  • In the Azure AD portal, select your tenant.
  • Click Add at the bottom of the page
  • Enter “TodoListService” as the name
  • Choose the "Web application or Web API" option.
  • Enter http://localhost:8888/login as the Sign-In URL
  • Enter “http://localhost:8888/” as the App ID URI and click next.

You can learn how to do that through one of the ADAL library walkthroughs.

You can now build your REST API service using the next step of the walkthrough or you can simply configure the existing server
