token_endpoint: <your token endpoint>
client:
id: <your application (client) id>
You can find application (client) id on App Overview page

and your endpoints by clicking on Endpoints and visiting OpenID Connect metadata document

Issue certificate
Once IdentityProvider resource is created in Aidbox, you can generate private key & certificate:
POST /IdentityProvider/azure/$rotate-credentials
content-type: text/yaml
accept: text/yaml
auth-method: asymmetric
confirm: true
# response 200 OK
# Private key & certificate are generated and saved in the IdentityProvider
Than you may download the certificate in order to upload it to Azure AD by following the link
<AIDBOX_BASE_URL>/IdentityProvider/azure/$download-certificate
Upload the certificate into Azure AD

It may take few minutes when Azure starts processing the uploaded certificate.
Log in to Aidbox
Go to your Aidbox base URL. You will be redirected to the log in page where you should now see Sign in with Azure AD
button. Press this button and log in with Azure AD user. This user will be logged in to Aidbox Console but he won’t have any permissions. Read more in Access Control Section about permissions.
