Authenticate Databricks File Federation Connector with an Identity Provider

You can now use federated authentication when connecting to your Databricks zero copy file federation data streams by configuring Salesforce as an OIDC-based identity provider (IdP). Using Salesforce as an IdP provides a secure and robust role-based authentication when streaming data from Databricks. You can still use your Catalog Access Token for authentication when setting up a connection.
