SharedAccessSignature Parameter (Connect-ADLS Cmdlet)

A shared access key signature that may be used for authentication.

Syntax

Connect-ADLS -SharedAccessSignature string

Data Type

cstr

Default Value

""

Remarks

A Shared Access Signature (SAS) token provides delegated access to resources in your Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account. You can use a SAS token instead of the AccessKey property to authenticate.

SAS tokens define the permissions granted (such as read, write, and list) and the time period for which they are valid.

You can generate a SAS token in the Azure portal:

  1. Sign in to https://portal.azure.com with your account credentials.
  2. Navigate to Storage accounts and select your account.
  3. Under Security + networking, select Shared access signature.
  4. Choose the desired permissions and expiration date, then select Generate SAS.
  5. Copy the generated SAS token value into this property.

This property is only applicable when AuthScheme is set to SAS.
