How to use Certificate Authentication with the REST connector in Azure Data Factory?

I'd like to use some of the more advanced features of the REST Dataset in Azure Data Factory (mainly pagination), but I can't see where to use Certificate Authentication. I have an HTTP Dataset working well with Certificate Authentication, but the only options seem to be:

  • Anonymous
  • Basic
  • AAD Service Principal
  • Managed Identity

Is there some way to use the AAD Service Principal or Managed Identity with a certificate? Maybe I can do this using the Advanced settings?

The docs say that the HTTP connector is "less functional comparing to REST connector" but this seems to be a pretty big omission from the REST version.

SP and MI can't be applied for the certificate authentication, for AAD instead. please refer to this simple blog.

Based on the REST Connector document,it only supports above 4 types of authenticate options. If you want to carry certificate with request,please use HTTP connector.
