However, an option to use Managed Service Identity (MSI) provided by AAD for authentication is not supported by Tessera. MSI is more secure and easy to use as the lifecycle of underlying identity including rotation is completely managed. I want to check if enabling MSI is in the pipeline for future releases of Tessera.
Today we have the option for Tessera to connect to external DB (such as MySQL DB) using the JDBC url, using Username & Password. There is an option to encrypt the password to make the connection process more secure - https://docs.tessera.consensys.net/en/stable/HowTo/Configure/Database/#database-password-encryption.
