Since Entra ID authentication seems to be getting upgraded, I wanted to ask about interactive login.\n\nUsing `databricks-sdk` I can perform this user authentication by doing (from the terminal)\n\n```bash\naz login --use-device-code\n...\nUser is logged in\n```\n\nthen in python\n\n```python\nfrom databricks.sdk import WorkspaceClient\n\nw = WorkspaceClient(host=\"https://adb-XXXXXX.azuredatabricks.net/\")\n```\n\nWould the newly-added Entra ID M2M method be extendable for U2M workflows?\n\nOtherwise, is there an alternative implementation I could use? \n\nThis is what I'm currently doing to manually mint a token in the user interactive workflow currently:\n\n```python\nfrom azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential\nfrom databricks import sql as dbx_sql\n\n_DATABRICKS_SCOPE = \"2ff814a6-3304-4ab8-85cb-cd0e6f879c1d/.default\"\n\nDATABRICKS_CLUSTER_HOST = \"adb-XXX.azuredatabricks.net\"\nDATABRICKS_CLUSTER_HTTP_PATH = \"/sql/1.0/warehouses/XXX\"\n\ncred = DefaultAzureCredential()\ntoken = cred.get_token(_DATABRICKS_SCOPE)\n\nwith dbx_sql.connect(\n    server_hostname=DATABRICKS_CLUSTER_HOST,\n    http_path=DATABRICKS_CLUSTER_HTTP_PATH,\n    access_token=token.token,\n) as conn, conn.cursor() as c:\n        c.execute(\"SELECT current_user(), current_catalog(), current_schema();\")\n        print(c.fetchall())\n```\n\nThanks!","author":{"url":"https://github.com/inigohidalgo","@type":"Person","name":"inigohidalgo"},"datePublished":"2025-09-01T15:46:36.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/690/databricks-sql-python/issues/690"}
