1
Why does connection validation fail?
Connection validation fails when authentication details are invalid, the Storage Account is inaccessible, required permissions are missing, or Azure resources cannot be reached. Verify the configured credentials, Storage Account, and network connectivity.
2
Why are folders or files not displayed?
Folders or files may not appear if the configured path is incorrect, the location is empty, or the account does not have permission to access the resources. Verify the path, resource availability, and assigned permissions.
3
Why are file operations slow?
Operations may take longer when processing large numbers of files, accessing large datasets, or experiencing network latency. Limiting operations to a specific folder and ensuring a stable network connection can improve performance.
4
Which Azure roles are required?
Assign Storage Blob Data Reader for read operations. Assign Storage Blob Data Contributor when write operations are required. Grant the appropriate Microsoft Fabric workspace role (Member or Contributor) to the Microsoft Entra ID application.
5
Why does Service Principal authentication fail?
Service Principal authentication fails when the Client ID, Client Secret, or Tenant ID is incorrect, expired, or the Service Principal lacks the required Azure permissions. Verify the authentication details and assigned roles.
6
How can AADSTS authentication errors be resolved?
AADSTS errors indicate issues with Microsoft Entra ID authentication, such as invalid credentials, tenant configuration, or missing permissions. Review the returned AADSTS error code and verify the Microsoft Entra ID application configuration.
