Connect Azure SQL with Azure Active Directory Password

Hi Everyone,

 

I already check some message, and don't found any related about my question. Sorry if I'm miss one.

 

In fact, I just want to be able access data from Azure SQL by using Azure AD accounts.

 

From SMSS, I can connect successfuly to SQL database with AAD Password.

But with Power Bi when trying to connect to same connection string using my Azure AD account, I've an error message : "We couldn't authenticate with the credentials provided"

I can confirm, if using SQL authentication by using "Database" and not "Windows" option, I can connect OK. It's only when using Azure AD account.

 

So I'm wondering where I'm wrong somewhere, or if the scenario here is not yet available.

 

Thank you for your help,

Regards

Alex

Hi @alexgiraud,

Until now, Power BI don't support Azure AD Authentication, please review this feature request and vote it. Thanks for understanding, Power BI will become better after your support.

Best Regards,
Angelia
