Hi
We use automation account with a service principal (created with certifiacte -> az ad sp create-for-rbac --name ServicePrincipalName01 --create-cert ). We need to associate the automation account connection (of type AzureServicePrincipal) and certificate (the Service Principal certificate).

As per https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/azurerm/r/automation_account.html , there is no object for connection and certificate. Can you please advise if this is supported ?

Any comments on this?
Personally I'm actually more curious on the block properties, or seperate resources on defining/using the Run as accounts. Which I assume would go into the same structure as the service principal that could be provided?

Also, handling custom roles + scope to such service principals should be included.

I would also like to note this:
#4431

Seems like these two issues would go very well together.

I am at the same crossroads. Not able to create an azure run as account for automation using Terraform. I am reading issues and fixes related to this but not sure what is a good alternative to get this implemented until such a seamless association is provided. I have heard in bits and pieces on the work around to do this but don't have a direction. Can you kindly help me on how to achieve this as a contingency ?

This has been released in version 2.18.0 of the provider. Please see the Terraform documentation on provider versioning or reach out if you need any assistance upgrading. As an example:

provider "azurerm" {
    version = "~> 2.18.0"
}
# ... other configuration ...
