Field

Description

Subscription ID

Unique ID assigned to the Microsoft Azure user account to access the Microsoft Azure management portal.

Account Prefix

Prefix to identify the Microsoft Azure Affinity Group and Virtual Network entries. The prefix must be unique and can be of 5 - 255 characters. It should consist of only letters (lowercase or UPPERCASE) and numbers. Special characters are not allowed (excluding underscore '_' and hyphen ' - ').

Note: While creating a storage account in Microsoft Azure, Azure Provider prefixes the first 5 characters of the Account Prefix details entered here for the VM provisioned using the corresponding account.

Truststore Name

File name of the management certificate used by the Microsoft Azure account and saved on the BMC Platform Manager server in the default location (<BMCCLM_HOME>\Platform_Manager).

Note

Perform the following steps when the Azure certificate expires:

  1. Change the certificate name and password in the Truststore Name and Truststore Password fields with the corresponding new name and password.
  2. Ensure that the certificate is of the same subscription.
  3. Restart the Platform Manager service.

Truststore Password

Password that corresponds to the specified Microsoft Azure management certificate file. 

 

  1. Click Add.
    A notification appears, indicating that the account details have been saved.
  2. Click OK.
    The newly added account details appear in the Existing Azure Credentials list.
