How to install Microsoft Azure Data Studio so you can manage SQL Server straight from your Mac! Microsoft Azure Data Studio (formerly called SQL Operations Studio) is a lightweight management tool for managing SQL Server. Azure Data Studio is free, and it's available for macOS, Linux, and Windows. Here are instructions for installing it on a Mac. Hence may I know is there a work around for us to achieve using Azure AD credentials to sign in Mac machines? And we figure out the possible solution that we could create ADDS service in our Azure Active directory, and join the Mac machine to Azure AD Domain Service then use our Azure AD credentials to sign in the Mac Machine.
Azure Functions v3 was recently released on 09 December 2019 with support for .NET Core 3 and .NET Standard 2.1. Here's how to install the new runtime in Visual Studio and Visual Studio for Mac.
1. Install .NET Core 3
Azure Functions v3 runs on .NET Core 3.
To install .NET Core 3, visit Download .NET Core.
I recommend selecting the latest
LTS version. LTS stands for Long Term Support , meaning that Microsoft is committed to supporting this specific version of .NET Core with bug fixes for approximately 2-3 years.

As of today, the current
LTS version of .NET Core is .NET Core 3.1.
2. Update the CSPROJ
Let's ensure our
csproj file has been updated for Azure Functions v3.
We'll need to set the following three things:

KB ID 0001693 ProblemWe mac users always get overlooked. If I had a pound for every time I’ve heard ‘Yeah we don’t support macs?” I would be a rich man. But thankfully this makes us work things out for ourselves usually! So recently I did a article Azure: Point To Site VPN (Remote Access User VPN) but what if you want to use the same solution for a remote mac user? SolutionFirstly you will want to download the VPN package (and have a valid client/user certificate, [see the link above]). Obviously the installer is for Windows, but within the ZIP file you download, it has a copy of the XML file with the settings in it, and a copy of the Root CA certificate you used. So your first job is to ‘import‘ the client certificate, it will be in PFX format, (if you followed my instructions), so you will need to supply the password you specified when creating the PFX file (not the mac password), when prompted to install it (double click on it). The engineer in me isn’t quite sure why the client needs the Root CA certificate on it, (because that’s not how certificates work!) But Microsoft insist it’s necessary, so also double click and install the Root CA Certificate, (it’s inside the VPN Package). You don’t need to install VPN software onto the mac, (it has its own built in). Click the Apple Logo > System Preferences > Network > Add > Interface = VPN > VPN Type = IKEv2 > Service Name = Azure-Client-VPN > Create. Now open the XML file from within you VPN client software ZIP file, and locate the FQDN of the ‘Gateway’ address in Azure > Copy it to the clipboard. Paste the server address into BOTH Server Address AND Remote ID > (Leave Local ID blank for now) > Authentication Settings WARNING: I’m using mac OS Catalina, so I choose ‘None’ (NOT CERTIFICATE). But for mac OS Mojave (and older) CHOOSE CERTIFICATE). It’s a bug that causes an error (see below) if you don’t. Select > Choose the CLIENT certificate you imported earlier, (Take note of the name in brackets, this is the common nameon the certificate). You will need this in a minute! > Continue > OK. ![]() Put the Common Name from the certificate into the Local ID section > Apply > Connect. All being well it should connect, (though it may prompt for you to enter your user password). BY DEFAULT the option ‘Show VPN Status in Menu Bar‘ should be ticked, if it isn’t then tick it. With that option ticked, you can connect and disconnect the VPN quickly without needing to go back into System Preferences like so; Error: VPN Connection, ‘An unexpected error occurred’Remember above when I said choose ‘None‘ for Catalina, NOT certificate? Well this is what happens if you choose certificate! Related Articles, References, Credits, or External LinksNA Comments are closed.
