Azure Data Factory now supports service principal and managed service identity (MSI) authentication for Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 connectors, in addition to Shared Key authentication. You can use these new authentication types when copying data to and from Gen2. Learn more about configurations and prerequisites from Service principal authentication and MSI authentication.

For hybrid copy using self-hosted integration runtime, this feature is supported since version 3.11.
