Question
What are Azure Apps Function in relation to Prisma Cloud?
Environment
- Prisma Cloud
- Azure
Answer
Azure App registrations offer the ability to create registrations for applications and assign permissions accordingly. When you create an application, you establish a trust relationship between the defined application and the Microsoft identity platform.
The Azure Apps are usually created when during the onboarding process with Prisma Cloud, we run the Terraform script to add necessary permissions and API enablements that Prisma requires. Also, when we run the TF script, the App provides us with the Client ID and Secret that we enter into Prisma Cloud.
The following document explains how Prisma Cloud uses the Azure App is to connect Prisma Cloud to your Azure Subscription:
So for the valid one and expiring soon ones, they are likely associated with an Azure Subscription and would not recommend deleting them.
For the expired ones, that indicates that the Client Secret has expired for them, which would mean that if they’re still associated with a Subscription that is onboarded into Prisma Cloud, the Azure Subscription in Prisma Cloud would indicate that the Secret Key has expired and would indicate an error.
However, if you don’t have any Azure Subscriptions indicating any expired Keys, then likely these Azure Apps are no longer associated with a Prisma Cloud onboarded Subscription.
