Azure Data Studio 1.44 and later defaults to use the Sql Authentication Provider for Azure SQL connections and the Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL). This provider is used with Active Directory Interactive authentication mode and enables server-side resource endpoint integration when fetching access tokens.
Azure Data Studio 1.40 and later includes an important change to the Encrypt property, which is now enabled (set to True) by default for MSSQL provider connections, and SQL Server must be configured with TLS certificates signed by a trusted root certificate authority. In addition, the Encrypt and Trust server certificate properties have moved from the Advanced pane to the front of the Connection Details pane. Both properties have information icons to provide more detail on hover. The best practice is to support a trusted encrypted connection to the server.
For users connecting to on-premises SQL Server, or SQL Server in a Virtual Machine, if Encrypt is configured with a value of True, ensure that you have a certificate from a trusted certificate authority (e.g. not a self-signed certificate). Alternatively, you may choose to connect without encryption (Encrypt set to False), or to trust the server certificate (Encrypt set to True and Trust server certificate set to True).
You should review the options selected for Encrypt and Trust server certificate for existing connections in Azure Data Studio before connecting. In some scenarios, it may be necessary to configure a signed certificate, or change the value for one or both properties.
If you have previously been connecting to a SQL Server that doesn't have encrypted connections enable and would like to enable encryption, you'll be prompted to trust server certificate. You may choose to connect with the 'Trust Server Certificate' property enabled, or cancel and review client configuration to verify a valid server certificate is installed. For more information, please visit the SQL Server documentation.
In this quickstart, you'll use Azure Data Studio to connect to an Azure SQL Database server. You'll then run Transact-SQL (T-SQL) statements to create and query the TutorialDB database, which is used in other Azure Data Studio tutorials.
If your server doesn't have a firewall rule allowing Azure Data Studio to connect, the Create new firewall rule form opens. Complete the form to create a new firewall rule. For details, see Firewall rules.
This quickstart shows how to use Azure Data Studio to connect to a MySQL server (hosted on-premises, on VMs, on managed MySQL in other clouds or on Azure Database for MySQL - Flexible Server), create a database, and use SQL statements to insert and query data in the database.
Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 35 - An internal exception was caught)
Now, if that is a typo and MFA is NOT required to log into the SQL instances, I would review the logs. Look at both the SQL logs and the Windows/Linux server logs to see what they say happened around that time. It could be something (firewall, web filter, threat detection, etc) saw the connection as suspicious and shut it down. These likely won't be captured in the SQL or server logs, but doesn't hurt to look.
I'm running ADS on a MacOS so I can't run SSMS. To connect to our on-prem SQL Server database, I have to RDP into the actual Windows Server of the SQL Server instance and launch SSMS. I'm RDP into a Windows Server with a AD server credential and not my regular desktop Windows AD account. All SQL Server instances are configured to allow only Windows Server AD credential.
Over the weekend I was doing some development on a project at home. I've use SQL Server 2019 Developer edition on an old machine. Anyway, I was presented with a notice as I got into Azure Data Studio, about an update to ADS, which affects connections to SQL Server using ADS and also affecting Microsoft.Data.SqlClient, which would (I think) affect Entity Framework. It will require a certificate to make the connection. I think this is a good idea, but I can hear the ranting and raving of my coworkers, once they learn of this. Anyway, I'm wondering if any of you have encountered this and if I've interpreted this correctly? Here's the URL I was directed to when I tried connecting to my local SQL Server Dev Edition: -us/sql/azure-data-studio/connect?view=sql-server-ver16
I do not think this is a big deal either way. If the server has a self-signed certificate then just alter the connection to trust it. This just means the connection is encrypted but you are still open to man in the middle attacks. Obviously if the server has a CA certificate then make sure that Trust Server Certificate is set to false.
As mentioned it is only a different default for the latest version of ADS. As I presume you do not use CA certificates on your servers it is easy enough to right click and edit connection. Encrypt can then be set to false or Trust server certificate set to true.
Thank you everyone for your feedback. You're correct, Ken, that in our environment our databases are primarily on-prem, so using Trust server certificate is working. We are moving some of our databases into Azure VMs, so I'm not sure if that will change things or not.
ps FYI I have just learnt that our sysadmin team now have a CA server from which to issue certificates for our LAN. They are also happy to handle the certificate rotation. It seems this push towards multi level security is being driven by our insurers and the need for certification to handle certain types of third party data. As a similar nudge could happen in your environment it seems Microsoft were correct to change the default connection settings.
Testing of the connection through different devices which all returned the same error in case it was a firewall/vpn/organisational issue (deduced it was a server side issue, yet no matter how many times I look through all the settings, nothing seemed to work
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.)
I've created a SQL Image in Docker and I've connected Azure Data Studio to it. I'm trying to add an additional database. On Windows you would typically right clock on 'Database' and have the option 'New Database' but I don't seem to have that option on macOS. What am I doing wrong ? I have installed the 'SQL Database Projects' extension. I am trying to add an additional database
My question is, is there a way to change what the server connection uses as a default so I don't have to try to expand, fail, change auth type, and then connect? It is nice not having to manually create all of the connections to all of our subscriptions and sql servers and just have them load there and open them.
I have tried to log in using different accounts (server admin, Azure AD and another user account), none of which showed the tables under server connection. I have also restarted, refreshed and tried the Insider v1.42 build, all with the same outcome.
I tried Azure Data Studio on MacOS and MSSQL server on MacOS. The MSSQL server could not start because the host VM had incompatible kernel settings. I managed to run it on a Linux machine using your command and connect to it from Azure Data Studio on MacOS.
The trick then is to make sure you work with both objects. My function is basically broken up into two sections: the first section iterates over groups, determines if they are a child of another group, and writes a new connection group key:value pair to the settings object we read in ahead of time. The second part does the same thing, except for the servers.
I have a group of notebooks that I'd like to connect to a single server and database in the same ADS session, structured like chapters in a book. For a single notebook, I can specify and connect to a database, and execute code cells successfully.
When I open another notebook (appears as a new tab within the current ADS window, same folder and workspace), I do not see the connection I defined previously in the "attach to" dropdown list. I have to go through the connection wizard again to enter the server and authentication details.
Additional changes include improved loading of Azure resources and new Dedicated SQL Pools and Azure Synapse Analytics nodes in the Azure tree. Azure Data Studio 1.41 also provides the ability to customize the name of firewall rules for Azure SQL and adds support for connecting to a server alias (versus a server name).
A new area of focus in this release is Object Explorer (OE), and this will continue to be an area we improve upon in the next few releases. Those with serverless Azure SQL previously reported issues with folders not expanding correctly, and with databases being brought online (thus incurring costs) when it was not expected. Other users noted that expanding OE timed out after 45 seconds. We have addressed all these issues in this release, in addition to adding support for Ledger Views.
