Unable to edit SQL connection

Posted on by chr_mohan Microsoft Employee

 

I have a power app which is using a SQL connection with AAD integrated auth. I am trying update it to SQL credentials, however the 'Authentication Type' is not letting me pick up from dropdown.

    Hi @chr_mohan ,

    Actually, it is an known limit with SQL Connection in PowerApps -- Once you have created a connection to SQL Server from PowerApps with any Authentication type, then you could not change the Authentication Type any more via edit the created SQL Connection.

     

    If you would like this feature to be added in PowerApps, please submit an idea to PowerApps Ideas Forum:

    https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Ideas/idb-p/PowerAppsIdeas

     

    As an alternative solution, you could consider create a new connection to your SQL Server from your PowerApps using other different Authentication type, and then within your canvas app, use the new created connection.

     

    Best regards,
