2). Copy and store both authorize and token link.

Create Application User in Dynamics to access the Web-API

Click on the new button to create a new application user provide the User Name and copy the Application ID of the web-Api which we copied earlier to the application ID in user form . Once you add the Application ID, the other two fields will get auto-populated. You can save the User form now.
After creating the user in CRM , you need to provide the security role to the User as per your access need.
Whatever access the application user have in CRM, those operation can only be done using the Web-API so be sure on your requirement.

Once everything is done you can all these to start building your web-Api.
