ODBC connection with MFA (multi factor authentication) support - Azure

Inactive User
Not applicable

I have an Azure environment that uses a multi factor authentication (MFA) to connect to the SQL instance. This connection also requires to specify the tenant ID.

 

The most have is to support, in any way, the MFA requirement (I get a message via Microsoft Authenticator in my phone) via a connection that supports the elements shown in the images below. 

 

Have somebody found this issue and a way to solve / work around it?

 

Thanks!

@Inactive User Yes this is possible. You would have to download the SQL Server driver that supports MFA. I belieive ODBC Driver 17 supports MFA. The connection string would look something like this:

 

odbc:Driver={ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server};Server=tcp:sql.database.windows.net,1433;Database=DATA_MART;Encrypt=yes;TrustServerCertificate=no;Connection Timeout=30;Authentication=ActiveDirectoryInteractive;UID=;
