Get Managed Identity Application ID from ADF with terraform

Question

I would like to retrive the Managed Identity Application ID from my adf using the data sources. I have tried this

provider "azurerm" {
features {}
}

data "azurerm_data_factory" "adf" {
  name                = "adf-dev-gg-we-01"
  resource_group_name = "your_resource_group_name"
}

output "managed_identity_application_id" {
  value = data.azurerm_data_factory.adf.identity[0].principal_id
}

but it retrives Managed Identity Object ID but I would like to get the Managed Identity Application ID! How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

You cannot directly retrieve the managed identityclient_id value from a resource. Instead use data source of an azuread_service_principal to get it as shown below.

provider "azurerm" {
features {}
}
data "azurerm_data_factory" "adf" {
  name                = "newdfj"
  resource_group_name = "Jahnavi"
}
data "azuread_service_principal" "example" {
  object_id = data.azurerm_data_factory.adf.identity.0.principal_id
}
output "managed_identity_application_id" {
  value = data.azuread_service_principal.example.client_id
}

Value to be shown:
