Can we connect ADX to Databricks, without using App Registration.?

Question

I am trying to Access ADX data into Databricks, but failing to configure connection between databricks and ADX. I don't have permissions to use App registration. Is there any way to do with managed identity or any other alternative.

Answer 1

@Ram Ahuja, Roma - Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

Managed identity cannot be used to connect Azure Databricks with Azure Data Explorer (ADX) directly.

You can use Azure Data Explorer Spark connector enables you to authenticate with Microsoft Entra ID using one of the following methods:

• An Microsoft Entra application
• An Microsoft Entra access token
• Device authentication (for non-production scenarios)
• An Azure Key Vault To access the Key Vault resource, install the azure-keyvault package and provide application credentials.

For more details, refer to Azure Data Explorer Connector for Apache Spark.
