Create a native application in your Azure active directory

If Data Hub is already installed on your Azure instance, an existing web application entry will be present. The web application allows each Data Hub user to log in with their own credentials. Create a separate native application to allow Data Hub D365 data sources to access the D365 instance on Azure, using the appropriate fixed credentials.

If you are using an on-premise installation of Data Hub, no existing web application will be present in Azure. You need to create a native application to allow Data Hub to access your D365 source data.
