Create an Azure Blob Connector

The Azure Blob connector allows SigningHub to connect with Microsoft Azure to provide data storage facility. By using this connector, SigningHub offers an alternative way of storing data on Azure Blob, in addition to conventional storage options i.e. Database and File System. For this, SigningHub needs to be registered with the Microsoft Azure platform.  

It is important to note that during SigningHub deployment, when you select the "Azure Storage" option from SigningHub Installer, an Azure Blob connector will be automatically created with the specified details as provided in the SigningHub Installer. However, these details are editable in the connector and can be updated as required. You can even create a new Azure Blob connector from SigningHub Admin.
