Hi all, I am trying to use data in Microsoft Fabric which only allows Windows authentification. As of my understanding, the data flows gen2 do not support windows authentification. What would be different options to use this data within Fabric? Will Windows authentification be at some point available for the dataflows gen2?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Windows is available in Dataflow Gen2 as long as you create a gateway connection.
Would you mind sharing what connector you're trying to use to connect your your source? If it's not showing the windows authentication kind it might be because of a limitation of the connector or that there's no gateway set for that Dataflow

Hi, thanks for the input. After a successful gateway setup, we are now able to work with the data in Fabric!
