Azure Client Secrets Connection

Learn how to configure an Azure Client Secrets Connection for Infisical.

Infisical currently only supports one method for connecting to Azure, which is OAuth.

Self-Hosted Instance

Using the Azure Client Secrets connection on a self-hosted instance of Infisical requires configuring an application in Azure and registering your instance with it.

Prerequisites:

• Set up Azure.

1. Create an application in Azure

   Navigate to Azure Active Directory > App registrations to create a new application.

   Azure Active Directory is now Microsoft Entra ID.

   

   Create the application. As part of the form, set the Redirect URI to https://your-domain.com/organization/app-connections/azure/oauth/callback.

   The domain you defined in the Redirect URI should be equivalent to the SITE_URL configured in your Infisical instance.

   

2. Assign API permissions to the application

   For the Azure Connection to work with Client Secrets, you need to assign the following permission to the application.

   Azure Client Secrets permissions

   Set the API permissions of the Azure application to include the following permissions:

   • Microsoft Graph
     • Application.ReadWrite.All
     • Application.ReadWrite.OwnedBy
     • Application.ReadWrite.All (Delegated)
     • Directory.ReadWrite.All (Delegated)
     • User.Read (Delegated)
   • Azure App Configuration
     • KeyValue.Delete (Delegated)
     • KeyValue.Read (Delegated)
     • KeyValue.Write (Delegated)
   • Access Key Vault
     • user_impersonation (Delegated)

   

3. Add your application credentials to Infisical

   Obtain the Application (Client) ID and Directory (Tenant) ID (this will be used later in the Infisical connection) in Overview and generate a Client Secret in Certificate & secrets for your Azure application.

   

   Back in your Infisical instance, add two new environment variables for the credentials of your Azure application.

   • INF_APP_CONNECTION_AZURE_CLIENT_ID: The Application (Client) ID of your Azure application.
   • INF_APP_CONNECTION_AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET: The Client Secret of your Azure application.

   Once added, restart your Infisical instance and use the Azure Client Secrets connection.

Setup Azure Connection in Infisical

1. Navigate to App Connections

   Navigate to the App Connections tab on the Organization Settings page.

2. Add Connection

   Select the Azure Connection option from the connection options modal.

3. Authorize Connection

   Fill in the Tenant ID field with the Directory (Tenant) ID you obtained in the previous step.

   Now select the OAuth method and click Connect to Azure.

   

4. Grant Access

   You will then be redirected to Azure to grant Infisical access to your Azure account. Once granted, you will be redirected back to Infisical’s App Connections page.

5. Connection Created

   Your Azure Client Secrets Connection is now available for use.
