What is a Microsoft 365 Tenant ID?
A Tenant ID (also known as an Azure AD Directory ID) is a globally unique identifier (GUID) used by Microsoft to identify your specific instance of Azure Active Directory (now Microsoft Entra ID). It looks like this: 8z6b1424-9b25-4x77-8y42-990a9ab592t1.
Why do you need it?
You'll typically need your Tenant ID when:
- Configuring SSO / SAML applications
- Setting up APIs that connect to Microsoft Graph
- Providing delegated admin access to an MSP (like TECHOM Systems)
- Running PowerShell scripts against your environment
- Opening complex support tickets with Microsoft
How does this tool work?
This tool pings Microsoft's public OpenID endpoints (https://login.microsoftonline.com/{domain}/.well-known/openid-configuration) which structurally returns the underlying Tenant ID in the authorization endpoints, without requiring any authentication.
