Overview

You can use Azure Active Directory authentication or Microsoft SQL Server authentication to connect to Microsoft Azure Synapse SQL.
Before you create a Microsoft Azure Synapse SQL connection, complete the following prerequisite tasks:
  1. Configure Azure Active Directory (AAD) authentication to connect to Microsoft Azure Synapse SQL.
  2. Obtain the JDBC URL or connection string from Microsoft Azure Synapse SQL.
  3. Obtain the credentials for shared key authentication and service principal authentication to connect to Azure storage to stage the files:
    • Shared key authentication - Obtain the account name and account key to connect to Microsoft Azure Blob Storage or Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2.
    • Service principal authentication - Applicable to Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2. Register an application in the Azure Active Directory, generate a client secret, and then assign the Storage Blob Contributor role to the application.
