Configure an app to trust an external identity provider

Choose an option

This article describes how to manage a federated identity credential on an application in Microsoft Entra ID. The federated identity credential creates a trust relationship between an application and an external identity provider (IdP).

You can then configure an external software workload to exchange a token from the external IdP for an access token from Microsoft identity platform. The external workload can access Microsoft Entra protected resources without needing to manage secrets (in supported scenarios). To learn more about the token exchange workflow, read about workload identity federation.

In this article, you learn how to create, list, and delete federated identity credentials on an application in Microsoft Entra ID.

Important considerations and restrictions

To create, update, or delete a federated identity credential, the account performing the action must have the Application Administrator, Application Developer, Cloud Application Administrator, or Application Owner role. The microsoft.directory/applications/credentials/update permission is required to update a federated identity credential.

A maximum of 20 federated identity credentials can be added to an application or user-assigned managed identity.

When you configure a federated identity credential, there are several important pieces of information to provide:

  • issuer and subject are the key pieces of information needed to set up the trust relationship. The combination of issuer and subject must be unique on the app. When the external software workload requests Microsoft identity platform to exchange the external token for an access token, the issuer and subject values of the federated identity credential are checked against the issuer and subject claims provided in the external token. If that validation check passes, Microsoft identity platform issues an access token to the external software workload.

  • issuer is the URL of the external identity provider and must match the issuer claim of the external token being exchanged. Required. If the issuer claim has leading or trailing whitespace in the value, the token exchange is blocked. This field has a character limit of 600 characters.

  • subject is the identifier of the external software workload and must match the sub (subject) claim of the external token being exchanged. subject has no fixed format, as each IdP uses their own - sometimes a GUID, sometimes a colon delimited identifier, sometimes arbitrary strings. This field has a character limit of 600 characters.

    Important

    The subject setting values must exactly match the configuration on the GitHub workflow configuration. Otherwise, Microsoft identity platform will look at the incoming external token and reject the exchange for an access token. You won't get an error, the exchange fails without error.

    Important

    If you accidentally add the incorrect external workload information in the subject setting the federated identity credential is created successfully without error. The error does not become apparent until the token exchange fails.

  • audiences lists the audiences that can appear in the external token. Required. You must add a single audience value, which has a limit of 600 characters. The recommended value is "api://AzureADTokenExchange". It says what Microsoft identity platform must accept in the aud claim in the incoming token.

  • name is the unique identifier for the federated identity credential. Required. This field has a character limit of 3-120 characters and must be URL friendly. Alphanumeric, dash, or underscore characters are supported, the first character must be alphanumeric only.  It's immutable once created.

  • description is the user-provided description of the federated identity credential. Optional. The description isn't validated or checked by Microsoft Entra ID. This field has a limit of 600 characters.

Wildcard characters aren't supported in any federated identity credential property value.
