在 SQL 服务器的本地实例上创建用户登录 - 对于 Azure AD 用户

Question

I have a local instance of SQL Server installed. I installed it as the machine's administrator.

Now I want to create a user for a database on that server, but the user is not a local windows user, but an Azure AD user.

I tried to execute the code mentioned in the Create SQL Login for Azure Active Directory User

CREATE USER [alice@fabrikam.onmicrosoft.com] 
FROM EXTERNAL PROVIDER;

but I always get the error:

Incorrect syntax near 'PROVIDER'

Now to reiterate, it is not an Azure SQL database, it's a machine's local SQL Server hosting its own databases.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, you can't use Azure AD user for on-premises SQL Server user.

The link you have shared is only applicable for Azure PaaS services like Azure SQL Database, Azure Managed Instance, etc.

As per this official doc
