Microsoft Azure Credentials

^{Last updated: 2025-09-30}

Purpose

This article describes how to set up Microsoft Azure credentials on OUTSCAN.

Introduction

To enable Outpost24 to scan Microsoft Azure environments, you must provide valid Azure credentials. The Microsoft Azure Credentials feature lets you securely register an Azure account by supplying the tenant ID, client ID, and a secret key. With these credentials, Outpost24 gains the required authentication to access your Azure resources for vulnerability assessments and configuration audits. This ensures that scans are properly authorized and that resource visibility is complete while maintaining the principle of least privilege.

Adding Credentials

1. Log in to OUTSCAN. See the Logging in to the portal article on how to access the Portal.

2. In the Portal view, click the Account button in the upper right corner. Initials in the button may differ depending on the account name.
