Exposed Data Source in Networking logs - SQL Connector

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by desousaMario85 3

We have an issue where users can view the SQL server details and Database name are visiable when a user opens Developer Tools in a browser.

Main problem this will let the users know the DB details which they will be able to create their own Flows or Apps knowing these details, which can break the orginial application and reporting.

Is there a way to hide the data source in developer tools, with the standard SQL connector.

    If the call to SQL is from Client side (using client credentials) then no, there is no way to hide the address of the service it is calling. Even if you could hide it from dev tools, it would still be identifiable using a network trace utility like Fiddler.

     

    If you want the call to SQL to be from server side then you need to specify a different authentication in the connection (i.e. Service Principal)
