Azure PostgreSQL, Entra ID Authentication and .NET
by Guest aaronpowell- 0 replies
- 1 view
I'm currently working on a project in which we are using Entra ID rather than a traditional Postgre username and password. This is a great way to secure your database and ensure that only the right people have access to it. Note: For the purpose of this article, I'm going to use Entra ID to refer to a user identity, as well as a managed identity such as a service principal, as the approach is the same in this context here. The above linked documentation covers how you would setup the Azure resource with Entra ID as the authentication mode, so I won't go over that here (also, you can configure that when you initial create the database, or using a Bicep script), inste…
