Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 Connection Properties

Use a Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 connection to access a Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2.

The order of the connection properties might vary depending on the tool where you view them.

You can create and manage a Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 connection in the Administrator tool or the Developer tool. The following table describes the Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 connection properties:

Property	Description
Name	The name of the connection. The name is not case sensitive and must be unique within the domain. You can change this property after you create the connection. The name cannot exceed 128 characters, contain spaces, or contain the following special characters: ~ ` ! $ % ^ & * ( ) - + = { [ } ] \| \ : ; " ' < , > . ? /
ID	String that the Data Integration Service uses to identify the connection. The ID is not case sensitive. It must be 255 characters or less and must be unique in the domain. You cannot change this property after you create the connection. Default value is the connection name.
Description	The description of the connection. The description cannot exceed 4,000 characters.
Location	The domain where you want to create the connection.
Type	The connection type. Select Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2.

The following table describes the properties for metadata access:

Property	Description
Account Name	The Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account name or the service name.
Client ID	The ID of your application to complete the OAuth Authentication in the Azure Active Directory (AD).
Client Secret	The client secret key to complete the OAuth Authentication in the Azure AD.
Tenant ID	The Directory ID of the Azure AD.
File System Name	The name of an existing file system in the Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2.
Directory Path	The path of an existing directory without the file system name. There is no default directory. You can select one of the following syntax: / for root directory. /dir1 dir1/dir2

For more information about creating a client ID, client secret, tenant ID, and file system name, contact the Azure administrator or see Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 documentation.
