Step 1: Necessary information from the Azure IoT Hub
The Microsoft Azure IoT Hub Connector requires the intermediate key, intermediate certificate, intermediate key password, and DPS ID Scope from your Azure instance to operate. You’ll find these in the Azure IoT Hub Device Provisioning Service.
Microsoft’s website has detailed documentation on how to manage device enrollments in the Azure portal.
Step 2: Set up an Azure Microsoft Azure IoT Hub Connector in Onomondo
Now that you have your Azure IoT Hub information ready, you’re able to create a Microsoft Azure IoT Hub Connector in the Onomondo app.
Log in to the Onomondo app https://app.onomondo.com.
Go to 'Connectors' and click 'New connector'
Give your connector a name and select ‘Microsoft Azure IoT Hub Connector’ as the connector type.
Add the intermediate key and intermediate certificate to their respective fields.
Enter the intermediate key password into the ‘Password for intermediate key’ field.
Copy the 'ID Scope' from the overview in your Azure account into the 'DPS’s ID Scope' field.

Step 3: Attach your new connector to your SIMs
Now you’re ready to attach the Azure Connector to your SIMs.
In the Onomondo app, go to 'SIMs'. Find the SIM(s) you want to connect to and click 'Go to SIM'.
Click 'Edit SIM' (the pencil icon) and add your connector (e.g., Azure Connector).
Click 'Save'.
Your SIMs will now automatically provision in Azure IoT Hub when they come online, seamlessly and securely transmitting your data as messages.
Addendum: Getting started with Azure IoT Explorer
Since the Onomondo Azure SIM is natively connected to Azure IoT Hub, configuring Azure IoT Explorer requires just one simple step.
All you need to do is configure the connection in Azure IoT Explorer following this guide: Azure GitHub guide - Configure an IoT hub connection.
You’re now able to browse your automatically provisioned devices within Azure IoT Hub. There, you can view useful device information, such as the cellular network to which the Onomondo Azure SIM is connected:
Additionally, in the Telemetry section of Azure IoT Explorer, you can view messages sent from any device using the Onomondo Azure SIM:
