Specifying Existing Application
[This step applies only if you have selected the Use the existing account option at the Account Type step of the wizard]
If you choose to use an existing account, Veeam Backup & Replication connects to an existing Microsoft Entra application that grants access to the specified Microsoft Entra ID tenant. For Veeam Backup & Replication to be able to connect to the Microsoft Entra application and to protect tenant data, the application must be created in Microsoft Azure, and have all the Permissions necessary to process the selected protection scope.
At the Authentication step of the wizard, do the following:
- In the Application ID field, enter the application identifier. You can find the identifier on the Overview page of your Microsoft Entra application in the Microsoft Azure portal. For more information, see Microsoft Docs.
- Select an application authentication type:
- Select the Secret option to use a client secret created for the specified Microsoft Entra application. In the Secret field, enter the value of the secret. To learn how to create client secrets, see Microsoft Docs.
- Select the Certificate option to use a certificate uploaded to the specified Microsoft Entra application. In the Certificate field, click Browse to locate the certificate. Then, provide a password used to encrypt the certificate in the Password field. To learn how to upload certificates to Microsoft Entra applications, see Microsoft Docs.
