# Azure Client Secret

> Learn how to automatically rotate Azure Client Secrets.

<Note>
  **Rotation Type: Dual-Phase**

  This rotation maintains two active credential sets with overlapping validity, ensuring zero-downtime during rotation cycles.
</Note>

## Prerequisites

* Create an [Azure Client Secret Connection](/integrations/app-connections/azure-client-secrets).
* Ensure your network security policies allow incoming requests from Infisical to this rotation provider, if network restrictions apply.

## Create an Azure Client Secret Rotation in Infisical

  <Tab title="Infisical UI">
    1. Navigate to your Secret Manager Project's Dashboard and select **Add Secret Rotation** from the actions dropdown.

    2. Select the **Azure Client Secret** option.

    3. Select the **Azure Connection** to use and configure the rotation behavior. Then click **Next**.

       * **Azure Connection** - the connection that will perform the rotation of the specified application's Client Secret.
       * **Rotation Interval** - the interval, in days, that once elapsed will trigger a rotation.
       * **Rotate At** - the local time of day when rotation should occur once the interval has elapsed.
       * **Auto-Rotation Enabled** - whether secrets should automatically be rotated once the rotation interval has elapsed. Disable this option to manually rotate secrets or pause secret rotation.

    4. Select the Azure application whose Client Secret you want to rotate. Then click **Next**.

    5. Specify the secret names that the client credentials should be mapped to. Then click **Next**.

       * **Client ID** - the name of the secret that the application Client ID will be mapped to.
       * **Client Secret** - the name of the secret that the rotated Client Secret will be mapped to.

    6. Give your rotation a name and description (optional). Then click **Next**.

       * **Name** - the name of the secret rotation configuration. Must be slug-friendly.
       * **Description** (optional) - a description of this rotation configuration.

    7. Review your configuration, then click **Create Secret Rotation**.

    8. Your **Azure Client Secret** credentials are now available for use via the mapped secrets.

  </Tab>

  <Tab title="API">
    To create an Azure Client Secret Rotation, make an API request to the [Create Azure
    Client Secret Rotation](/api-reference/endpoints/secret-rotations/azure-client-secret/create) API endpoint.

    You will first need the **Client ID** and **Object ID** of the Azure application you want to rotate the secret for. This can be obtained from the Applications dashboard.
