Enhancements to Databricks Authorization

Align your data architecture with industry best practices and strengthen your security posture by securing your Databricks and Lakebase connections with OAuth 2.0. Relying on static usernames, passwords, or long-lived Personal Access Tokens (PATs) creates significant security vulnerabilities and burdensome administrative overhead which are methods that modern data standards are actively moving away from.

Domo now supports OAuth 2.0 machine-to-machine (M2M) authentication for both Databricks and Lakebase. This update allows you to adopt the officially recommended authentication standard, replacing insecure or legacy credentials with a modern flow that utilizes short-lived tokens.

Key Benefits:

• Enhanced Security: Eliminate the risk of shared or leaked static credentials. ‍
• Simplified Management: Admins can configure a service principal with a client ID and secret for a one-time setup, reducing the need for manual rotations. ‍
• Future-Proof Integration: Stay aligned with Databricks’ security roadmap by moving away from PATs.

To implement this more secure connection, simply select the OAuth 2.0 M2M option when setting up or editing your Databricks or Lakebase service account connections in Domo.
