Connecting Azure Fabric to Azure Flexible Postgres using Service Principal

[AhmedGamalHamdy]

Hi everyone,

I have an Azure Fabric capacity set up in my subscription, and I need to connect it to one of our Azure PostgreSQL Flexible Server instances in the dev environment.

• The PostgreSQL instance has firewall rules in place.
• I am using a Service Principal for authentication.
• I have successfully logged in locally using a token generated by the Service Principal.
• I have added the Service Principal as a Microsoft Entra Admin for the PostgreSQL instance.
• However, I am facing issues when trying to connect through Fabric.

I have attached a screenshot of the error message I am getting.

Could anyone advise on the best approach to authenticate and connect Fabric to Azure PostgreSQL Flexible Server using a Service Principal?
Are there any additional configurations or permissions I need to set up on Fabric or PostgreSQL?

Thanks in advance!

Hello @AhmedGamalHamdy 

did you tried adding Fabric’s outbound IP ranges for your region to PostgreSQL’s firewall rules

and Deploy Fabric capacity in the same VNet as the PostgreSQL server
