Secret Creation for Service Principal using API

AnkurMittal008 — Tue, 11 Mar 2025 05:22:49 GMT

There is API available to create a secret for Service Principal.

/api/2.0/accounts/{account_id}/servicePrincipals/{service_principal_id}/credentials/secrets

Can anyone please help what has to be passed as authentication for this API ?

This is looking a Account level API so i think we will not be able to pass Personal access token of a User which is normally created from workspace.

In general, I do not recommend using tokens anymore. Instead, if you want to log in via databricks cli, you can use this command:

databricks auth login --host https://accounts.azuredatabricks.net/ --account-id <YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID>

This will open a web browser, and you can authenticate. (This is an example with Azure Databricks)

If you want to run an application, use M2M-Authentication. Have a look at the documentation here: https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/dev-tools/auth/

Hope, that helps.
