Azure AD is used by many cloud services and unifies all local authentication mechanisms used by Microsoft products providing one central identity repository and authentication management system available to different platforms, including Azure SQL and SQL Server on-premises. The variety of available authentication methods including single sign-on (SSO) and multifactor authentication (MFA), provides strong security support in the authentication area for different services used internally by Microsoft and by external customers. Azure AD authentication is the recommended authentication method for Azure SQL and SQL Server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"availability\">Availability&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all Azure AD authentication functionality available for Azure SQL is supported in the current version of Azure AD authentication for SQL Server 2022. That includes <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/azure-sql\/database\/authentication-azure-ad-only-authentication?view=azuresql&amp;tabs=azure-cli\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Azure AD-only authentication,<\/a> as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/azure-sql\/database\/authentication-azure-ad-user-assigned-managed-identity?view=azuresql\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">User and System Assigned Managed Identity (UMI and SMI),<\/a> which are not supported for the SQL Server 2022 release. In addition, Azure AD authentication is not part of the main SQL Server 2022 setup and must be enabled later as a separate step after SQL Server is installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"next-steps\">Next steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Download the &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/info.microsoft.com\/ww-landing-sql-server-2022.html\">SQL Server 2022 Preview<\/a> trial\u202fversion if you haven\u2019t already done so, and set up Azure AD authentication for your SQL Server instance.
