Configure P2S VPN Gateway for Microsoft Entra ID authentication – manually registered app

This article helps you configure your Microsoft Entra tenant and point-to-site (P2S) VPN Gateway settings for Microsoft Entra ID authentication. For more information about point-to-site protocols and authentication, see About VPN Gateway point-to-site VPN. To authenticate using Microsoft Entra ID authentication, you must include the OpenVPN tunnel type in your point-to-site configuration.

[!INCLUDE OpenVPN note]

Prerequisites

The steps in this article require a Microsoft Entra tenant. If you don't have a Microsoft Entra tenant, you can create one using the steps in the Create a new tenant article. Note the following fields when creating your directory:

• Organizational name
• Initial domain name

If you already have an existing P2S gateway, the steps in this article help you configure the gateway for Microsoft Entra ID authentication. You can also create a new VPN gateway. The link to create a new gateway is included in this article.

Create Microsoft Entra tenant users

1. Create two accounts in the newly created Microsoft Entra tenant. For steps, see Add or delete a new user.

   • Global administrator account
   • User account

   The global administrator account will be used to grant consent to the Azure VPN app registration. The user account can be used to test OpenVPN authentication.

2. Assign one of the accounts the Global administrator role. For steps, see Assign administrator and non-administrator roles to users with Microsoft Entra ID.

Authorize the Azure VPN application

Important

[!INCLUDE Entra ID note for portal pages]

1. Locate the tenant ID of the directory that you want to use for authentication. It's listed in the properties section of the Active Directory page. For help with finding your tenant ID, see How to find your Microsoft Entra tenant ID.

2. If you don't already have a functioning point-to-site environment, follow the instruction to create one. See Create a point-to-site VPN to create and configure a point-to-site VPN gateway. When you create a VPN gateway, the Basic SKU isn't supported for OpenVPN.

3. Go to the virtual network gateway. In the left pane, click Point-to-site configuration.
