Set up authentication type for Azure Key Vault

After you complete the initial installation and configure Azure Key Vault as the external key vault, you can set up the authentication type for Automation 360 Control Room users in the Initial Setup (this occurs directly after the initial installation completes).

Procedure

From the Authentication type for Control Room users dialog box, click Active Directory.
Optional: Configure the Active Directory integration credential (this is the credential that the Control Room uses to authenticate users with Active Directory) to be retrieved from Azure Key Vault. Click External Key vault and enter the Azure secret to retrieve credentials in the field (for example: userAD).
Click Discover connections. The available domains and sites display.
Click Next and continue to create the Control Room first admin. Save the Admin user information.
The Control Room will attempt to retrieve the credential from the Azure Key Vault and then authenticate to the Domain Controller. If this fails, cause might be one of the following:
- There is no secret with that name in the Azure Key Vault
- There is a secret with that name, but it does not contain a username and password that is authorized for authentication with Active Directory

You can now log in to the Control Room as admin and add users and roles.

Note: The passwords within the Azure Key Vault are masked so ensure that you copy and save them after you create them.
