Using Azure SQL Managed Instance, why does Proxy/Redirect setting show as different under Properties and Networking?

Question

Using Azure SQL Managed Instance, why does Proxy/Redirect setting show as different under Properties and Networking?

MartinHerbener-7973 95

Using Azure SQL Managed Instance, viewing through portal.azure.com, on the Settings->Properties blade the value for "Connection type (VNet-local endpoint)" shows as "Redirect (Default)", but for the same MI on the Security->Networking blade the value for "Connection type (VNet-local endpoint)" shows as "Proxy".

Why are these different?

thanks

Manoj,

I appreciate the quick response, and that does help me move forward.

However, this behavior (Properties page showing "recommended/default connection policy for the platform, not necessarily what your instance is configured to use today.") seems like a defect. I assume that characteristic (showing default, not current) does not apply to all the values shown (for instance, Tier or Hardware Generation)? Is there an intention to change the behavior for this property to match others? Or should I submit a formal bug report somewhere?

thanks

Hi MartinHerbener-7973,

I validated this using PowerShell, and the results match what you’re seeing. The ProxyOverride property returned Redirect, which confirms the Networking blade shows the actual configuration. The Properties blade displays the default recommendation, not the live setting.

This behavior is consistent across environments and not specific to your tenant. If you’d like the Properties blade to reflect the actual configuration (similar to other properties like Tier or Hardware Generation), the best way forward is to submit feedback through the Azure Portal:
