Automate the Azure databox unlocking process

Question

I am trying to find some ways to unlock the Azure databox without using the Azure Local Web UI which is basically the only way that is written in the Azure documentation.

Is there any other way by which I can communicate with the Azure databox and can unlock it, for example using cli or terminal ?

Problem: I do not want to open the web UI every time and unlock it manually, rather than I want to write a code, get the credentials and certificates from the azure portal via az cli, and assign those credentials to unlock the databox. I also checked the az cli databox, but there is no support for unlocking the device.

Thanks

@Mohd Adil Bhati Apologies for the delay response! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting you query here!

Yes, the local UI is required for the initial unlock and set up. You can use any copy utility to write data to the device.

Please let us know if you have any further queries. I’m happy to assist you further.
