Azure Authorization

If you haven’t already done so, you will need to setup a Microsoft Azure account before you begin the process described below. If you are new to creating authorizations in Lytics, see the Authorizations Dashboard documentation for more information.

1. Select Microsoft Azure from the list of providers.
2. Select the method for authorization. Note that different methods support different job types:
   • Azure Storage Connection String
   • Azure Event Hub
   • Azure SQL Database
3. Enter a Label to identify your authorization.
4. (Optional) Enter a Description for further context on your authorization.
5. Complete the configuration steps needed for your authorization. These steps will vary by method.
6. Click Save Authorization.

Use the Microsoft Azure Storage Connection String to import or export files to and from Azure Blob storage. Please refer to Azure's documentation to setup the connection string for the Blob storage, and then follow the steps below to connect Lytics with Azure:

1. In the Connection String box, enter the connection string for the Blob storage.
2. (Optional) In the PGP Key box, enter a PGP public key to encrypt Azure Blob files.

Use the Microsoft Azure Event Hub authorization method to export Lytics Audiences to Azure Event Hub. You will need the Event Hub Connection String. Once obtained, enter the connection string in the Event Hub Connection String box.

For Azure SQL Database you will need the following credentials. Note that if your Azure SQL server enforces IP firewall rules, you will need to add Lytics production IPs to the allowlist. Please contact your Lytics account manager for a range of IPs.

1. In the Server text box, enter your Azure SQL server.
2. In the Port text box, enter your Azure SQL server port.
3. In the Database text box, enter your Azure SQL database.
4. In the User text box, enter your username.
