I am trying to read data on an Azure SQL instance from an Azure Databricks workspace, avoiding using username/password personal credentials for automated, regular data fetch & analysis. I thought using a managed identity would do the job, however it looks to be less smooth than with Azure Functions or Web Services. Is this supported in Databricks?

I would need environment variables that do not exist in the Databricks instance, like IDENTITY_ENDPOINT and IDENTITY_HEADER, following the doc https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/overview-managed-identity

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

  • Hi @Jokin, have you managed to connect? I'm facing the same use case but I can not find any good doc about it. – George Fandango Apr 20 '22 at 11:54
  • Hi @GeorgeFandango, I have not solved it, and I have been using SQL authentication instead with the credentials stored as secret in databricks. If you come up with a bettre solution, please share :) – Jokin Apr 21 '22 at 12:30
