Access the Azure SQL database

You can access the Microsoft Azure SQL database by following these steps.

1. From LCS, add a safe list of the IP address of the machine that you use to connect to the Azure SQL database using SQL Management Studio.
2. Use LCS to request access to see the database credentials. You must provide a reason for requesting access.

As soon as you submit the request, it's automatically approved. Within a minute or two, you are able to see the database access credentials on the LCS environment details page. You can use the credentials to connect to the SQL database.

What are the outbound IP ranges for my finance and operations environment?

For any of your external components that have special handling for the outbound IP addresses of requests originating from the AOS, such as a firewall, you can find the outbound IP addresses by using the Service Tag Discovery API or using the downloadable JSON files. For example, an outbound IP address may be explicitly included in a firewall outside your AOS, or an external service may have an allowed list that contains the outbound IP address for your AOS.

The inbound IP address to the AOS is dynamic. This can, and will, change over time as infrastructure changes occur.

Infrastructure hosting your Microsoft-managed environments is registered as part of the PowerPlatformPlex Service Tag. For more information, see the Service Tag Documentation, such as how to get the specific IP address ranges for components that don't support Service Tags.
