How to connect to Service Bus using Service Principal

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 27 Season of Giving Solutions 2025
The only documentation I have found so far is to create a custom connector, which brings with it other issues.
 
My service principal is configured as a part of a resource group allowing it access to send and receive messages. It is also defined as an app registration in Entra.
 
The service bus connector in Power Platform doesn't support configuring service principal connections, only Client Certificate Auth, Access Key, or Microsoft Entra ID Integrated.
  • Access Key
    • I have used this successfully with a poc instance, but our DevOps team will not support this option
  • Microsoft Entra ID Integrated
    • I honestly know nothing about this option.
 
Some guidance on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    The best option I have found as a go-ahead is to generate a certificate and apply it as credentials to the service principal in Entra. From there, you generate a PFX file from the cert and apply a password to the PFX file.
    With that, you can use the "Client Certificate Auth" authentication type.
