The following section describes the Windows Azure subscription properties that can be changed in App Controller. To view or change the connection properties of a private or public cloud, see Managing Connection Settings.

Configuring Windows Azure Subscription Properties

After you connect to a Windows Azure subscription in App Controller, you can make changes to the following properties:

  • Name—a display name that you can create to identify this subscription. This name will be displayed on the Clouds page in the Clouds column of the list view.

  • Description—an optional description you can use to provide more information about the subscription.

  • Subscription ID—a Windows Azure subscription ID, obtained from the Windows Azure Management Portal. This value cannot be changed after it has been added.

  • Management certificate—an X.509 v3 certificate used to authenticate App Controller with Windows Azure to manage subscription resources.

  • Management certificate password—the password created for use with the Management certificate.
