An Azure Client ID is required to create a Third Party DNS provider. Complete the following steps to create an Azure Client ID:

  1. Launch the Infoblox Portal.

  2. Go to Configure > Networking > Discovery > Cloud > Create > Azure.

  3. Click Create Application. The Azure Application Name and Application ID are displayed.

  4. Log on to Azure.

  5. Use the Application ID created above to create a Service Principal. You can use the following command:

az ad sp create --id <app-id-by-infoblox> (for example - 7203a470-888a-45ca-9c3a-237ea7684926)

  1. Go to Azure Console > Subscriptions > Access Control (IAM) > Add Role > Assignment > Members > Select Member.

  2. Search the Application Name displayed in the Infoblox Portal.

  3. Assign the required role. For more information see Permissions Required in Azure DNS.

  4. Click Review + Assign to assign the role.

  5. Once the role is successfully assigned, the Service Principal will be visible under Role Assignment with required role section in Access Control (IAM).

  6. Share the Tenant ID (where the subscription used in above step belongs to) in Infoblox Portal.
