SSRS Azure SQL Database Active Directory – Universal with MFA

Posted on

Question :

Does anyone know when support for Active Directory – Universal with MFA will be included in Reporting Services?

It’s available in SSMS.

Visual Studio 2017 Data Source Properties

SSRS data source Properties

Reporting Server Data Source Properties

Answer :

The MFA auth flow is interactive. For me, for instance, it opens a browser window, displays an code, and I get a notification on my phone to approve the login.

So you can’t use it in background services like SSRS.

Use OLEDB connector and type the connection string directly:

Provider=MSOLEDBSQL;Data Source=myServer;Initial Catalog=myDatabase;Authentication=ActiveDirectoryInteractive;User ID=myUserName;Use Encryption for Data=true;
