Configure Email Marketing Service
In this section we will configure Email Marketing Service by setting the application settings.
Get the URL of the web application.
In the resource group, click on the web app. In the web app page, click the Overview link and copy the URL link for the next step. Change the link to use http:// and not https://
Add sign-on and security with Identity Service
Open the Identity Service application. Log in to the Admin section and click on the Clients link. In the 'Client Applications' page, click the Create New link
Create a new Client Application for Email Marketing Service. Click the Create button when you are done.
In the Client Applications list, click on the Secrets link to add a Client Secret for Selling Service
Create a Sign In Uri for Email Marketing Service using the URL link you copied from the previous step for the Email Marketing Service website; and add the following text to the end of the link : 'signin-oidc' .
Ensure you use 'http://' instead on 'https://' for the Sign In Uri.
Create a Sign Out Uri for Email Marketing Service by adding the following text to the end of the Email Marketing Url you copied earlier : 'signout-callback-oidc'.
Ensure you use 'http://' instead on 'https://' for the Sign Out Uri.
After you complete these steps, Sign-On and security can now be provided by Identity Service for the Selling Service application.

Selling Service requires a database to store data. In this step we will get the connection string for the database.
In the resource group, click on the database you create previously, then click on the show database connection string.
