+If you already created and assigned a Service Principal in Azure you can manually create the .json object above by finding the `clientId` and `clientSecret` on the Service Principal, and your `subscriptionId` and `tenantId` of the subscription and tenant respectively. The `resourceManagerEndpointUrl` will be `https://management.azure.com/` if you are using the public Azure cloud.
