Authentication Setup

CIPP's API Client Management page provisions an Entra ID app registration and returns an OAuth client ID + client secret (not a long-lived Bearer token). The server exchanges these for a short-lived access token on each request using the OAuth 2.0 client-credentials flow, and caches the token until just before its expiry.

1. In CIPP, go to Settings → CIPP Settings → Integrations → CIPP-API
2. Create a new API client
3. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret — you will not be able to retrieve the secret later
4. Configure the server:

   CIPP_BASE_URL=https://cipp.yourdomain.com
   CIPP_TENANT_ID=<your-entra-tenant-id>
   CIPP_CLIENT_ID=<client-id-from-cipp>
   CIPP_CLIENT_SECRET=<client-secret-from-cipp>
   

If you already have a static Bearer token (older CIPP deployments), set CIPP_API_KEY instead and leave the OAuth variables unset. When both are provided, CIPP_API_KEY wins.
