Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Validate that the credentials are valid in the tenant.

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)	Synchronization.ReadWrite.All	Not available.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	Application.ReadWrite.OwnedBy	Synchronization.ReadWrite.All

Important

In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts, the signed-in user must be an owner or member of the group or 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.

Application Administrator
Cloud Application Administrator
Hybrid Identity Administrator - to configure Microsoft Entra Cloud Sync

HTTP request

POST /servicePrincipals/{id}/synchronization/jobs/{id}/validateCredentials

Request headers

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

Request body

In the request body, provide a JSON object with the following parameters.

Parameter	Type	Description
useSavedCredentials	Boolean	When `true`, the `credentials` parameter will be ignored and the previously saved credentials (if any) will be validated instead.
credentials	synchronizationSecretKeyStringValuePair collection	Credentials to validate. Ignored when the `useSavedCredentials` parameter is `true`.
templateId	String	Defines default settings for the provisioning configuration.

Response

If validation is successful, this method returns a 204, No Content response code. It doesn't return anything in the response body.

Example

Request

The following example shows a request.

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/servicePrincipals/{id}/synchronization/jobs/{id}/validateCredentials

Important

Microsoft Graph SDKs use the v1.0 version of the API by default, and do not support all the types, properties, and APIs available in the beta version. For details about accessing the beta API with the SDK, see Use the Microsoft Graph SDKs with the beta API.

For details about how to add the SDK to your project and create an authProvider instance, see the SDK documentation.
