Azure ARM Template for SQL Server not printing connectionString

I have a functional ARM template to deploy a simple SQL Server with a dependent SQL database. I am trying to output the connectionString but I am getting the following error:

{
  "code":"DeploymentOutputEvaluationFailed",
  "message":"Unable to evaluate template outputs: 'DatabaseConnectionString'. Please see error details and deployment operations. Please see https://aka.ms/arm-debug for usage details.",
  "details":[
    {
      "code":"DeploymentOutputEvaluationFailed",
      "target":"DatabaseConnectionString",
      "message":"The template output 'DatabaseConnectionString' is not valid: The language expression property 'administratorLoginPassword' doesn't exist, available properties are 'administratorLogin, version, state, fullyQualifiedDomainName'.."
    }
  ]
}

Can someone please see what I'm doing wrong. I am able to create the resources but there is no output of the connectionString and that's the error I get.

  1. I've checked to make sure my parameter names are correct.
  2. I've validated my template using Visual Studio and it says it is valid.

Solution

  • According to my test, The "reference(parameters('sqlserverName'))" does not has a property "administratorLoginPassword ", it just has properties"administratorLogin version state fullyQualifiedDomainName". If you need the password, please use "parameters('sqlserverAdminLoginPassword')". My test is below azuredeploy.json:

    },
    "sqlserverAdminLogin": {

    },
