Unable to setcheckpointdir in unitycatalog enabled workspace

[reshmir18]

I have a Unity catalog enabled workspace where I am trying to setCheckpointDir during runtime. The method looks to authenticate using fs.azure.account.key instead of storage credentials. I am using databricks access connector which has "Storage Blob Data Contributor" role on my storage account. The relevant containers are also added as external locations.

Error:

Py4JJavaError: An error occurred while calling o350.setCheckpointDir.
: Failure to initialize configuration for storage account: Invalid configuration value detected for fs.azure.account.keyInvalid configuration value detected for fs.azure.account.key

@Retired_mod I have provided all the necessary permissions and were able to browse through the folders of the container added as an external location.

I don't understand why the method setcheckpointdir looks for account key when the access is already provided using storage credentials for the storage account.
