How to get the azure account tenant Id? - azure

My question is: Is it possible to get the azure active directory tenant id without using powershell command?

As indicated by shadowbq, the DirectoryId and TenantId both equate to the GUID representing the ActiveDirectory Tenant. Depending on context, either term may be used by Microsoft documentation and products, which can be confusing.
Assumptions
You have access to the Azure Portal
Solution
The tenant ID is tied to ActiveDirectoy in Azure
Navigate to Dashboard
Navigate to ActiveDirectory
Navigate to Manage / Properties
Copy the "Directory ID"

Go to https://login.windows.net/YOURDIRECTORYNAME.onmicrosoft.com/.well-known/openid-configuration and you'll see a bunch of URLs containing your tenant ID.

My team really got sick of trying to find the tenant ID for our O365 and Azure projects. The devs, the support team, the sales team, everyone needs it at some point and never remembers how to do it.
So we've built this small site in the same vein as whatismyip.com. Hope you find it useful!

Answer 4

In the Azure CLI (I use GNU/Linux):
$ azure login # add "-e AzureChinaCloud" if you're using Azure China
This will ask you to login via https://aka.ms/devicelogin or https://aka.ms/deviceloginchina
$ azure account show
info: Executing command account show
data: Name : BizSpark Plus
data: ID : aZZZZZZZ-YYYY-HHHH-GGGG-abcdef569123
data: State : Enabled
data: Tenant ID : 0XXXXXXX-YYYY-HHHH-GGGG-123456789123
data: Is Default : true
data: Environment : AzureCloud
data: Has Certificate : No
data: Has Access Token : Yes
data: User name : nico#XXXXXXX.onmicrosoft.com
data:
info: account show command OK
or simply:
azure account show --json | jq -r '.[0].tenantId'
or the new az:
az account show --subscription a... | jq -r '.tenantId'
az account list | jq -r '.[].tenantId'
I hope it helps

The tenant id is also present in the management console URL when you browse to the given Active Directory instance, e.g.,
https://manage.windowsazure.com/<morestuffhere>/ActiveDirectoryExtension/Directory/BD848865-BE84-4134-91C6-B415927B3AB1

Answer 6

Just to add a new method to an old (but still relevant question).
In the new portal, clicking the help icon from any screen and selecting 'Show Diagnostics' will show you a JSON document containing all your tenant information including TenantId, Tenant Name, and much, much more useful information

Via PowerShell anonymously:

Another way to get it from App registrations

Answer 10

You can run a simple curl call to get the tenant id of an azure subscription without any authentication.
make a curl call to :
https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscription-id}?api-version=2015-01-01
The request fails but you will be able to get the tenant id from the response header. The tenant id is present in line followed by "WWW-Authenticate: Bearer authorization_uri="https://login.windows.net/"
you can use curl -v to show the response header.

Answer 11

As of now (06/07/2018), an easy approach would be running az account show in the Azure Cloud Shell (requires a Storage Account) in the Azure Portal.
--- Command ---
az account show
--- Command Output ---
{
"environmentName": "AzureCloud",
"id": "{Subscription Id (GUID)}",
"isDefault": true,
"name": "{Subscription Name}",
"state": "Enabled",
"tenantId": "{Tenant Id (GUID)}",
"user": {
"cloudShellID": true,
"name": "{User email}",
"type": "user"
}
}

If you have installed Azure CLI 2.0 in your machine, you should be able to get the list of subscription that you belong to with the following command,

or you could use the Rest API

Answer 13

Use the Azure CLI
az account get-access-token --query tenant --output tsv

Answer 18

From Java:
public static String GetSubscriptionTenantId (String subscriptionId) throws ClientProtocolException, IOException
{
String tenantId = null;
String url = "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/" + subscriptionId + "?api-version=2016-01-01";
HttpClient client = HttpClientBuilder.create().build();
HttpGet request = new HttpGet(url);
HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
Header[] headers = response.getAllHeaders();
for (Header header : headers)
{
if (header.getName().equals("WWW-Authenticate"))
{
// split by '"' to get the URL, split the URL by '/' to get the ID
tenantId = header.getValue().split("\"")[1].split("/")[3];
}
}
return tenantId;
}

Answer 19

According to Microsoft:
Find your tenantID: Your tenantId can be discovered by opening the following metadata.xml document: https://login.microsoft.com/GraphDir1.onmicrosoft.com/FederationMetadata/2007-06/FederationMetadata.xml - replace "graphDir1.onMicrosoft.com", with your tenant's domain value (any domain that is owned by the tenant will work). The tenantId is a guid, that is part of the sts URL, returned in the first xml node's sts url ("EntityDescriptor"): e.g. "https://sts.windows.net/".

For AAD-B2C it is fairly simple. From Azure Portal with a B2C directory associated, go to your B2C directory (I added the "Azure AD B2C" to my portal's left menu). In the B2C directory click on "User flows (policies) directory menu item. In the policies pane click on one of your policies you previously added to select it. It should open a pane for the policy. Click "Properties". In the next pane is a section, "Token compatibility settings" which has a property "Issuer". Your AAD-B2C tenant GUID is contained in the URL.

Answer 25

The one working for me is this (after az login):
az account show |grep tenantId | awk {'print $2'} |tr -d '[:punct:]'

Answer 26

Go to the Azure portal > Azure Active Direcrory.
On the main screen, you should see your tenant ID.
