STEP 2: Retrieve authorization code

In this step you will use the information gathered in step 1 to retrieve an authorization code, required to complete the next step.

To retrieve an authorization code:

1. Copy and paste the following URL in the notepad:

   https://login.windows.net/common/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&resource=https://manage.office.com&client_id={client_id}

2. Now, replace the {client_id} value in the URL with the Application (client) ID value you saved in the previous step.

3. Open a new tab in the same browser used to log into Azure, paste the URL (with your client ID value) into the address bar, and hit ENTER.
   You’ll now see an error message and the URL in the address bar will change.

   📘Note

   The updated URL will now include your authorization code. The code is the string appearing between the code= and &.

4. Copy the updated URL from the address bar and paste it into your notepad.
