Disabled API key authentication for Azure AI Search service

Question

Disabled API key authentication for Azure AI Search service

lakshmi 816

Can we use the same Azure search with role-based keys for language service support and Azure open AI service.

Currently, we are using a custom question-answering service for QnA support and using Azure search with keys of api keys.

Now we are planning to integrate azure open AI service with the bot for private data support and gpt support for fetching answers from internet . But while applying for private netwok for azure search we have seen the below option to disable API keys and instead use Role based access control.

We have tried to access the existing language service after changing the access control to role-based but we are not able to access the QnA pairs in custom question answering projects.

Can we use the same azure search with Role based access control for both open ai and language service.

Hi
lakshmi

Azure Search and Azure OpenAI Service use different access control mechanisms and they don't natively support the same role-based access control (RBAC) model. Azure Search typically uses API keys for access control, while Azure OpenAI Service uses Azure AD (Azure Active Directory) for authentication.

Azure Search typically uses API keys or RBAC for management, while Azure OpenAI Service uses Azure AD for authentication. If you've switched Azure Search to RBAC, ensure correct RBAC roles for management but continue using API keys for data access. Azure OpenAI Service uses Azure AD authentication and API keys.

If this helps kindly accept the answer thanks much.

Thanks for the response.

So language service will only support API key access control of azure search?

We have tried to change the access control to RBAC and while loading the QnA pair we are getting the below information.

This error message you're encountering might be related to the fact that RBAC has been configured for managing the Azure Search service but might not be directly applicable to data access. If you've switched to RBAC for access control and are having trouble loading QnA pairs, it's possible that the RBAC roles assigned to your application might not have the necessary permissions for data access. so you can check

Ensure that the RBAC roles assigned to the application have the necessary permissions for data access. like Search Query Contributor or other roles related to data querying.

If it helps kindly accept thanks again
