Azure-docs: Hard coded tenantId and objectId in exported ARM template from Resource Group

[bertrandpons]

Hello,

Question based on the following documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/resource-manager-quickstart-create-templates-use-the-portal

How do you deal with ARM templates when you have hard coded tenantId and objectId in them?

Let's say I have web apps, sql databases, key vault, storage, services bus, ... with managed identities, theses ids are therefore used.

Could the export of the templates remove the references to these ids?
As far as I investigated, it seems that the operation must be performed manually.

Many thanks for your help.

@bertrandpons - the export function is quite limited. It has to be done manually now.

@bertrandpons - you can export a template from the deployment history rather than from the current state of the resource group. It will give you a template that is easier to reuse. Otherwise, when you export from the state of the resource group, you often need to customize it a bit. You could turn those values into parameters.
