Article summary

In this article, we will explain the steps you need to follow to get Azure Subscription details such as Client Identifier, Tenant Identifier, Application Secret Key, and the Publish Settings file from Azure.

Let's assume you are trying to connect BizTalk360 with Azure Active Directory. We will explain the detailed process of adding BizTalk360 to the Active Directory and retrieving the subscription details.

This process consists of the following steps:

  • Adding BizTalk360 to Active Directory and retrieving the subscription details
  • Retrieving the Publish Settings File
  • Adding the Azure Subscription details to BizTalk360
Note:
Microsoft Azure requires resource access to generate the access token. Whereas the Contributor role has all privileges except resource access, in BizTalk360, to generate the access token we require the owner role in Azure. Click here for more details.

Adding BizTalk360 to Active Directory & retrieving the subscription details

  1. Log in to the Azure Portal
  2. Click "Azure Active Directory" from the left navigation menu.
