Store an Azure Service principal using the REST api

matthew_short · September 1, 2016, 2:37pm

hi, should I be able to do this?

I’ve worked out how to return the existing accounts, so i copied the attributes into the header and every time i send the POST, it errors with a 500 internal server error.

I dont know enough to be able to work out if its possible to interpret the 500 error and work out whats wrong.

some fairly industrial code im using to see if this works.


$OctopusURL = 'http://dllwindows8'

$OctopusAPIKey = 'API-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'

$header = @{}
$header.Add("X-Octopus-ApiKey", $OctopusAPIKey);
$header.Add("AccountType", "AzureServicePrincipal")
$header.Add("SubscriptionNumber", "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx")
$header.Add("ClientId", "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx")
$header.Add("TenantId", "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx")
$header.Add("Name", "Rest Insertion")
#$header.Add("Password", "Rest Insertion")
#$header.Add("Description", "Description")


$AzureSubscriptionAccount = (Invoke-WebRequest "$OctopusURL/api/accounts" -Method POST -Headers $header).content | ConvertFrom-Json
$AzureSubscriptionAccount

HI there,

Thanks for reaching out. Totally possible to do from the API, but not quite with that script. Here I wrote an example for you:

github.com

OctopusDeploy/OctopusDeploy-Api/blob/master/REST/PowerShell/Accounts/CreateAzureServicePrincipal.ps1

##CONFIG
$OctopusURL = "" #Octopus URL
$OctopusAPIKey = "" #Octopus API Key

$AccountName = "" #Name you want to give to the account.
$ClientId = "" #Your Azure Active Directory Client ID. This is a GUID in the format xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx. This value is known as Client ID in the Azure Portal, and Application ID in the API.
$Password = "" #The password for the Azure Active Directory application. This value is known as Key in the Azure Portal, and Password in the API.
$SubscriptionID = "" #Your Azure subscription ID. This is a GUID in the format xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
$TenantId = "" #Your Azure Active Directory Tenant ID. This is a GUID in the format xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

##PROCESS##
$header = @{ "X-Octopus-ApiKey" = $octopusAPIKey }

$body = @{
    AccountType = "AzureServicePrincipal"
    ClientId = $ClientId
    EnvironmentIds = "" #Scoped to all environments
    #EnvironmentIds = @("Environments-1","Environments-21") #Scoped to specific environments
    Name = $AccountName
    Password = @{
