Editing And Validating A Connection

What this page is for

This page explains how to maintain a saved Azure connection after it already exists.

When to use it

Use this when:

• a saved connection stops working
• credential details have changed
• continuous scanning or the selected WAF rule set needs to change
• you inherited the setup and want to confirm it still works
• the connection has not been used for a while

How to use it

1. Open the project page.
2. Go to Connections.
3. Choose Edit on the relevant connection.
4. Update the connection details if needed.
5. Review subscriptions.
6. Update continuous scanning options or the WAF rule set if needed.
7. Save the connection.

What Hygiara is doing

When you leave the secret field empty during edit, Hygiara keeps the stored secret in place. That makes routine maintenance safer and less tedious.

Revalidation checks that the connection still supports the Azure access the review workflow needs.

The edit flow uses the same modal as the add flow. That means credential details, discovered subscriptions, continuous scanning, and the WAF rule set are all maintained in one place.

What to expect

If the connection validates cleanly, it remains available for future reviews. If it does not, fix that before queueing a new review you care about.

Common mistakes

• editing a connection but skipping validation
• assuming an old validated connection is still trustworthy months later
• re-entering sensitive values unnecessarily when the stored secret can be reused
• changing a rule set in a review and expecting it to change the saved connection automatically
