# Use OAuth Security with Your Microsoft Azure SQL Database Connection

Increase data security by connecting to Microsoft Azure SQL Database using OAuth 2.0 authentication. You can now provide Azure authentication values directly, eliminating the need for a separate external authentication provider setup.

**Where:** This change applies to Salesforce Data Pipelines in Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic. Salesforce Data Pipelines is available for an extra cost in Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited editions.

**How:** In Azure, configure your connected app, SQL server, and database for OAuth authentication. In Salesforce, add the client ID, client secret, and Azure tenant values to your Microsoft Azure SQL Database connection.
