Setting Up the Microsoft Intune Connector
Note: Currently only a Customer (1 to 1) Connector can be established in the platform.
Tip: If you have created a Microsoft Entra Connector, you can use the same credentials for the Microsoft Intune Connector for the same customer.
Prerequisites
Before setting up the connector, ensure you have:
- A Microsoft account with Application Administrator or Higher (such as Global Admin) role permissions for your Azure tenant
Step 1: Log in to the Azure Portal
- Go to: https://portal.azure.com
- Open Microsoft Entra ID
- Select "App registrations"
- Select "New registration"
Step 2: Register the Application
- Enter the following values:
Name:
Paratira - Connector - Entra & Intune
Supported account types:
Accounts in this organizational directory only (Single tenant)
Redirect URI (Web):
https://paratira.ai
Select "Register".
Step 3: Record the Client ID
Record the following information after selecting register above, to be inputted into the Paratira Platform later.
Application (Client) ID
Step 4: Create a Client Secret
- Go to "Certificates & secrets".
- Select "New client secret".
- Choose an expiration period.
Important policy note:
Select the longest lifetime permitted by your organisation’s security policy.
When the secret expires, the connector will stop functioning until the secret is rotated, so ensure secret expiry monitoring and renewal processes are in place.
- Select "Add".
- Copy the Client Secret value immediately and store it securely. The value cannot be retrieved once you leave the page.
- You will need to input the Client Secret into the Paratira Platform later.
