Creating an Application Registration for Adding Azure to Commander

Title

For new users of Azure the portal interface can be challenging. There are many options and the density of information is very high. As such, it can be difficult for new users to understand where to get the information Commander needs in order to manage Azure:

Subscription ID
Tenant ID
Application ID
API Key

Graphical user interface, application Description automatically generated

Follow the procedure below to get this information out of Azure.

Login to the Azure portal at https://portal.azure.com.
In the search bar, enter "Azure Active Directory" and select the Azure Active Directory widget from the results.

Copy the Tenant ID and save it in a text file from which it will be eventually copied into Commander.

Click Enterprise applications in the navigation menu and then click New application in the main pane.
Click Create your own application. A new panel opens where you can enter the name of your application. Provide a meaningful name and click Create.

You are brought to the Overview page for the application you just created. Copy the Application ID and save it in a text file from which it will be eventually copied into Commander.

Navigate back to the Azure Active Directory widget, and select App registrations from the menu.
Choose All applications and filter the list for the application you created in the previous steps. Click the application name.

On the overview page, you'll see your Tenant and Application IDs. Confirm these match your saved values.
From the navigation menu, choose Certificates & Secrets. Click New client secret.

In the Add a client secret dialog, enter a meaningful name in the Description field, and choose when the secret expires. Click Add.
- Snow recommends using a 12 month expiry. When the secret expires, a new secret will have to be generated and the information updated on the Cloud Account in Commander.

Copy the secret's Value and save it in a text file from which it will be eventually copied into Commander. In Commander, this value is referred to as the API Key.
In the search bar, enter "Subscriptions" and select the Subscriptions widget from the results.

Select the subscription you want to add to Commander from the list. Its Overview page opens. Copy the Subscription ID and save it in a text file from which it will be eventually copied into Commander.

Click Access Control (IAM) on the navigation menu. Click Add > Add role assignment.

Select the Reader role and click Next.

Click Select members. Search for your app and select it.

Click Review+ assign.

Use the four values you copied during this process to add the cloud account in Commander .
