When associating an Azure cloud account with the Rapid Recovery Core, one parameter you must provide is the tenant ID. Azure calls this parameter the directory ID. The directory ID is a property of the Active Directory (AD) web application you create within your Azure subscription.

    1. From the Azure navigation menu, click [All services] All services.
    2. From the General category, click [Subscriptions] Subscriptions and then click on your Azure subscription.

Obtaining a secret key for your Azure web application

As a prerequisite for this task, you must create an Active Directory (AD) web application in your Azure subscription.

You must have a secret key to connect to and use your Azure Active Directory (AD) web application with Rapid Recovery. Typically, a key is created as part of the process for defining the web application. When creating the secret key, immediately save the secret key to a secure location, as it cannot be recovered or viewed later.

NOTE: The steps for defining your secret key after creating the web application is described in the topic Creating an Azure Active Directory web application

If you do not record the secret key value, you can create a new secret key for your web application in Azure.

Complete the steps in this procedure to create a new secret key associated with an existing Azure AD web application.

  1. From the Azure navigation menu, click [AD] Azure Active Directory and select [App registrations] App registrations.
  2. Click the name of the appropriate AD web application in your Azure account.

    Details for the selected web application appear.

  3. From the details page for your web application, click [Settings] Settings.
  4. From the Settings pane, click [Subscriptions] Keys.
  5. From the Keys pane, do the following:
    1. In the Key description text area, enter a text description to help identify the purpose of the secret key. For example, to describe this key as the one you will use with Rapid Recovery Core, type RRCore-key.
    2. From the Expires drop-down menu, select a duration for this secret key, for example, 2 years.
    3. From the top of the Settings pane, click [Save] Save.

    Caution: Immediately record the secret key description and value in a secure location for the long term. If you do not retain the secret key for your Azure AD web application when you create it, it cannot be recovered.
