Token-based authentication support for Azure SQL DB using Azure AD auth

  • [アーティクル]

SQL Server security team would like to announce token based authentication support for Azure SQL DB V12 authentication using Azure Active Directory (AD). Currently we support two authentication methods: Azure AD user/password and Azure AD integrated authentication supporting Windows credentials ( see https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/sql-database-aad-authentication/ ). The new token-based authentication method allows middle-tier services to obtain a token from Azure AD and use it to connect to Azure SQL Database. It enables more sophisticated scenarios, including certificate-based authentication. For more details, see below the attached Readme document and the zip file that contains a simple code example connecting to Azure SQL DB using token based authentication. It requires Visual Studio 2015 with .NET 4.6 (or higher) and ADALSQL.dll (see also the client setup requirement in the main MSDN document for Azure AD authentication indicted above). For further questions on this topic please contact SQLAzureADAuth@microsoft.com alias.

      @AK On the offchance you're still stuck with this: we found that we needed to explicitly grant our application access to the DB through it's own account. It wasn't possible to take advantage of any group memberships

        You have to explicitly create a user in the database for the app

            Unfortunately, for now we only have the Windows version available. In the future we may create a version available for other platforms

        One immediate issue to check is the following. To register the certificate with Azure AD you have to be the AAD admin.If you follow the exact description and the code in this blog and still see the same problem, please contact MS support and open a support ticket.

    Will token based authentication be coming to the non-PaaS versions of SQL 2016?
