Description

The Connect-AzureAD cmdlet connects an authenticated account to use for Azure Active Directory cmdlet requests.

You can use this authenticated account only with Azure Active Directory cmdlets.

Examples

Example 1: Connect a PowerShell session to a tenant

PS C:\> Connect-AzureAD -Confirm

This command connects the current PowerShell session to an Azure Active Directory tenant. The command prompts you for a username and password for the tenant you want to connect to. The Confirm parameter prompts you for confirmation.

If multi-factor authentication is enabled for your credentials, you must log in using the interactive option or use service principal authentication.

Example 2: Connect a session using a variable

PS C:\> $Credential = Get-Credential
PS C:\> Connect-AzureAD -Credential $Credential

The first command gets the user credentials, and then stores them in the $Credential variable.

The second command connects the current PowerShell session using the credentials in $Credential.

This account authenticates with Azure Active Directory using organizational ID credentials. You cannot use multi-factor authentication or Microsoft account credentials to run Azure Active Directory cmdlets with this account.

Example 3: Connect a session as a service principal

# Login to Azure AD PowerShell With Admin Account
Connect-AzureAD 

# Create the self signed cert
$currentDate = Get-Date
$endDate = $currentDate.AddYears(1)
$notAfter = $endDate.AddYears(1)
$pwd = "<password>"
$thumb = (New-SelfSignedCertificate -CertStoreLocation cert:\localmachine\my -DnsName com.foo.bar -KeyExportPolicy Exportable -Provider "Microsoft Enhanced RSA and AES Cryptographic Provider" -NotAfter $notAfter).Thumbprint
$pwd = ConvertTo-SecureString -String $pwd -Force -AsPlainText
Export-PfxCertificate -cert "cert:\localmachine\my\$thumb" -FilePath c:\temp\examplecert.pfx -Password $pwd

# Load the certificate
$cert = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate("C:\temp\examplecert.pfx", $pwd)
$keyValue = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String($cert.GetRawCertData())


# Create the Azure Active Directory Application
$application = New-AzureADApplication -DisplayName "test123" -IdentifierUris "https://test123"
New-AzureADApplicationKeyCredential -ObjectId $application.ObjectId -CustomKeyIdentifier "Test123" -StartDate $currentDate -EndDate $endDate -Type AsymmetricX509Cert -Usage Verify -Value $keyValue

# Create the Service Principal and connect it to the Application
$sp=New-AzureADServicePrincipal -AppId $application.AppId

# Give the Service Principal Reader access to the current tenant (Get-AzureADDirectoryRole)
Add-AzureADDirectoryRoleMember -ObjectId aaaaaaaa-0000-1111-2222-bbbbbbbbbbbb -RefObjectId $sp.ObjectId

# Get Tenant Detail
$tenant=Get-AzureADTenantDetail
# Now you can login to Azure PowerShell with your Service Principal and Certificate
Connect-AzureAD -TenantId $tenant.ObjectId -ApplicationId  $sp.AppId -CertificateThumbprint $thumb

This command authenticates the user to Azure Active Directory as a service principal.
