Hi all,

I would like to request an addition to the configuration tool/ server.hsconf.

More and more we run into customers hosting there OutSystem platform in Azure resources segmented in a dev/tst, acc and prod subscriptions, resource groups, ect…. Each segment with its own servers, scale sets and a SQL managed instances to provide database needs. With an Azure Active Directory tenant to provide users authentication for the platform, and no “real” AD in sight.

On the application side this handled beautifully by OutSystems. But in the situation above we are currently forced to use SQL authentication because there is no option to manage user authentication for the back end via ADD.

Can you please add the option to use ADD users, service principals and/or managed identities as an authentication mechanism in the connection between the platform and an ASMI?! This for manageability and security benefits.

Thanks in advance!

I second this. SQL Authentication is considered a legacy auth-method by Microsoft. Due to governance and security policies customers wish to use AAD authentication towards Azure SQL Servers/databases.
