Connect SharePoint to Dmax by registering an Azure application and configuring a cloud connector.

## Create an Azure Application

1. Open the [Azure App Registrations](https://entra.microsoft.com/#view/Microsoft_AAD_RegisteredApps/ApplicationsListBlade) page.

2. Click **New Registration**.
3. Enter a display name, select **Single tenant**, and click **Register**.

Copy the **Application (client) ID** and **Directory (tenant) ID** from the overview page — you'll need both when configuring the Dmax connector.
</Callout>

5. Go to **Certificates & secrets** and select the **Certificates** tab.
6. Generate a new certificate and key using OpenSSL:

```bash
openssl req -x509 -sha256 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout server.key -out server.crt
```

7. Upload the `server.crt` certificate to the Azure app.

5. Convert the certificate to `.pfx` format (required by Dmax):

```bash
openssl pkcs12 -export -out certificate.pfx -inkey server.key -in server.crt -legacy
