Azure Functions Connection Profile Parameters

The following table describes Azure Functions connection profile parameters.

Parameter

Description

Subscription ID

Defines 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 Functions:

  • 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.

    Managed Identity authentication is based on an Azure token that is valid, by default, for 24 hours. Token lifetime can be extended by Azure.

  • 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.

Tenant ID

(Service Principal) Defines the Tenant ID in Azure AD.

Application ID

Defines the application (service principal) ID of the registered application.

The service principal must be an Azure Functions workspace user with a Contributor or Owner role associated.

Client Secret

(Service Principal) Defines the secret (password) associated with the Azure user and the application.

Azure Login URL

(Service Principal) Defines the Azure AD authentication endpoint base URL.

Example: https://login.microsoftonline.com

Resource Group

Defines the name of the resource group that holds your application.
