Adding vDiscovery Application as a New User

After you have set up the vDiscovery application in Microsoft Entra ID, you must add this application as a new user to your vNIOS for Azure subscription through the Azure resource manager portal, and then define its administrative role.

To add the application as a new user and define its role:

  1. Go to the Access control (IAM) page of your subscription.
  2. On the Access control (IAM) page, click + Add at the top of the page to add a new user.
  3. In the Add permissions panel, select Reader as the role, and then select a user or a group as the member (s) for the user role. The portal displays all the selected members in this panel.
  4. Click Save.

You can now configure and perform a vDiscovery job through Grid Manager (Infoblox GUI). Ensure that you have the following information that you previously recorded in order to configure a vDiscovery job:
• Client ID = Client ID in NIOS
• Key value = Client Secret in NIOS
• Token endpoint URL = Service Endpoint in NIOS
When creating a new vDiscovery job, select Azure as the Server Type. Infoblox also recommends that you select “The tenant’s network view” as the network views for both public and private IP addresses. For detailed information about vDiscovery jobs and how to configure them, refer to the Configuring vDiscovery Jobs section in the Infoblox NIOS Documentation.
