run job in HDInsight compute linked service

Question

is username and password is the only way to submit job to HDInsight cluster? is managed identity or msi or service principal supported?

Added question: can HDI team build API which uses AAD tokens as password instead of user input password? we have threat model review for this and we wanted to go away from storing this user input "password" secret in the KV.

Hello @Bill Kan ,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A platform.

Unfortunately, HDInsight compute linked service doesn't support MSI or Service principle.

Note: Currently the HDInsight cluster is only supported by a service account, although HDInsight does support create/delete of the cluster using a managed Identity.
