SQL Server on Linux has the following limitations:
- Only SQL Server authentication is currently available.
- A standard password policy is provided. MUST_CHANGE is the only option you may configure.
- Extensible Key Management is not supported.
- Using keys stored in the Azure Key Vault is not supported.
- SQL Server generates its own self-signed certificate for encrypting connections. Currently, SQL Server cannot be configured to use a user provided certificate for SSL or TWL.
