JetStream DR for AVS can be configured to use Microsoft Entra ID for enhanced authentication with Azure storage accounts. This requires JetStream DR to be registered in Microsoft Entra ID as an application. 

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).


Do the following to configure Microsoft Entra ID:


Register JetStream DR as an Azure Application

Create a Client Secret for the Registered Application
