 You now have a storage account and file share ready for SMB OAuth authentication. Verify in the Azure portal that your storage account and file share were created.
 
+### [Azure CLI](#tab/cli)
+
+To enable the `SMBOAuth` property on your storage account by using Azure CLI, first sign in to Azure:
+
+```azurecli
+az login
+```
+
+Select your subscription by specifying your subscription ID:
+
+```azurecli
+az account set --subscription "<subscription-ID>"
+```
+
+### Create the storage account
+
+To create a new storage account with `SMBOAuth` enabled, run the following command. Replace `<resource-group>`, `<storage-account-name>`, and `<region>` with your values.
+
+```azurecli
+az storage account create --resource-group <resource-group> --name <storage-account-name> --location <region> --sku Standard_LRS --enable-smb-oauth true
+```
+
+To enable SMBOAuth on an existing storage account, run the following command. Replace `<resource-group>` and `<storage-account-name>` with your values.
+
+```azurecli
+az storage account update --resource-group <resource-group> --name <storage-account-name> --enable-smb-oauth true
+```
+
+Next, create an SMB file share on the storage account. Replace `<storage-account-name>` and `<file-share-name>` with your values.
+
+```azurecli
+az storage share create --account-name <storage-account-name> --name <file-share-name>
+```
+
+You now have a storage account and file share ready for SMB OAuth authentication. Verify in the Azure portal that your storage account and file share were created.
