Overview

Ctrlplane provides built-in integration with Azure through Entra app registrations. This allows workspaces to automatically access and manage Azure resources.

​
How It Works

To enable the integration, you’ll need to create an Entra app registration for your Ctrlplane instance. Once created, you can configure a subscription-specific resource provider for each Azure subscription you want to sync.

Configuration

​
Creating an Entra app registration

To create an Entra app registration, you’ll need to follow these steps:
  1. Navigate to the Azure portal and select your Azure Active Directory.
  2. In the left-hand menu, select Microsoft Entra ID.
  3. Under the Manage dropdown, select App registrations.
  4. Click New registration.
  5. Fill in the required fields:
    • Name: Give your app a name, for example, “Ctrlplane”.
    • Redirect URI: Set this to https://<ctrlplane-instance-url>/api/azure/consent with the platform as Web.
    • Supported account types: Select the scope of accounts that can use this app, for example, Accounts in this organizational directory only (this is the default and recommended setting).
  1. Click Register.
You’ll need to save the Application (client) ID as you’ll need it to enable the integration on your instance.

​
Generate a client secret

Once the app registration is created, you’ll need to generate a client secret.
  1. Navigate to the app registration you just created.
  2. In the left-hand menu, select Certificates & secrets.
  3. Click New client secret.
  4. Fill in the required fields:
    • Description: Give your secret a description, for example, “Ctrlplane client secret”.
    • Expires: Select the expiration date for your secret, for example, 1 year.
  5. Click Add.
You’ll need to save the Client secret as you’ll need it to enable the integration on your instance.
Once the client secret is expired, you’ll need to generate a new one and update the integration on your instance.
