Ensure that Microsoft Entra authentication is Configured for SQL Servers
Why This Matters
Relying on SQL Server authentication creates a fragmented identity management approach, forcing you to manage credentials across multiple database servers. This increases the risk of credential sprawl and makes it harder to enforce consistent password policies. Microsoft Entra authentication centralizes identity management, simplifies permission control, and supports advanced security features like Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
What Aether365 Checks
This check verifies that each Azure SQL Server has a Microsoft Entra administrator configured. It appears in the Aether365 dashboard under azure-sql-server checks.
