| Database | Specifies the name of the Azure Synapse SQL database that the provider connects to at login. |
| Encrypt | Specifies whether the provider negotiates TLS/SSL encryption with the Azure Synapse endpoint and, if so, how strictly it enforces certificate validation. |
| Property | Description |
| BatchMode | Specifies the mechanism the provider uses when it performs BulkInsert operations. |
| StorageAccountLocation | Specifies the Azure Blob Storage container that the provider uses to stage data files when the BatchMode property is set to COPY. |

| AzureTenant | Identifies the Azure Synapse tenant being used to access data. Accepts either the tenant's domain name (for example, contoso.onmicrosoft.com ) or its directory (tenant) ID. |
| AzureEnvironment | Specifies the Azure network environment to which you will connect. Must be the same network to which your Azure account was added. |
| Property | Description |
| OAuthClientId | Specifies the client ID (also known as the consumer key) assigned to your custom OAuth application. This ID is required to identify the application to the OAuth authorization server during authentication. |
| OAuthClientSecret | Specifies the client secret assigned to your custom OAuth application. This confidential value is used to authenticate the application to the OAuth authorization server. (Custom OAuth applications only.). |
| CallbackURL | Identifies the URL users return to after authenticating to Azure Synapse via OAuth (Custom OAuth applications only). |
| Scope | Specifies the scope of the authenticating user's access to the application, to ensure they get appropriate access to data. If a custom OAuth application is needed, this is generally specified at the time the application is created. |
| Property | Description |
| OAuthJWTCert | Supplies the name of the client certificate's JWT Certificate store. |
| OAuthJWTCertType | Identifies the type of key store containing the JWT Certificate. |
| OAuthJWTCertPassword | Provides the password for the OAuth JWT certificate used to access a password-protected certificate store. If the certificate store does not require a password, leave this property blank. |
| OAuthJWTCertSubject | Identifies the subject of the OAuth JWT certificate used to locate a matching certificate in the store. Supports partial matches and the wildcard '*' to select the first certificate. |
| Property | Description |
| SSLClientCert | Specifies the TLS/SSL client certificate store for SSL Client Authentication (2-way SSL). This property works in conjunction with other SSL-related properties to establish a secure connection. |
| SSLClientCertType | Specifies the type of key store containing the TLS/SSL client certificate for SSL Client Authentication. Choose from a variety of key store formats depending on your platform and certificate source. |
| SSLClientCertPassword | Specifes the password required to access the TLS/SSL client certificate store. Use this property if the selected certificate store type requires a password for access. |
| SSLClientCertSubject | Specifes the subject of the TLS/SSL client certificate to locate it in the certificate store. Use a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields, such as CN=www.server.com, C=US. The wildcard * selects the first certificate in the store. |
| SSLServerCert | Specifies the certificate to be accepted from the server when connecting using TLS/SSL. |
| Property | Description |
| FirewallType | Specifies the protocol the provider uses to tunnel traffic through a proxy-based firewall. |
| FirewallServer | Identifies the IP address, DNS name, or host name of a proxy used to traverse a firewall and relay user queries to network resources. |
| FirewallPort | Specifies the TCP port to be used for a proxy-based firewall. |
| FirewallUser | Identifies the user ID of the account authenticating to a proxy-based firewall. |
| FirewallPassword | Specifies the password of the user account authenticating to a proxy-based firewall. |

| LogModules | Specifies the core modules to include in the log file. Use a semicolon-separated list of module names. By default, all modules are logged. |
| MaxLogFileSize | Specifies the maximum size of a single log file in bytes. For example, '10 MB'. When the file reaches the limit, the provider creates a new log file with the date and time appended to the name. |
| MaxLogFileCount | Specifies the maximum number of log files the provider retains. When the limit is reached, the oldest log file is deleted to make space for a new one. |
| Property | Description |
| Location | Specifies the location of a directory containing schema files that define tables, views, and stored procedures. Depending on your service's requirements, this may be expressed as either an absolute path or a relative path. |
| BrowsableSchemas | Optional setting that restricts the schemas reported to a subset of all available schemas. For example, BrowsableSchemas=SchemaA,SchemaB,SchemaC . |
| Tables | Optional setting that restricts the tables reported to a subset of all available tables. For example, Tables=TableA,TableB,TableC . |
| Views | Optional setting that restricts the views reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Views=ViewA,ViewB,ViewC . |
