You should create the Azure credential in SnapCenter to access the Azure NetApp account.

Before you begin

  • Ensure that you have created the service principal in Azure.

  • Ensure that you have the tenant ID, client ID, and secret key associated with the service principal available with you.

    • The Tenant ID can be found in the Azure Portal on the Overview page for Entra ID.

    • The Client ID is also known as the Application ID for the Enterprise App/Service Principal. This can be found in the Azure Portal on the Overview page for the Enterprise Application you've created to act as the Service Principal for SnapCenter.

    • The Client Secret Key is also known as the Secret Value. You can create this client secret in the Azure Portal by navigating to App registrations under Entra ID. After selecting the Enterprise App that you created, navigate to Certificates & secrets and then New client secret.

      Note The secret value can only be accessed when created. You cannot access it later.

    • The Service Principal needs to be granted permissions. The role of Contributor will allow the service principal to perform required actions in Azure. This can be granted from the Access Control (IAM) page within the Subscription page.
