To create a Windows Live App, visit the Microsoft Azure Portal.

You must be logged in to your Microsoft Azure account to access the application registration page. First, log in to your Microsoft Azure account, then follow the link above to access the App registrations page. The page should look similar to the image shown below.

To create a new application, click New Registration. Enter your application name and configure the required Redirect URI with your website URL. Then click Register to create the application, as shown in the image below.

After creating the application, you will be redirected to the Application Overview page. From this page, you can find your Client ID (Application ID).

Note: When entering your website URL, make sure it exactly matches your actual website URL. For example, if your website URL is http://www.domain.com, enter it with www. If your website URL is http://domain.com, enter it without www.

In the Redirect URI field, enter the Windows Live Callback URL provided in the plugin settings. The Redirect URI must exactly match the callback URL. If the URLs do not match, the application may not work correctly and may display an error when you or your users try to connect to the App.

Important: Microsoft requires authentication redirect URIs to use HTTPS (SSL). If you have previously registered Live SDK applications, you may also see an option to add another Live SDK application. Live SDK applications do not require SSL.

After obtaining the Client ID, go to Certificates & secrets and click New client secret to generate a client secret.

Enter a Description for the client secret and click Add, as shown in the image below.

Your Client Secret has now been generated, as shown in the image below.

Next, copy the Windows Live Client ID and Client Secret into the Windows Live App Settings section within the plugin settings page, as shown in the image below.

Important: When copying and pasting the required IDs and Keys, make sure there are no empty spaces at the beginning or end of the entries. Any extra spaces may prevent the application from working and can cause an error when you try to connect to the App.

After entering the Windows Live Client ID and Client Secret, click Save Changes on the plugin’s settings page.
