Name of the Streamlit feature whose docs need improvement:
Ability to connect to Microsoft SQL Server
What you think the docs should say:
There's currently a note on the docs stating that "At this time, Streamlit Community Cloud does not support Azure Active Directory authentication". This isn't accurate. There are multiple ways of authenticating to a SQL Server database using Azure Active Directory/Microsoft Entra* and some of them are possible in Community Cloud. You may want to reflect this so that people aren't put off by thinking it's not possible :)
I think what the docs might want to say is that the Azure Active Directory/Microsoft EntraActiveDirectoryInteractive authentication type isn't possible. This is the version that uses MFA, and there's no way for Community Cloud to serve a MFA pop-up. Some other authencation types do work. I can confirm that ActiveDirectoryServicePrincipal authentication works. I suspect ActiveDirectoryPassword authentication will also work, and possibly some of the other authentication types, but don't have a way of testing this.
