Infisical currently only supports two methods for connecting to Azure, which are OAuth and Client Secrets.
Using the Azure App Configuration connection on a self-hosted instance of Infisical requires configuring an application in Azure and registering your instance with it.Prerequisites:
  • Set up Azure and have an existing App Configuration instance.
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.
Azure app configAzure app configCreate 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 App Configuration, you need to assign multiple permissions to the application.

​
Azure App Configuration 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 client secrets
3

Add your application credentials to Infisical

Obtain the Application (Client) ID in Overview and generate a Client Secret in Certificate & secrets for your Azure application.Azure app configAzure app configAzure app configBack in your Infisical instance, add two new environment variables for the credentials of your Azure application.
  • INF_APP_CONNECTION_AZURE_APP_CONFIGURATION_CLIENT_ID: The Application (Client) ID of your Azure application.
  • INF_APP_CONNECTION_AZURE_APP_CONFIGURATION_CLIENT_SECRET: The Client Secret of your Azure application.
Once added, restart your Infisical instance and use the Azure App Configuration connection.
To use client secret authentication, ensure your Azure Service Principal has the required permissions and is connected to the Azure App Configuration resources you want to use.Prerequisites:
  • Set up Azure and have an existing App Configuration instance.
  • The service principal must be connected to your target Azure App Configuration resource(s)
1

Assign API permissions to the service principal

Configure the required API permissions for your App Registration to interact with Azure App Configuration:

​
Azure App Configuration 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 client secrets
If you want to configure automatic client secret rotation for this App Connection, you also need to grant either Application.ReadWrite.OwnedBy or Application.ReadWrite.All permissions.

​
Setup Azure Connection in Infisical

1

Navigate to App Connections

Navigate to the Integrations tab in the desired project, then select App Connections. App Connections Tab
2

Add Connection

Select the Azure Connection option from the connection options modal. Select Azure Connection
3

Create Connection

1

Authorize Connection

You can optionally authenticate against a specific tenant by providing the Azure Tenant or Directory ID.Now select the OAuth method and click Connect to Azure.Connect via Azure OAUth
1

Grant Access

You will then be redirected to Azure to grant Infisical access to your Azure account. Once granted, you will redirect you back to Infisical’s App Connections page. Azure App Configuration Authorization
4

Connection Created

Your Azure App Configuration Connection is now available for use. Assume Role AWS Connection

​
Automatic Credential Rotation

When using the Client Secret authentication method, Infisical can automatically rotate the Client Secret of your Azure application on a recurring schedule. When enabled, Infisical will immediately generate a new Client Secret on connection creation and revoke the original one, ensuring that no external party retains access using the credentials you provided.
Automatic Credential Rotation is only available for the Client Secret authentication method.
1

Locate the Key ID of your Client Secret

Before enabling rotation, you’ll need the Key ID of the Client Secret you are using to authenticate. Navigate to your App Registration in the Azure Portal, then go to Certificates & secrets. Copy the Secret ID (Key ID) of the secret you are providing to Infisical.Azure Client Secret Key ID
2

Enable Automatic Credential Rotation

When creating or editing your connection, toggle on the Automatic Credential Rotation switch.Enable Automatic Credential Rotation
3

Provide the Client Secret Key ID

Enter the Key ID you copied in the previous step into the Client Secret Key ID field. Infisical uses this to revoke your original secret after generating a new one.Client Secret Key ID Field
4

Configure the Rotation Schedule

Set the Rotation Interval (in days) to define how often the credential should be rotated, and set Rotate At to the local time of day at which the rotation should occur.
  • Rotation Interval - How many days between each rotation.
  • Rotate At - The local time of day at which the rotation will be triggered. Rotation Schedule
