-Starting from **Microsoft.Data.SqlClient** 2.0.0, the support for `Active Directory Password` authentication, `Active Directory Integrated authentication`, and `Active Directory Interactive` authentication has been extended across .NET Framework, .NET Core, and .NET Standard. A new `Active Directory Service Principal` authentication mode is also added in SqlClient 2.0.0 that makes use of the client ID and secret of a service principal identity to accomplish the authentication. More authentication modes are now brought in SqlClient 2.0.1 including `Active Directory Device Code Flow` and `Active Directory Managed Identity` (also known as `Active Directory MSI`). These new modes enable the application to acquire access token to establish connection to the SQL server. More information about all the Active Directory authentications are covered in the following sections.
