Provisioning an Azure Bot to use with Agents SDK

To run an agent on Azure, you have to:

• Create an Azure Bot
• Configure your SDK agent for that Azure bot
• Deploy your SDK agent to Azure

This document details how to create the Azure Bot. These instructions apply to all Azure Bots's, regardless of which language you are using for your SDK Agent.

Authentication types

The Azure Bot Service supports multiple authentication types:

• Client Secret (Single tenant)
• User Managed Identity
• Federated Credentials (Single tenant)

Which authentication type should you use?

• If you are creating a Teams agent that will require SSO, choose Federated Credentials.
• For better security, choose User Managed Identity.
• For local testing (if your tenant allows secrets), use Client Secret and a devtunnel.
