    About this task

    When you configure a bring your own key (BYOK) model provider in Generative AI Controller, it uses the connection and credential alias to send requests to your AI provider. The alias contains the base URL and API key for your provider. Some AI providers, such as Azure OpenAI, include an extra path segment in their web address that Generative AI Controller does not add by default. Without this segment, Generative AI Controller requests do not reach your provider correctly.

    The Resource Path field in the model configuration record is where you provide that extra segment.

    Note:
    The custom resource path configuration is currently supported for Azure OpenAI only.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > Connections & Credentials > Connections & Credential Aliases.
    2. Open the Generative AI provider record for Azure OpenAI.
    3. In the Connections Attributes related list, select the Chat Completions Resource Path attribute.
    4. Enter the custom resource path for your provider's endpoint in the Default value field.
      For example, for Azure OpenAI, if your full endpoint URL is: 
      https://<your-resource-name>.openai.azure.com/openai/deployments/<your-deployment-name>
      Enter the following resource path in the Default value field: 
      /openai/deployments/<your-deployment-name>
      Note:
      You can find your resource name and deployment name in the Azure portal.
    5. Select Update.

    Result

    Generative AI Controller now connects to your AI provider using the resource path you entered. Your agentic AI skills are ready to use this provider.
