Box 1: Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)

On Azure, managed identities eliminate the need for developers having to manage credentials by providing an identity for the Azure resource in Azure AD and using it to obtain Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tokens.

Box 2: a managed identity

A data factory can be associated with a managed identity for Azure resources, which represents this specific data factory. You can directly use this managed identity for Data Lake Storage Gen2 authentication, similar to using your own service principal. It allows this designated factory to access and copy data to or from your Data Lake Storage Gen2.

Note: The Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 connector supports the following authentication types.

✑ Account key authentication

✑ Service principal authentication

✑ Managed identities for Azure resources authentication
