Microsoft Entra ID Authentication for JetStream DR is a Tech Preview feature only.
Microsoft Entra ID Authentication should not be used in production environments with this version of JetStream DR for AVS.

The Microsoft Entra ID Application ID and Secret Key are used to access the storage account instead of an Access Key. Once JetStream DR has been registered in Microsoft Entra ID, the Azure storage account will be configured to grant JetStream DR virtual appliances access to the Blob storage with the required role. The following are required to use Microsoft Entra ID authentication with JetStream DR software:

    • Microsoft Entra ID Tenant ID (Identifies the Microsoft Entra ID directory to use for authentication)
    • Application ID (Uniquely identifies the JetStream DR application)
    • Application Secret Value (Authenticates JetStream DR to Microsoft Entra ID)

Important: The Application ID and Application Secret Key values should be unique for each site accessing the Azure storage account.


Note: These steps illustrate setup for one site only. Actual configuration requires repeating the steps for each site requiring access to the Azure storage account (e.g., primary site and recovery site).

Steps to configure Microsoft Entra ID to use with JetStream DR software:

Register JetStream DR as an Azure Application

Create a Client Secret for the Registered Application
