Apex.SqlClient.AzureIdentity

Apex SQL Client Azure Identity

Apex.SqlClient.AzureIdentity adds Microsoft Entra authentication to all Apex database drivers without adding Azure SDK dependencies to the base driver packages.

Pass a reusable TokenCredential; Apex requests a fresh cached token whenever a pool opens a new physical connection.

using Apex.SqlClient.AzureIdentity;
using Apex.PgClient;
using Azure.Identity;

TokenCredential credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
PgConnectOptions options = new PgConnectOptions
{
    Host = "example.postgres.database.azure.com",
    Database = "app",
}.UseAzureIdentity(
    credential,
    new AzureIdentityOptions { Username = "app-identity" });

await using PgPool pool = PgPool.Create(options);

The same UseAzureIdentity method is available for MySqlConnectOptions and MsSqlConnectOptions. PostgreSQL and MySQL use the standard Azure OSS database scope; SQL Server uses the Azure SQL scope and native TDS federated authentication.

When Username is omitted for PostgreSQL or MySQL, Apex infers it once from the database or Azure management token. Specify it explicitly if the principal's database role differs from its token claims.

Use DatabaseScope and ManagementScope overrides for sovereign clouds. Azure identity enables certificate-verifying TLS and does not support static access tokens in connection strings.
