Terraform Provider for Azure Active Directory

General Requirements

  • Terraform 0.10.x
  • Go 1.13.x (to build the provider plugin)

Windows Specific Requirements

For GNU32 Make, make sure its bin path is added to PATH environment variable.*

For Git Bash for Windows, at the step of "Adjusting your PATH environment", please choose "Use Git and optional Unix tools from Windows Command Prompt".*

Building The Provider

Clone repository to: $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-azuread

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers; cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers
$ git clone git@github.com:terraform-providers/terraform-provider-azuread

Enter the provider directory and build the provider

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-azuread
$ make build

Using the provider

# Configure the Microsoft Azure AD Provider
provider "azuread" {
  # NOTE: Environment Variables can also be used for Service Principal authentication
  # Terraform also supports authenticating via the Azure CLI too.
  # see here for more info: http://terraform.io/docs/providers/azuread/index.html

  # subscription_id = "..."
  # client_id       = "..."
  # client_secret   = "..."
  # tenant_id       = "..."
}

# Create an application
resource "azuread_application" "example" {
  name = "ExampleApp"
}

# Create a service principal
resource "azuread_service_principal" "example" {
  application_id = "${azuread_application.example.application_id}"
}

Further usage documentation is available on the Terraform website.

Developing the Provider

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (version 1.13+ is required). You'll also need to correctly setup a GOPATH, as well as adding $GOPATH/bin to your $PATH.

To compile the provider, run make build. This will build the provider and put the provider binary in the $GOPATH/bin directory.

$ make build
...
$ $GOPATH/bin/terraform-provider-azuread
...

In order to test the provider, you can simply run make test.

$ make test

The majority of tests in the provider are Acceptance Tests - which provisions real resources in Azure. It's possible to run the entire acceptance test suite by running make testacc - however it's likely you'll want to run a subset, which you can do using a prefix, by running:

make testacc TESTARGS='-run=TestAccAzureADApplication'

The following ENV variables must be set in your shell prior to running acceptance tests:

  • ARM_CLIENT_ID
  • ARM_CLIENT_SECRET
  • ARM_SUBSCRIPTION_ID
  • ARM_TENANT_ID
  • ARM_TEST_LOCATION
  • ARM_TEST_LOCATION_ALT

Note: Acceptance tests create real resources, and often cost money to run.
