Can Connection Strings Be Used Instead of SAS Tokens for Azure Connections in Cloudworks?

Hi Anaplan Community,

I'm currently using Cloudworks to integrate with Azure Blob Storage. In my setup, I see the option to enter a SAS token for authentication, but there is no field to enter a connection string.

I have reviewed this Anapedia documentation, and it only references SAS tokens.

Is there a way to use connection strings within the Cloudworks GUI or maybe through the Cloudworks API?

    Hello,
    It seems like Cloudworks currently supports SAS tokens for Azure Blob Storage integration but not connection strings. You might want to reach out to Anaplan support or check if there's an update or workaround available. red humana colaboradores

    Connection strings can be used instead of SAS tokens for Azure connections, depending on the platform's requirements and access control needs. Connection strings provide static credentials for authentication and secure connections to Azure resources, while SAS tokens provide time-limited, permission-specific access. Connection strings are compatible with Cloudworks if persistent access is required, but SAS tokens are better for temporary or granular access. Security best practices involve using SAS tokens for external systems or temporary access, and using connection strings for internal, secure environments.
