Azure Credentials
Use Azure Credentials to establish a secure and authenticated connection between HCL UnO Agentic AI Builder solutions and Azure OpenAI Service. These credentials enable AI agents to utilize Azure-hosted LLMs, which are typically tied to specific deployments, allowing for enterprise-grade security and control.
Before you begin
Ensure the following prerequisites are met:
-
You must have an active Azure Subscription and an Azure OpenAI Service resource deployed.
-
You need to have generated the necessary API Key or defined the appropriate Service Principal details for authentication.
-
You must ensure your Azure OpenAI service has the required model deployments (for example, GPT-4) configured, as the agent will reference these deployments via the LLM Profile.
