I'm trying to create a "Integration Runtime" (AZURE-SSIS type) in my data factory. (To run my SSIS packages in cloud) I already have a virtual machine (Azure SQL data base server Up and running).
While during the IR creation process I'm not able to link my AZURE SQL database SSISDB catalog to "Catalog database server endpoint" (OR) the server is not showing up in the drop down box.
In the MSDN blog it says
"Confirm that the **Allow access to Azure services** setting is enabled for the database server. This is not applicable when you use Azure SQL Database with virtual network service endpoints/Managed Instance to host SSISDB."
Could anyone know how to enable this feature ? I hope by enabling this feature I can link my server in the IR and run the packages in the cloud.
Thanks
To allow applications from Azure to connect to your Azure SQL server,
Azure connections must be enabled. When an application from Azure
attempts to connect to your database server, the firewall verifies
that Azure connections are allowed. A firewall setting with starting
and ending address equal to 0.0.0.0 indicates Azure connections are
allowed. If the connection attempt is not allowed, the request does
not reach the Azure SQL Database server.
you can do it any way, powershell, az cli, arm templates. if you go to the portal to the firewall blade, there would be a button to do that.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sql-database/sql-database-firewall-configure
Please take a look where is located on below image.
On this documentation you will have instructions how to reach that screen.

I'm trying to make a connection between on-premises server and azure server. I tried to ping the azure server IP from on-premises server but no connection was made (Note: I'm on a free-trial plan). I did some research and found out either VPN setup / ExpressRoute is required. My question is:
is it possible to make a connection in free-trial plan?
is there any way to make a hybrid connection without setting up VPN/ExpressRoute?
I believe it is, but it will cost you whatever the cheapest VPN costs (basic SKU).
Azure Service Bus Relay might be an option, depending on what you are after
Firstly, make sure you have set the Azure SQL database firewall settings, then the Azure SQL database will allow the connect from the On-premise SQL Server.
Azure SQL Server doesn't have the IP property, you must use the fully qualified name to connect to the SQL Azure server, format like:
[servername].database.windows.net
You can get this On portal:
Hope this helps.
For security concerns I'm planning to not allow Azure services to communicate with Azure services but the services it is only working with.
For example, I've some web apps that uses Azure SQL Databases. Should I only add the outbound IP addresses of Azure Web Apps in the Azure SQL server firewall?
or I need to do something else?
This is not as easy as it should be. SQL Azure is not designed to be virtual network friendly so your only options are "Allow all Azure services" or hard-coded IPs. Unless your web apps have static IPs however, this won't be possible without writing a custom updater for the database which picks up IP address changes.
You could install a SQL server onto a VM and use virtual private networks, otherwise, make sure the login credentials are secure and accept the fact that an Azure client from anyone could attempt to connect to your database server.
The best way to lock down your SQL Database is with AAD Integration, and Managed Service Identities. Azure will provision an AAD identity for your application, and only code running in that application will be able to generate an Access Token for that Identity. Then you can provision it as an AAD user in your SQL Server.
This has the (large) added benefit of removing the secrets from the application, so you don't have to configure your application with a Client Secret, or a SQL Login/Password.
You can also run your App on a VNet, and configure your SQL firewall to only permit access from that VNet using Virtual Network service Endpoints For Azure SQL Database.
Or use the newer and much better Private Link for Azure SQL Database.
Some of the ways to secure the connection to the sql database that could be considered in this case are -
As you mentioned you are already thinking of configuring a firewall to whitelist the allowed IP addresses. The firewall could be configured both on the sql server level and the database level(we can use SSMS to configure the firewall at the database level).
We can encrypt data. Of course this would be encryption at rest. And the good news is the application connecting to the database need not change to query encrypted data.
The third way would be the traditional way(even if we were not using azure db) we would prevent unauthorized access by creating users/roles/permissions.
A very nice feature I found Azure db provides is the Threat Detection Capability. If you turned that on we would be notified of the possible vulnerabilities of the current db/server setup. And also where can we make improvements to fix those issues.
Connect your Azure function with your SQL DB using private endpoints and VNET integration. Your app service will need to be standard or premium. Even Premium function plan will do. This LINK talks about it.
Authenticate your azure function on your SQL DB using managed identities. See this link for info on how to do that. Managed identities
In short yes.
You can possibly make this more secure by creating vnet connection from the web app and creating a service endpoint for SQL. I'm not sure that will work, but worth a try.
Is there a way to connect from a web app (azure app service) to a SQL Server VM in Azure using Windows authentication? I'm not exactly sure if I need to impersonate or if the app needs to run under the identity that has access to the DB on the SQL Server.
I believe that you can do this - but you will need to share a Active Directory between the two - or have then in a private network together so that they are in the same broadcast subnet.
If you need to use your own Active Directory the create a network and a VPN to your site.
If you don't need to use Active Directory then use SQL Auth.
Looks like it is not possible, although it may be with Azure SQL. But not a VM running MSSQL. Ref links below.
SQL Server Integrated Security from an Azure Web Site
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/sql-database-aad-authentication/
I have been following this example
http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/tutorials/web-site-with-sql-database/
and I could not connect to windows azure database. It gives me the following error
"A network-related error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible."
I have the IP address set, and made a firewall role already.
Any ideas :(
First test whether your ISP (Internet Provider) or corporate system administrator is not blocking outgoing connections on port 1433! This is very common issue with accessing SQL Azure from own laptop/computer.
To test firewall setting just navigate to the web management portal for your SQL Azure Instance. It has a default address:
https://[your_server_name].database.windows.net/?langid=en-us
This will open web management (Silverlight) portal for your SQL Azure Server. You can use to test whether you have correctly configured Firewall Rules on the Azure side. If you have done so, you will be able to log-in from the browser. Note that even if it uses the browser the management portal still respects the Firewall rules for the SQL Azure database.
If cannot log-in from the SQL Azure management portal, then check again your real IP address and make sure it matches the firewall rules.
If you can login from the portal, but not from Visual Studio - then check with your system administrators (or Internet provider support line) whether they have blocked outgoing connections on port 1433. If this is the case you cannot do anything, but just work from the web portal.
Hi guys,
i created sql server database in windows azure. after i integrate this database with my application its working fine.i want to move my application also windows azure virtual machine.i created required Environment(means install java and tomcat) for this.and also allow the ip address in azure sql server database also.but it showing
Connect open connection error
while connecting database.i also allow the port number in wirewall settings but still i am not able to connect database.
please give any suggestions.
From your question it is a little bit unclear which database you're using -
If you're using 'Windows Azure SQL Database' (i.e. the PaaS version), than you need to ensure that your server's firewall, through the Windows Azure Management Portal, is configured to allow Windows Azure Services and then, of course, you need to use the fully qualified name of the server when trying to connect (i.e. ABCD.database.windows.net)
If you have deployed SQL Server as a VM on IaaS you have two options - either define an endpoint for the VM to open port 1433 (or any other port mapped to 1433 for that matter) to the outside world and then use the cloud service's DNS entry to connect to the database or define a virtual network onto which you will deploy both your database VM and your application VM. if you do the latter you will be able to refer to the database using it's private IP.
this might be somewhat useful
