Issue when connecting to Databricks using OAuth 2.0 token connection string

NetRider

Following the instructions on Authentication settings for the Databricks ODBC Driver | Databricks on AWS I have created both Personal access token and OAuth 2.0 token connection options in an application. However, I realized that, when I use OAuth 2.0 token connection string with specific parameters:

AuthMech=11
Auth_Flow=0
Auth_AccessToken=<oauth-token>

, I am able to successfully connect to Databricks when I put Personal access token as <oauth-token>, which in my case shouldn't be allowed.

On the other hand, if I put OAuth 2.0 token as <personal-access-token> in Personal access token connection string with parameters:

AuthMech=3
UID=token
PWD=<personal-access-token>

, I get an exception, which is a desired behavior.

Is there a way to restrict connecting to Databricks with Personal access token using OAuth 2.0 connection string?

Thank you in advance.

This will require further analysis, based on the information it seems there is no direct way to restrict this. Are you able to submit a support case so this can be analyzed?
