Registering the OneDrive for Business Application

You must register the OneDrive for Business application with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). Azure AD manages the connection between the OneDrive for Business application and the Commvault software.

Important

To complete this procedure, you must have a thorough understanding of Azure Active Directory. Consult Microsoft documentation, such as "Azure Active Directory Documentation" (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/).

Disclaimer: This procedure is performed using the Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Web application. The Azure AD application is subject to change without notice. Consult Microsoft documentation, such as "Azure Active Directory Documentation": https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/.

Before You Begin

To complete this procedure, you need the following information:

  • Your tenant name

  • The global admin user account information

When you perform this procedure, record the following values for the OneDrive for Business application. You will use these values when you configure your Commvault environment.
