Windows Authentication is not supported in Jedox Cloud. An alternative option is to create a specific user account with user rights on the SQL server, and to enter this username and password on the Jedox SQL Server Connection.
Connection to Azure SQL database
This component establishes a connection to Microsoft Azure SQL database, a managed cloud database which is provided as part of Microsoft Azure, for read- and write-access. It also supports Azure SQL Data Warehouse.
Connection to Azure SQL database using Active Directory Password authentication
To connect to the Azure SQL database using Active Directory password authentication, you have to add the following parameter to the Additional JDBC parameters of Jedox SQL connection:
- Parameter: authentication
- Value: ActiveDirectoryPassword
It is important to make sure that the user is correctly configured to access Azure SQL Server using Active Directory Password authentication as described in Microsoft documentation.
General remarks in order to establish a connection:
- Make sure the port is not blocked due to a firewall.
- Make sure that TCP/IP connection is enabled. This can be configured in the SQL Server Configuration Manager under "SQL Server Network Configuration" -> "Protocols for SQLEXPRESS". (names slightly different for other SQL Server editions).
- Make sure that MS SQL Server is using the port mentioned in the connection, e.g. port 1433. The ports can be configured in the SQL Server Configuration Manager under "SQL Server Network Configuration" -> "Protocols for SQLEXPRESS" -> "TCP/IP" -> "IP addresses". The port in the connection refers to the TCP Port under "IP All" (not to the TCP Dynamic port).
- Restart MS SQL server to apply changes
Connecting with an untrusted TLS/SSL certificate
We do not recommend connecting with an untrusted TLS/SSL certificate; users do so at their own risk. To connect insecurely, add one or both of the following parameters to the Additional JDBC parameters field in connection settings:
- trustServerCertificate with value true: this setting ignores verification of the TLS/SSL certificate presented by the server.
- encrypt with value false: this option forces the connection to use an unencrypted protocol, independent of whether the identity of the server is verified or not.
