Get the access token:

Connection:

var authority = "https://login.windows.net/<tenant-id>";
var resource = "https://southcentralus.asazure.windows.net";
var appId = "***";
var appSecret = "***";

AuthenticationContext authContext = new AuthenticationContext(authority);
ClientCredential credentials = new ClientCredential(appId, appSecret);
var task = authContext.AcquireTokenAsync(resource, credentials);
task.Wait();
string token = task.Result.AccessToken;

var connectionStringTemplate = "Provider=MSOLAP;Data Source=asazure://southcentralus.asazure.windows.net/xxxxxx;Initial Catalog= xxx;User ID=;Password={0};Persist Security Info=True;Impersonation Level=Impersonate";
var connectionString = string.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, connectionStringTemplate, token);

var server = new Server();
server.Connect(connectionString);

Best Regards
