I have Django web app, with an SQL server db, deployed on my Azure subscription. I need to connect/authenticate my Web App to SQL server (still on my Azure subscription) but I can't using username-password on my code.

How can I do it? By key vault? By Azure AD? Other ways?

Thanks!

    The best approach would be to use the managed identities. Your webapp can connect to the database using a AAD identity automatically provided by Azure. This is secure, without you needing to implement all kinds of difficult set-up.

    have a look at https://github.com/Azure-Samples/msdocs-django-web-app-managed-identity/blob/main/README.md for some examples.
