Integrate Azure Database for MySQL with Service Connector

For .NET, there's not a plugin or library to support passwordless connections. You can get an access token for the managed identity or service principal using client library like Azure.Identity. Then you can use the access token as the password to connect to the database. When using the code below, uncomment the part of the code snippet for the authentication type you want to use.

using Azure.Core;
using Azure.Identity;
using MySqlConnector;

// Uncomment the following lines corresponding to the authentication type you want to use.
// For system-assigned managed identity.
// var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();

// For user-assigned managed identity.
// var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential(
//     new DefaultAzureCredentialOptions
//     {
//         ManagedIdentityClientId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_MYSQL_CLIENTID");
//     });

// For service principal.
// var tenantId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_MYSQL_TENANTID");
// var clientId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_MYSQL_CLIENTID");
// var clientSecret = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_MYSQL_CLIENTSECRET");
// var credential = new ClientSecretCredential(tenantId, clientId, clientSecret);

var tokenRequestContext = new TokenRequestContext(
    new[] { "https://ossrdbms-aad.database.windows.net/.default" });
AccessToken accessToken = await credential.GetTokenAsync(tokenRequestContext);
// Open a connection to the MySQL server using the access token.
string connectionString =
    $"{Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_MYSQL_CONNECTIONSTRING")};Password={accessToken.Token}";

using var connection = new MySqlConnection(connectionString);
Console.WriteLine("Opening connection using access token...");
await connection.OpenAsync();

// do something

1. Add the following dependencies in your pom.xml file:

   <dependency>
       <groupId>mysql</groupId>
       <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
       <version>8.0.30</version>
   </dependency>
   <dependency>
       <groupId>com.azure</groupId>
       <artifactId>azure-identity-extensions</artifactId>
       <version>1.1.5</version>
   </dependency>
   

2. Get the connection string from the environment variable, and add the plugin name to connect to the database:

   String url = System.getenv("AZURE_MYSQL_CONNECTIONSTRING");  
   String pluginName = "com.azure.identity.extensions.jdbc.mysql.AzureMysqlAuthenticationPlugin";
   Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url + "&defaultAuthenticationPlugin=" +
       pluginName + "&authenticationPlugins=" + pluginName);
   

For more information, see Use Java and JDBC with Azure Database for MySQL - Flexible Server.

For a Spring application, if you create a connection with option --client-type springboot, Service Connector sets the properties spring.datasource.azure.passwordless-enabled, spring.datasource.url, and spring.datasource.username to Azure Spring Apps.

Update your application following the tutorial Connect an Azure Database for MySQL instance to your application in Azure Spring Apps. Remember to remove the spring.datasource.password configuration property if it was set before and add the correct dependencies to your Spring application.

// Uncomment the following lines corresponding to the authentication type you want to use.
// For system-assigned managed identity.
// var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();

// For user-assigned managed identity.
// var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential(
//     new DefaultAzureCredentialOptions
//     {
//         ManagedIdentityClientId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_MYSQL_CLIENTID");
//     });

// For service principal.
// var tenantId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_MYSQL_TENANTID");
// var clientId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_MYSQL_CLIENTID");
// var clientSecret = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_MYSQL_CLIENTSECRET");
// var credential = new ClientSecretCredential(tenantId, clientId, clientSecret);

var tokenRequestContext = new TokenRequestContext(
    new[] { "https://ossrdbms-aad.database.windows.net/.default" });
AccessToken accessToken = await credential.GetTokenAsync(tokenRequestContext);
// Open a connection to the MySQL server using the access token.
string connectionString =
    $"{Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_MYSQL_CONNECTIONSTRING")};Password={accessToken.Token}";

using var connection = new MySqlConnection(connectionString);
Console.WriteLine("Opening connection using access token...");
await connection.OpenAsync();

// do something

1. Add the following dependencies in your pom.xml file:

   <dependency>
       <groupId>mysql</groupId>
       <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>

For other languages, use the connection properties that Service Connector sets to the environment variables to connect the database. For environment variable details, see Integrate Azure Database for MySQL with Service Connector.

For .NET, there's not a plugin or library to support passwordless connections. You can get an access token for the managed identity or service principal using client library like Azure.Identity. Then you can use the access token as the password to connect to the database. When using the code below, uncomment the part of the code snippet for the authentication type you want to use.

using Azure.Core;
using Azure.Identity;
using MySqlConnector;

// Uncomment the following lines corresponding to the authentication type you want to use.
// For system-assigned managed identity.
// var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();

// For user-assigned managed identity.
// var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential(
//     new DefaultAzureCredentialOptions
//     {
//         ManagedIdentityClientId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_MYSQL_CLIENTID");
//     });

// For service principal.
// var tenantId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_MYSQL_TENANTID");
// var clientId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_MYSQL_CLIENTID");
// var clientSecret = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_MYSQL_CLIENTSECRET");
// var credential = new ClientSecretCredential(tenantId, clientId, clientSecret);

var tokenRequestContext = new TokenRequestContext(
    new[] { "https://ossrdbms-aad.database.windows.net/.default" });
AccessToken accessToken = await credential.GetTokenAsync(tokenRequestContext);
// Open a connection to the MySQL server using the access token.
string connectionString =
    $"{Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_MYSQL_CONNECTIONSTRING")};Password={accessToken.Token}";

using var connection = new MySqlConnection(connectionString);
Console.WriteLine("Opening connection using access token...");
await connection.OpenAsync();

// do something

1. Add the following dependencies in your pom.xml file:

   <dependency>
       <groupId>mysql</groupId>
       <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
       <version>8.0.30</version>
   </dependency>
   <dependency>
       <groupId>com.azure</groupId>
       <artifactId>azure-identity-extensions</artifactId>
       <version>1.1.5</version>
   </dependency>
   

2. Get the connection string from the environment variable, and add the plugin name to connect to the database:

   String url = System.getenv("AZURE_MYSQL_CONNECTIONSTRING");  
   String pluginName = "com.azure.identity.extensions.jdbc.mysql.AzureMysqlAuthenticationPlugin";
   Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url + "&defaultAuthenticationPlugin=" +
       pluginName + "&authenticationPlugins=" + pluginName);
   

For more information, see Use Java and JDBC with Azure Database for MySQL - Flexible Server.

For a Spring application, if you create a connection with option --client-type springboot, Service Connector sets the properties spring.datasource.azure.passwordless-enabled, spring.datasource.url, and spring.datasource.username to Azure Spring Apps.

Update your application following the tutorial Connect an Azure Database for MySQL instance to your application in Azure Spring Apps. Remember to remove the spring.datasource.password configuration property if it was set before and add the correct dependencies to your Spring application.
