# Azure Container Registry
Integrate Azure Container Registry with OX to centralize security findings alongside container, pipeline, cloud, and runtime signals already in OX.
OX scans the Azure Container Registry on a schedule and on demand, enriches findings with OX context (application mapping, workflows, and compliance), and presents a unified queue for investigation and reporting.
After you connect, Azure scan results appear in the Active issues page (use the filter **Source tool > Azure Container Registry**).
## What OX adds
* **Context and correlation**: OX maps Azure findings to applications, services, and teams to show impact and ownership.
* **Prioritization with severity factors:** OX may reprioritize scanner severities when exploitability and environment context reduce risk (for example, Critical → High). Severity factors explain why the priority changed.
* **Evidence at a glance:** When available, OX displays scanner evidence, file locations, and remediation guidance alongside OX analytics to speed triage.
## Connection Methods
For general information about connection methods, see[ Connection methods](/get-started/onboarding-to-ox/source-control/connection-methods.md).
Connect to OX with Azure Tenant ID, Client ID, Subscription ID, and Client Secret you create for this connection.
## Prerequisites
**OX**
* OX permission to configure connectors
**Azure Container Registry**
* Admin permissions to the Azure account you want to connect.
## Connect with Azure credentials
### Step 1: Create the credentials \[Azure]
This step has several parts.
**Register an app**
1. Verify that the [prerequisites](#prerequisites) are in place.
2. Log in to your Azure account.
3. From the Home page, use **Search** to open the Microsoft Entra ID page. Enter ‘add’ to find it.
4. From your account home page, select **+Add** and select **App registration**.
5. In **Register an application**, enter a name and ensure that the single tenant option is selected.
6. Select **Register**.
7. In the **App** screen, the Application (Client) ID and the Directory (Tenant) ID display. Save them. You’ll need them later.
**Assign roles**
1. From the header, use **Search** to locate the Subscriptions page.
2. Select the subscription.
3. From the Subscriptions page, select **Access Control (IAM)**.
4. In **Access control (IAM)**, select **+Add > Role assignment**.
5. In **Add role assignment,** select the reader permission and select **Next**.
6. On the next screen, select **+Select members** and select the app from the list on the right.
7. Select the **Select** button to continue.
8. On the next screen, select **Next**.
9. On the next screen, select **Review + assign**.This returns you to Subscription page > Access control (IAM).
**Create a client secret**
1. Use **Search** to locate the Microsoft Entra ID page.
2. From the left menu pane, select **Manage > App registration**.
3. In **App registrations**, select the app you created.
4. From the App registrations menu pane, select **Certificates & secrets**.\
\
5. In **Certificates & secrets**, select **+ New client secret**.
6. Enter a name and expiry period.
7. Select **Add**.
8. The Secret value and Secret ID display. Copy and save them securely. You cannot view the Secret again.\
**Best practice:** Store the token in a secrets manager and set a reminder to rotate it according to your policy.
9. Next, open the Subscription page and copy the Subscription ID.\
You now have these four credentials:
* Client ID
* Tenant ID
* Subscription ID
* Token secret
### Step 2: Connect OX to Azure Container Registry \[OX]
1. Verify that the [prerequisites](#prerequisites) are in place.
2. In OX, go to **Connectors > Registry** and select **Azure Container Registry**.\
\
3. In **Configure your Azure Container Registry credentials**, select the link **CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS** to open an online summary of the connection process.
4. Enter the parameters you created:
* Tenant ID
* Client ID
* Client Secret
* Subscription ID
5. Select **CONNECT**. OX validates the credentials.
6. In **Configure your Azure credentials**, select **VERIFY CONNECTIVITY**.\
A green checkmark indicates a successful connection. If verification fails, check your credentials and permissions.
#### Optional configurations
* To change the images OX scans and monitors, see the section [Change the locations OX scans](#change-the-locations-ox-scans).
* To connect more Azure accounts to the same organization in the OX platform, repeat the process.
* For information on the OX Broker, see the article [OX Broker](/get-started/onboarding-to-ox/prerequisites-and-access/ox-broker.md).
## Change the locations OX scans
Once you have a connection, you can change the locations that OX scans and monitors.
1. Use the **Gear** icon at the bottom of the Configuration screen.
2. OX displays the locations or objects that OX scans and monitors.
3. Change the selection as needed.
4. Select SAVE.
