Today, we’re thrilled to announce a major update to the <\/span>DocumentDB for VS Code<\/span><\/b><\/a> extension that will make life easier for enterprise developers. With version 0.3<\/a>, you can now connect to your <\/span>Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB (vCore)<\/span><\/b> clusters using <\/span>Microsoft Entra ID<\/span><\/b> authentication.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For many organizations, using a central identity provider is a top security priority. <\/span>Entra ID<\/span><\/a> (formerly Azure AD) provides a secure, passwordless authentication method that helps you move away from managing connection strings with secrets. This update brings that modern security standard directly into your VS Code workflow so you can connect to your databases with confidence.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A Seamless, Secure Experience<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re already signed into Azure in your VS Code session, the extension automatically uses your existing identity to authenticate. There are no extra steps or pop-ups.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
