customAuthenticationExtension: validateAuthenticationConfiguration

Namespace: microsoft.graph

An API to check validity of the endpoint and and authentication configuration for a customAuthenticationExtension object, which can represent one of the following derived types:

• onTokenIssuanceStartCustomExtension resource type.resource type.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	❌

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	CustomAuthenticationExtension.Read.All	CustomAuthenticationExtension.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	CustomAuthenticationExtension.Read.All	CustomAuthenticationExtension.ReadWrite.All

Important

In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts, the admin must be assigned a supported Microsoft Entra role or a custom role with a supported role permission. The following least privileged roles are supported for this operation:

• Authentication Extensibility Administrator
• Application Administrator

HTTP request

To validate the endpoint and authentication configuration for a customAuthenticationExtension by its ID.

POST /identity/customAuthenticationExtensions/{customAuthenticationExtensionId}/validateAuthenticationConfiguration

To validate the endpoint and authentication configuration that's specified in the request body for a customAuthenticationExtension. The custom authentication extension object may not exist yet and you can use this endpoint to validate the configuration before creating the custom authentication extension.

POST /identity/customAuthenticationExtensions/validateAuthenticationConfiguration

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.

Request body

In the request body, supply JSON representation of the parameters.

The following table shows the parameters that can be used with this action. Supply a endpointConfiguration and authenticationConfiguration if querying at the root level. Otherwise, for a specific custom extension, do not supply a request body for this method.

Parameter	Type	Description
endpointConfiguration	customExtensionEndpointConfiguration	The HTTP endpoint for the custom authentication extension to be validated.
authenticationConfiguration	customExtensionEndpointConfiguration	The authentication configuration for the custom authenticaion extension to validate.

Response

If successful, this action returns a 200 OK response code and a authenticationConfigurationValidation in the response body.
