OData Connection Manager

Applies to: SQL Server SSIS Integration Runtime in Azure Data Factory

Connect to an OData data source with an OData connection manager. An OData Source component uses an OData connection manager to connect to an OData data source and consume data from the service. For more info, see OData Source.

Adding an OData Connection Manager to an SSIS Package

You can add a new OData connection manager to an SSIS package in three ways:

• Click the New... button in the OData Source Editor

• Right-click the Connection Managers folder in Solution Explorer, and then click New Connection Manager. Select ODATA for Connection manager type.

• Right-click in the Connection Managers pane at the bottom of the package designer, and then select New Connection. Select ODATA for Connection manager type.

Note

Make sure that the international settings language in your Visual Studio / SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) is aligned to the default language of the target SQL Server instance where the SSIS packages are deployed.

Connection Manager Authentication

The OData connection manager supports five modes of authentication.

• Windows Authentication

• Basic Authentication (with username and password)

• Microsoft Dynamics AX Online (with username and password)

• Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online (with username and password)

• Microsoft Online Services (with username and password)

For anonymous access, select the Windows Authentication option.

To connect to Microsoft Dynamics AX Online or Microsoft Dynamics CRM online, you can't use the Microsoft Online Services authentication option. You also can't use any option that's configured for multi-factor authentication. Currently Modern authentication is not supported.

Specifying and Securing Credentials

If the OData service requires basic authentication, you can specify a username and password in the OData Connection Manager Editor. The values you enter in the editor are persisted in the package. The password value is encrypted according to the package protection level.

There are several ways to parameterize the username and password values or to store them outside the package. For example, you can use parameters, or set the connection manager properties directly when you run the package from SQL Server Management Studio.
