Support for EntraID authentiation to Azure PostgreSQL flexible server
Does anyone know if there are plans to introduce EntraID authentication for Azure PostgreSQL flexible server any time soon? As far as i can tell the only option now is to connect via username and password. Azure data studio already has this option.
Hi peter75 ,
As of now, you can already use Microsoft Entra ID authentication with Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server.

Hi peter75
As per my knoweledge , as of now, Azure PostgreSQL Flexible Server only supports username and password authentication. There is no confirmed timeline for introducing Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) authentication. Keep an eye on Azure updates for future announcements.

Please Subscribe my YouTube for Beginners/Advance Concepts: https://youtube.com/@biconcepts?si=04iw9SYI2HN80HKSThanks for the info. But it begs the question: why bother promoting the entra integration when none of the user facing tooling seems to support it?
