Distributors using the Secure Application Model (CPV) must only configure the parameters specified in the following table for the corresponding marketplace. To do so, please complete the following steps:

  1. Log in to the CloudBlue Connect Distributor Portal.
  2. Go to Products and select the Microsoft SaaS product.
  3. Click Configuration and filter the parameters by the marketplace scope to see the configuration parameters for the required marketplace.
