Synetec.Data.SqlClient.ManagedIdentity

Host-side SqlAuthenticationProvider for Azure SQL "Active Directory Managed Identity" authentication, for use with Microsoft.Data.SqlClient 7.0+.

Why this exists

Microsoft.Data.SqlClient 7.0 removed built-in support for the ActiveDirectoryManagedIdentity connection-string authentication method from the core package. It's now resolved via reflection into Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.Extensions.Azure, whose dependency chain (Microsoft.Identity.Client.Broker → Microsoft.Identity.Client.NativeInterop) wraps the Windows WAM broker and has no Linux support. The first connection that needs AD auth triggers SqlAuthenticationProviderManager's static constructor, which throws TypeInitializationException on Linux — and because that registry is a process-wide static, the crash poisons every DbContext in the process for its remaining lifetime.

This package registers a lightweight provider that wraps Azure.Identity's ManagedIdentityCredential directly, with no Broker/MSAL dependency involved.

Usage

If your connection string uses Authentication=Active Directory Managed Identity (or another Azure AD auth method resolved by this provider) with Microsoft.Data.SqlClient 7.0+, call SqlAuthenticationProviderRegistration.RegisterManagedIdentity() as the first statement in your Program.cs, before builder.Build() or any DbContext/SqlConnection use:

using Synetec.Data.SqlClient.ManagedIdentity;

SqlAuthenticationProviderRegistration.RegisterManagedIdentity();

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
// ...

This is a process-wide registration, so it automatically covers any DbContext from Synetec.UserManager, Synetec.FeatureManagement, or elsewhere in the same process — no additional code is needed in those libraries or in your own DbContexts.
