Is there a way to AUTHENTICATE to Azure Sql DB with DBeaver with MFA enabled? Our organization use Azure Active Directory Universal - Universal with MFA to authenticate user to the DBs. Is there a way to use Dbeaver instead of MSSMS?
The tool uses the jdbc driver to connect azure SQL. Now, the driver does not support Azure AD with MFA. So we have no way to do these. For more details, please refer to here and here

I've got an Azure App Service that needs access to a classic SQL Server (non-Azure SQL, not SQL Managed Instance) and I'd prefer to do this via System Managed Identity. This is enabled on the App Service and a corresponding Enterprise Application is created on Azure AD.
The SQL Server is also connected to this Azure AD and User accounts on the AD already have access to the database. However I can't find how to create a login for the Enterprise Application. If this was an Azure SQL database I could do it with CREATE LOGIN [AZUREAD\app] FROM EXTERNAL PROVIDER but this does not work on a classic SQL Server, only on Azure SQL/MI.
A solution would be to use SQL accounts and reference the login/password in the connection strings, but as mentioned I'd much rather use Azure AD for authentication.
To answer my own question: SQL Server 2022 includes Azure AD authentication Link
Using integrated security or an access token it will be possible to authenticate with an App Registration.
This is currently in preview with no RTM date specified.
Update
Azure Functions need to access on-prem MS SQL Databases via Azure Managed Identity.
Does Azure Managed Identity support this?
Update
Managed identities allows Azure resources to authenticate or authorize themselves with other supported Azure resources.
On-Premise MS SQL Server supports two authentication modes, Windows authentication mode and mixed mode.
Azure Managed Identity does not support your case - Azure Function connection to On-Premise MS SQL Server.

We're using MicroStrategy on-premises to access a warehouse in Snowflake. All the users connecting to Snowflake are authenticated through Azure AD. We want the same for MicroStrategy instead of using a local Snowflake account.
Is that possible?
Right now, when a user wants to connect through ODBC, we set up the Authenticator = ExternalBrowser. So when they use any software, the browser pops up for the authentication and then they continue to do their thing.
How can I set the ODBC of the MicroStrategy server to use the Azure AD authentication, without using the browser and by specifying the username we created for MicroStrategy in our AD.
Thanks,
JFS.
This likely requires you to configure MicroStrategy, Snowflake, and Azure AD to leverage OAuth2.
MicroStrategy has a how to guide here:

Currently I have everything on premise - .NET Core 3.0 API and SQL Server database.
Azure AD/Service account are configured in IIS and database has given access to the service account.
All requests use that Azure AD service account.
Now we are planning for an Azure migration. API is published in App Services.
Now I want to use the same Azure AD account to connect to an Azure SQL Server database.
How should I do that?
Don't send me Microsoft links, those are having toooo much info.
Tell what and how to do configuration in Azure SQL and App Services.
Any help is appreciated.
Now I want to use the same AD account to connect to an Azure SQL Server database.
AD accounts can't connect to Azure SQL Database. Only SQL and Azure Active Directory (AAD) Logins/Users.
There are some options, but there's a clear best-practice: Provision a Managed Service Identity (MSI) for your Azure App Service Application and use that to connect to SQL Server.
Here is a simple tutorial for how you should integrate App Service and Azure SQL Database:

I have an on-premises 2019 (15) instance of SSAS in tabular mode. I also have an Azure Active Directory with multiple users.
When connecting to the SSAS instance through SSMS there are 3 available authentication methods:
Windows.
Active Directory - with password
Active Directory - universal with MFA
I am returned the following message when trying to authenticate with 2 or 3:
Cannot connect to xxxxx\xxxxxx. The integrated security 'ClaimsToken'
is not supported for native connections.
(Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient)
How do I make it possible for AAD users to authenticate for access to on-prem use of SSAS?
The modes you are looking at are available for Azure Sql Databases that have been protected with an Azure AD tenant.
On-prem SQL Server and its add-ons do not support authenticating with Azure AD.
