Create a service principal in Azure API Management

To create a service principal you have two options:

• use the Azure shell https://shell.azure.com/. This will add additional costs to your account - info and pricing are provided when accessing the URL).
• install the CLI: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli?view=azure-cli-latest.

Here we will document how to create the service principal using the CLI.

• After you install the CLI, run az login command. You will be redirected to login with to your Azure account.
• Once logged in, run az ad sp create-for-rbac -n ""http://your_service_principal_name" command. The result should contain the tenantId and password. See example:

  Creating a role assignment under the scope of "/subscriptions/b3700142-5855-4c3c-b8a0-ff1bbda1d53e"
   Retrying role assignment creation: 1/36
  {
    "appId": "f4b7a269-******",
    "displayName": "cataog-integration",
    "name": "http://catalog-integration",
    "password": "63c9503f-*****",
    "tenant": "300f59df-*******"
  }

• Retrieve your subscription id with az account show --query id. You will use this value later in the Integration Builder flow.
