Configure multiple connections

[!INCLUDE api-management-availability-all-tiers]

You can configure multiple connections to a credential provider in your API Management instance. For example, if you configured Microsoft Entra ID as a credential provider, you might need to create multiple connections for different scenarios and users.

In this article, you learn how to add a connection to an existing provider by using credential manager in the Azure portal. For an overview of credential manager, see About API credentials and credential manager.

Prerequisites

Create a connection

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal and go to your API Management instance.

  2. Under APIs in the sidebar menu, select Credential manager.

  3. Select the credential provider that you want to create multiple connections for.

  4. In the credential provider window, select Overview, then choose + Create connection.
