Can I enable Okta authentication while using Databricks ODBC driver?

[hank12345]

We're currently using a private cloud implementation of Databricks on AWS (not SaaS version), and the Databricks/Simba ODBC driver v2.6.29 with personal access token to fetch data into desktop tools. Can I enable Okta web/mobile authentication with the ODBC driver? If yes, how? Do I need to upgrade ODBC driver? Current implementation allows malicious users to share Databricks personal access tokens using ODBC connections to fetch data. Thanks!

Hi @hank12345, 

• First, check if you’re using the latest version of the Databricks ODBC driver. The ODBC driver version 2.7.5 and above supports OAuth user-to-machine (U2M) authentication for Data....
• If you’re using an older version (such as v2.6.29), consider upgrading to a newer release.
