Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage connection

Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS) connector enables you to access and interact with your ADLS Gen2 storage using the ADLS Gen2 REST APIs.

The Microsoft ADLS connector's connection represents a single account including login credentials. If you have multiple systems, you need a separate connection for each. The connector supports the OAuth 2.0 authentication type.

Test Connection

You can test your connection settings before you use or save the connection in a process. The Test Connection ensures that your specified settings are correct, valid, and accessible. If the test connection is successful, you can save the connection. Otherwise, review and correct any incorrect settings, then test again.

Attention

You can only run the Test Connection against containers associated with your account (local runtimes, runtime clusters, and runtime clouds).
