PostMan Collection

To make it easy to view the API requests needed and ensure everything is configured correctly a postman collection is included.

Import the Postman collection file (v2.1) into Postman App. A full guide on how to import can be found on the Postman site.

Edit the collection and navigate to the Variables tab. Enter the tenantId and clientId and select 'Udpate'. Once this is done you can run each request in the collection in order.

Node App Installation and Setup

1. To run this sample rename config.sample.json to config.json
2. Enter the tenantId and clientId in to the config.json
3. Run npm install
4. Run npm start

The app will request you enter a device code into the MS website then once complete will display the users name.
