Authentication to Azure Database for MySQL

Products

• CA API Gateway

Issue/Introduction

When using GW11 software gateway to connect to  "Azure Database for MySQL - Flexible Server" which Authentication methods are supported ?

- Are you supporting MS Entra (former MS Azure AD) for DB authentication ?
- Is authentication via "Managed Identity" against the DB possible ? 

Resolution

Currently Gateway supports only password based authentication for MySQL SSG database .

LDAP Pluggable Authentication is only available in MySQL Enterprise Edition, and it's not supported by Gateway.
