authentication to cosmosdb using AAD / Service Principal instead only master.key

[esquare666]

Hi Team,

Noticed that from the config, as of now kafka connect to cosmosdb authentication is enabled only using "connect.cosmos.master.key". Is this true? If not true, please let me know the correct configuration for using Azure Service Principal.

If its true, any plan to add this feature?

Looks like there is existing issue: #570
