The following table describes Azure Data Factory connection profile parameters.

Parameter

Description

Subscription ID

Determines the Azure account subscription ID

The subscription ID can be retrieved from the Azure portal by selecting the Subscription menu.

Identity Type

Determines one of the following identity types to connect to Azure Data Factory:

  • Managed Identity: Enables you to access other Azure AD-protected resources. The identity is managed by the Azure platform and does not require you to provide credentials within Control-M. Use this option if the Agent is installed on an Azure virtual machine that has an assigned Managed Identity with the required permissions.

  • Service Principal: An Azure service principal, also known as App Registration, is an identity created for use with applications, hosted services, and automated tools to access Azure resources. This access is restricted by the roles assigned to the service principal, which gives the Azure Administrator control over which resources can be accessed and at which level. Use this option if the Agent is installed on-premises or any other cloud vendor.
