Microsoft Azure Service Bus

Introduction

This guide explains how to authenticate the Microsoft Azure Service Bus connector in Swimlane using a Service Bus Connection String. You will collect the required connection details from Azure and configure the connector asset in Swimlane Turbine.

Prerequisites

Azure Access Requirements

You must have Azure permissions to:

Access the Azure Portal

View or manage Azure Service Bus namespaces

Access Shared Access Policies

Retrieve connection strings

Required Credentials

During setup you will collect:

Azure Service Bus Namespace

Shared Access Policy Name

Primary Connection String

Authentication Method Overview

The Microsoft Azure Service Bus connector authenticates using a Service Bus Connection String. This connection string contains the endpoint URL, Shared Access Signature (SAS) key name, and SAS key used to authorize API operations.

Azure Setup

Take the following steps to obtain the Azure Service Bus connection string:

Navigate to All Resources or Service Bus in the Azure Portal.

Select the Service Bus namespace used for your messaging queues.

In the left navigation panel, locate and click Shared Access Policies.

Select an existing policy such as RootManageSharedAccessKey, or create a new policy with the required permissions.

Open the selected policy.

Locate the Primary Connection String field.

Copy the connection string value.

Store this value securely as it will be used in the Swimlane connector configuration.

Connector Configuration in Swimlane

Take the following steps to configure the Microsoft Azure Service Bus connector asset in Swimlane.

From the left-hand navigation pane click ORCHESTRATION and then Assets.

The Asset homepage opens.

Click the Plus Icon (+) to open the Configure your Connector Asset window.

Select Microsoft Azure Service Bus from the Asset Type list.

Fill in the Asset Settings and Asset Input fields as shown below.

Configuration Parameters

Field	Description	Required
connection_string	Azure Service Bus connection string obtained from the Shared Access Policy	Required
verify_ssl	Enable or disable SSL certificate verification	Optional
http_proxy	Proxy configuration if requests must pass through a proxy	Optional

Troubleshooting

If authentication fails: • Ensure the connection string was copied correctly from Azure. • Verify that the Shared Access Policy has sufficient permissions (Manage, Send, or Listen). • Confirm the Service Bus namespace is accessible from the Swimlane environment. • Check SSL verification settings if SSL inspection is enabled in your environment. • Verify proxy configuration if outbound traffic must pass through a proxy.
