Get authentication information for Azure Stack Hub

  • Article

To authenticate to Azure Stack Hub, you must provide the subscription ID, tenant ID, and location, as well as an Azure Stack Hub Resource Manager endpoint.

Values needed to authenticate

You need the following information:

  • Subscription ID

    You use the subscription ID to access offers in Azure Stack Hub.

  • Tenant ID

    A directory is a container that holds information about users, applications, groups, and service principals. A directory tenant is an organization, such as Microsoft or your own company.

  • Location

    The location, or region, is a set of datacenters deployed within a latency-defined perimeter and connected through a dedicated regional low-latency network. With Azure Stack Hub, your location may include a local datacenter rather than an Azure region.

  • Azure Stack Hub Resource Manager endpoint

    The Microsoft Azure Resource Manager is a management framework that allows admins to deploy, manage, and monitor Azure resources. Azure Resource Manager can handle these tasks as a group, rather than individually, in a single operation.
