Hello Doc-tan ,

There are some requirements to validate connector by Microsoft. Direct connections to internal/company databases do not meet certification requirements.

You should

- Add OAuth

- document the API

- submit for certification

- pass validation

- sign legal agreements with Microsoft

To get more details you can check this documentation:

Is it possible to get the certificate without calling API? Because if I understand correctly, it asks me when I'm in validate.

I don't have any such call, only after connecting I check for access to our database.

Τhanks for the quick reply
