This article applies only to Account Key authentication. If you plan to authenticate using a Service Principal, see Create an Azure Service Principal instead.
Overview
If you are using Account Key authentication, you must obtain the Azure Storage Account Name and Access Key before creating an Azure Blob Storage connection in Yarken.
Yarken uses these credentials to securely connect to your Azure Storage Account and retrieve billing export files from the configured container.
Procedure
To view your Azure Storage Account access keys:
-
Sign in to the Azure portal.
-
Navigate to the Storage Account that stores your billing export files.
-
In the left navigation menu, expand Security + networking, then select Access keys.
The Access keys page displays two access keys that can be used to authenticate with the Storage Account.
-
Under key1 (or key2), click Show to display the access key.
-
Copy the following information:
|

Description |
|---|---|
|
