## Adding the Azure Client ID to Helios Launcher.

In `app/assets/js/ipcconstants.js` you'll find **`AZURE_CLIENT_ID`**. Set it to your application's id.

Note: Azure Client ID is NOT a secret value and **can** be stored in git. Reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57306964/are-azure-active-directorys-tenantid-and-clientid-considered-secrets

Then relaunch your app, and login. You'll be greeted with an error message, because the app isn't whitelisted yet. Microsoft needs some activity on the app before whitelisting it. __Trying to log in before requesting whitelist is mandatory.__

## Requesting whitelisting from Microsoft

1. Ensure you have completed every step of this doc page.
2. Fill [this form](https://aka.ms/mce-reviewappid) with the required information. Remember this is a new appID for approval. You can find both the Client ID and the Tenant ID on the overview page in the Azure Portal.
3. Give Microsoft some time to review your app.
4. Once you have received Microsoft's approval, allow up to 24 hours for the changes to apply.

You can now authenticate with Microsoft through the launcher.
