Creating a service principal

Edit online

Before you can create a Cloud Edition cluster, you must create a service principal in Microsoft™ Azure by using your Azure account.

Before you begin

This procedure must be done only once for a single Azure account. For more information and detailed instructions, see Creating a Service Principal in the Azure documentation. Ensure that your Azure account has adequate Active Directory permissions to register an application.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Microsoft Azure Portal.
  2. Select Azure Active Directory > App registrations.
  3. Click New registration.
  4. Provide a name for the application. Select a supported account type, which determines who can use the application. Under Redirect URI, select Web for the type of application you want to create. Enter the URI where the access token is sent to and then click Register.

    The Azure AD application and service principal are created.
