Work around for Azure vault in DataflowsGen2 to store source and destination

[DSanthoshKumar]

Hi,

We are using SQLServer server, username and password details manually to connect source from each DataflowsGen2 in fabric.

from the below link we understand that Azure key vault is not supported.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/data-factory/data-factory-limitations#data-pipeline-limitat...

can you suggest the work around on changing server,username and password so that it should reflect to all DataflowsGen2 sources.

Hi @DSanthoshKumar ,

Since Dataflow Gen2 in Microsoft Fabric doesn't support Azure Key Vault, I think you can use the parameters in Dataflows Gen2 to store server, username, and password details.

If you're also using Azure Data Factory, you can create a linked service in ADF that connects to SQL Server. Then, use this linked service in DataflowsGen2.

Of course, you can also check out this document for more information: Enable Azure Key Vault for airflow - Azure Data Factory | Microsoft Learn

Hi!

im not sure I follow. What's the expectation or the specific gap that you're trying to address?

currently the destination in a Dataflow Gen2 is fully driven by the UI. It can't be dynamically passed.
