Enable passwordless connectivity to Azure SQL database from Confluence using Managed identity - Microsoft Entra authentication for SQL Server

For example, when connecting to the AzureSQL database, use ActiveDirectoryMSI in the authentication parameter of the jdbc url string; MSI ensures only a dedicated server can connect to the corresponding database.

jdbc.url=jdbc:sqlserver://**.database.windows.net:1433;database=confluence;authentication=ActiveDirectoryMSI;trustServerCertificate=true;encrypt=true;
