Multi-factor authentication to connect to Azure database 


Trying to connect to Azure SQL DB (using Active Directory - Password), but every time trying to connect to the DB via Spotfire gets the error : ERROR MESSAGE:
Cannot connect to '<servername>.database.windows.net'.
System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> AdalException: AADSTS50076

If the data source is set to use MFA, then currently it appears there is not possible to access via SQL Server Connector , Looks like Currently only options to authenticate are through windows authentication which will take  windows credentials or active directory- integrated if using azure active directory or active directory-password. Looking for a way to do a multi-step verification for the Azure database and prefer using AD accounts or service accounts.

    One of our customers is also facing this problem.

    They can not connect to MS SQL Server (configured with Entra ID + MFA authentication) using "Active Directory - Password".

    The customer says that PowerBI can do this without problems.
