On the Source tab, select Azure PostgreSQL, and then click Next.
Enter a connection name, connection API name, and provide the authentication and connection details.

  - Service Principal Client Secret: The Microsoft Entra ID client secret value for the App Registration. Rotate the secret before it expires per the Entra ID secret lifetime.
For Connection Details, enter Connection URL that uses the following format: {hostname}.postgres.database.azure.com{:port}
1. Hostnames are 1–63 lowercase letters (a–z), numbers (0–9), or hyphens (-). Hostnames can’t start or end with ‌a hyphen.
2. The port is optional. If included, the port is 4–5 numbers (0–9) and prefixed with a colon (:).
