HTTP request
You can address the application using either its id or appId. id and appId are referred to as the Object ID and Application (Client) ID, respectively, in app registrations in the Microsoft Entra admin center.
You can also address the federated identity credential with either its id or name.
In the request body, supply only the values for properties to update. Existing properties that aren't included in the request body maintain their previous values or are recalculated based on changes to other property values.
The following table specifies the properties that can be updated.
Property
Type
Description
audiences
String collection
The audience that can appear in the issued token. For Microsoft Entra ID, set its value to api://AzureADTokenExchange. This field can only accept a single value and has a limit of 600 characters.
description
String
A user-provided description of what the federatedIdentityCredential is used for. It has a limit of 600 characters.
issuer
String
The URL of the incoming trusted issuer (Secure Token Service). Matches the issuer claim of an access token. For example, with the Customer Managed Keys scenario, Microsoft Entra ID is the issuer and a valid value would be https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenantid}/v2.0. The combination of the values of issuer and subject must be unique on the app. It has a limit of 600 characters.
subject
String
For Microsoft Entra issuer, the objectId of the servicePrincipal (can represent a managed identity) that can impersonate the app. The object associated with this GUID needs to exist in the tenant.
For all other issuers, a string with no additional validation
The combination of the values of issuer and subject must be unique on the app. It has a limit of 600 characters.
Response
If successful, this method returns a 204 No Content response code.
