    Authenticate with Azure using a certificate

    You can authenticate with Azure using a certificate as a secret. As with password authentication, the certificate is stored with the Azure service principal. For more information, see the Microsoft docs here.
    1. Log into Compute Console.
    2. Go to
      Manage > Cloud accounts
    3. Click
      Add account
      .
    4. In
      Select cloud provider
      , choose
      Azure
      .
    5. Enter a name for the credential.
    6. In
      Subtype
      , select
      Certificate
      .
    7. In
      Certificate
      , enter your service principal’s certificate in PEM format.
      The certificate must include the private key. Concatenate public cert with private key (e.g., cat client-cert.pem client-key.pem).
    8. Enter a tenant ID.
    9. Enter a client ID.
    10. Enter a subscription ID.
    11. Click
      Next
      .
    12. In
      Scan account
      , disable
      Agentless scanning
      .
    13. Click
      Next
      .
    14. Click
      Add account
      .
    15. Validate the credential.
      Your Azure credential is now available to be used in the various integration points in the product, including registry scanning, serverless function scanning, and so on. If authentication with a certificate is supported, it’s shown in the credential drop-down in the setup dialog. For example, the following screenshot shows the setup dialog for scanning Azure Container Registry:
      After setting up your integrations, you can review how and where the credential is being used by going to
      Manage > Authentication > Credentials store
       and clicking on the credential.
