Guidance on how to do password-less login using Azure Service Principal or Managed Identity #1011

Description

@sivawba

Issue

We are trying to port a Rails application to Azure cloud and would like to use Azure Service Principal or Managed Identity instead of the database.yml username/password, while connecting to Azure SQL-MI

Is it possible to do this without specifying username/password in database.yml by using access_token from Azure IMDS endpoint as shown here for Python?

Any pointers on how to accomplish this would be greatly helpful. Thanks again for a great library that is helping us move forward with the port.

Expected behavior

Login to Azure SQLServer MI without providing username/password in database.yml

Actual behavior

Not sure how to proceed or whether this can be done
