Status Planned for future release

Azure Blob Storage Service Principal

Request that IBM update the object store client adapter to support authentication via Microsoft Entra id service principal. Unlike the current configuration option which supports secret key or account key, the enhancement would support configuring service principal. This should support the service principal name, client id, client tenet, and client secret for configuration. This will allow for compliant access to our Azure services with role definition through Azure RBAC.

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. Your request may not be delivered within the release currently under development, but the theme aligns with our current roadmap and your request is now a candidate for a future generally available (GA) release.

    If you have any additional feedback or thoughts in the meantime, or if there is anything else I can do, please do not hesitate to reply to this message to continue the conversation.
