How to create a BlobServiceClient with Service Principle or Linked Service to a Storage Account

Question

I could create BlobServiceClient with storage account connection string by using the solution below, but in our synapse workspace, I only have a linked service created with service principle could connect to the storage account. So do you know how could I create the BlobServiceClient with linked service or service principle?

from azure.storage.blob import BlobServiceClient
   blob_service_client = BlobServiceClient.from_connection_string(self.connection_string)

Hi Shao Peng Sun I hope I can help you with this question. If i understand you correctly, you want to use the blobserviceclient for a snypase workspace. In this case, as already described by you, the right way is to create the Azure Storage Account as a linked service. The linked service can be configured for the complete storage account or with a SAS token for a specific time and range. For more info see here: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/blob/main/articles/data-factory/v1/data-factory-azure-blob-connector.md#linked-service-properties https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/blob/main/articles/data-factory/v1/includes/data-factory-azure-storage-linked-services.md Object Class of a LinkedService and AzureStorageLinkedService Class: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/quickstart-create-data-factory-python#create-a-linked-service https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.azure.management.datafactory.models.linkedservice?view=azure-dotnet https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.azure.management.datafactory.models.azurestoragelinkedservice?view=azure-dotnet As you can see, there is no property to ingest a BlobServiceClient.
