How do I configure Azure Database Transparent Data Encryption with the Azure Portal or Powershell?
To configure Azure Database Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) with the Azure portal, follow these steps:
- Log in to the Azure portal (https://portal.azure.com).
- Navigate to your Azure SQL Database or Azure Synapse Analytics workspace.
- Under Security, select Transparent Data Encryption.
- Click on the “Enable” button to enable TDE.
- Choose the Azure Key Vault that you want to use to store the encryption keys.
- Save your changes.
To configure Azure Database TDE using PowerShell, follow these steps:
- Open the PowerShell console or PowerShell ISE.
- Connect to your Azure account using the following command:
powershell
Connect-AzAccount
- Select the subscription that contains your database:
powershell
Select-AzSubscription -SubscriptionName "your_subscription_name"
- Enable TDE for the database by running the following command:
powershell
Set-AzSqlServerTransparentDataEncryption `
-ResourceGroupName "your_resource_group_name" `
-ServerName "your_server_name" `
-DatabaseName "your_database_name" `
-AzureKeyVaultKeyUri "https://your_key_vault_name.vault.azure.net/keys/TDEKey"
Replace the parameters with your own values. This command enables TDE for your database and specifies the Azure Key Vault to store the encryption key.
Note: Before running the PowerShell command, make sure that you have the Az.Sql PowerShell module installed on your machine. You can install it by running the following command:
powershell
Install-Module Az.Sql
Make sure you have the appropriate permissions to configure TDE on your Azure SQL Database or Azure Synapse Analytics workspace.
