Is it possible to authenticate for access to SSAS (on-premise) using Azure Active Directory credentials

Question

I have an on-premises 2019 (15) instance of SSAS in tabular mode. I also have an Azure Active Directory with multiple users.

When connecting to the SSAS instance through SSMS there are 3 available authentication methods:

1. Windows.
2. Active Directory - with password
3. Active Directory - universal with MFA

I am returned the following message when trying to authenticate with 2 or 3:

Cannot connect to xxxxx\xxxxxx. The integrated security 'ClaimsToken' is not supported for native connections. (Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient)

How do I make it possible for AAD users to authenticate for access to on-prem use of SSAS?

Answer 1

The modes you are looking at are available for Azure Sql Databases that have been protected with an Azure AD tenant.

On-prem SQL Server and its add-ons do not support authenticating with Azure AD.
