Install the Gateway Connector to a Microsoft Entra ID environment

When you install the connector, you upload the VHD file as a blob in the Microsoft Entra ID portal. You use the blob to create an image that is used by the connector VM. For information on configuring your Entra environment, visit Azure portal documentation - Azure portal | Microsoft Docs.
