Error connecting Alteryx to Azure SQL

I am fetching data from the Azure SQL database. I am using Authentication=ActiveDirectoryPassword in my connection string. While doing so, my workflow is failing intermittently with the following error :
"Error opening connect string: Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server: Communication link failure\08S01 = 10054; Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server: TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
\08S01 = 10054"
If I change the Authentication mode to SQL, my workflow runs without any errors.
I am not able to get the root cause for this.

As mentioned earlier, this is an intermittent issue. The workflow fails occasionally with the above error. Most of the time the workflow executes successfully.


Can anyone help me with this?

@aswadv4 ,

 

Does your Azure has AD 2-step auth?

No, we don't have AD 2-step authentication.

Did you ever solve this issue? We are having the same but with Microsoft SQL client.
