Specifying Existing Azure AD Application

[This step applies only if you have selected the Specify existing service account option at the Type step of the wizard]

When you choose to specify an existing service account, Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure connects to an existing Azure AD application that grants access to your Azure resources. For Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure to be able to connect to the Azure AD application, the application must be created in Microsoft Azure, and have the Contributor and Key Vault Crypto Officer Azure built-in roles assigned. To learn how to create Azure AD applications and assign Azure roles, see Microsoft Identity Platform and Azure RBAC documentation.

At the Logon step of the wizard, specify an existing service account that grants access to your Azure resources:

1. In the Application ID field, enter the application identifier. You can find the identifier in the application settings of your Azure Active Directory. For more information, see Microsoft Docs.
2. Select an application authentication type:

• Select the Client (application) secret option to use a client secret created in the specified Azure AD 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 Azure AD application. In the Security certificate field, click Select File to locate the certificate. Then, provide a password used to encrypt the certificate in the Certificate password field. To learn how to upload certificates to Azure AD applications, see Microsoft Docs.

3. In the Tenant ID field, enter the tenant ID of the specified Azure AD application.

You can find the tenant ID in the application settings of your Azure Active Directory. For more information, see Microsoft Docs.
