Using the Azure AD Credentials Provider

You can configure the connector to authenticate the connection using credentials obtained from the Azure AD credentials provider. To do this, you must specify information about the Azure AD service, such as the Client ID and Secret and the Tenant ID.

To configure authentication using Azure AD:

  1. To access authentication options, open the ODBC Data Source Administrator where you created the DSN, then select the DSN, then click Configure, and then click Authentication Options.
  2. From the Authentication Type drop-down list, select AzureAD.
  3. In the User field, type the user name that you use to access the Azure AD server.
  4. In the Password field, type the password corresponding to the user name that you provided in the previous step.
  5. To encrypt your credentials, click Password Options and then select one of the following:
    • If the credentials are used only by the current Windows user, select Current User Only.
    • Or, if the credentials are used by all users on the current Windows machine, select All Users Of This Machine.
  6. Optionally, in the Preferred Role field, type the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the role that you want to assume when authenticated through Azure AD.
  7. Optionally, in the Session Duration field, type the duration, in seconds, of the role session.
  8. In the Tenant ID field, type the Azure AD-provided unique ID associated with your Athena application.
  9. In the Client ID field, type the Client ID to use when authenticating the connection using the Azure AD service.
  10. In the Client Secret field, type the Client Secret to use when authenticating the connection using the Azure AD service.
  11. To save your settings and close the Authentication Options dialog box, click OK.
