+### Azure Active Directory authentication
+
+Azure Active Directory authentication uses temporary authentication tokens to authenticate.
+To have the driver obtain these tokens using the
+[Active Directory Authentication Library for Go](https://github.com/Azure/go-autorest/tree/master/autorest/adal),
+import the Azure AD module in addition to the normal driver module, and configure the
+connection string with a `FedAuth` option and supporting information as described above.
+
+```golang
+import (
+  "database/sql"
+  "net/url"
 
-The configuration of functionality might change in the future.
+  // Import the Azure AD driver module (also imports the regular driver package)
+  _ "github.com/denisenkom/go-mssqldb/azuread"
+)
+
+func ConnectWithMSI() (*sql.DB, error) {
+  return sql.Open("sqlserver", "sqlserver://azuresql.database.windows.net?database=yourdb&fedauth=ActiveDirectoryMSI")
+}
+```
+
+As an alternative, you can select the federated authentication library and Active Directory
+using the connection string parameters, but then implement your own routine for obtaining
+tokens.
+
+```golang
+import (
+  "context"
+  "database/sql"
+  "net/url"
+
+  // Import the driver
+  "github.com/denisenkom/go-mssqldb"
+)
+
+func ConnectWithADToken() (*sql.DB, error) {
+  conn, err := mssql.NewConnector("sqlserver://azuresql.database.windows.net?database=yourdb&fedauth=ActiveDirectoryApplication")
+  if err != nil {
+    // handle errors in DSN
+  }
+
+  conn.SecurityTokenProvider = func(ctx context.Context) (string, error) {
+    return "the token", nil
+  }
+
+  return sql.OpenDB(conn), nil
+}
+
+func ConnectWithADIntegrated() (*sql.DB, error) {
+  conn, err := mssql.NewConnector("sqlserver://azuresq;.database.windows.net?database=yourdb&fedauth=ActiveDirectoryIntegrated")
+  if err != nil {
+    // handle errors in DSN
+  }
+
+  c.ActiveDirectoryTokenProvider = func(ctx context.Context, serverSPN, stsURL string) (string, error) {
+    return "the token", nil
+  }
 
-Azure Active Directory (AAD) access tokens are relatively short lived and need to be 
-valid when a new connection is made. Authentication is supported using a callback func that
-provides a fresh and valid token using a connector:
-``` golang
-conn, err := mssql.NewAccessTokenConnector(
-  "Server=test.database.windows.net;Database=testdb",
-  tokenProvider)
-if err != nil {
-	// handle errors in DSN
+  return sql.OpenDB(conn), nil
 }
-db := sql.OpenDB(conn)
 ```
-Where `tokenProvider` is a function that returns a fresh access token or an error. None of these statements
-actually trigger the retrieval of a token, this happens when the first statment is issued and a connection
-is created.

+# How to test Azure AD authentication
+
+To test Azure AD authentication requires an Azure SQL server configured with an
+[Active Directory administrator](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sql-database/sql-database-aad-authentication-configure).
+To test managed identity authentication, an Azure virtual machine configured with
+[system-assigned and/or user-assigned identities](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/qs-configure-portal-windows-vm)
+is also required.
+
+The necessary resources can be set up through any means including the
+[Azure Portal](https://portal.azure.com/), the Azure CLI, the Azure PowerShell cmdlets or
+[Terraform](https://terraform.io/). To support these instructions, use the Terraform script at
+[examples/azuread/testing.tf](../examples/azuread/testing.tf).
+
+## Create Azure infrastructure
+
+Download [Terraform](https://terraform.io/) to a location on your PATH.
+
+Log in to Azure using the Azure CLI.
+
+```console
+you@workstation:~$ az login
+you@workstation:~$ az account show
+```
+
+If your Azure account has access to multiple subscriptions, use
+`az account set --subscription <name-or-ID>` to choose the correct one. You will need to have at
+least Contributor access to the portal and permissions in Azure Active Directory to create users
+and grants.
+
+Check out this source repository (if you haven't already), change to the `examples/azuread`
+directory and run Terraform:
+
+```console
+you@workstation:~$ git clone -b azure-auth https://github.com/wrosenuance/go-mssqldb.git
+you@workstation:~$ cd go-mssqldb/examples/azuread
+you@workstation:azuread$ terraform init
+you@workstation:azuread$ terraform apply
+```
+
+This will create an Azure resource group, a SQL server with a database, a virtual machine with a
+system-assigned identity and user-assigned identity. Resources are named based on a random
+prefix: to specify the prefix, use `terraform apply -var prefix=<alphanumeric-and-hyphens-ok>`.
+
+Upon successful completion, Terraform will display some key details of the infrastructure that has
+ been created. This includes the SSH key to access the VM, the administrator account and password
+ for the Azure SQL server, and all the relevant resource names.
+
+Save the settings to a JSON file:
+
+```console
+you@workstation:azuread$ terraform output -json > settings.json
+```
+
+Save the SSH private key to a file:
+
+```console
+you@workstation:azuread$ terraform output vm_user_ssh_private_key > ssh-identity
+```
+
+Copy the `settings.json` to the new VM:
+
+```console
+you@workstation:azuread$ eval "VM_ADMIN_NAME=$(terraform output vm_admin_name)"
+you@workstation:azuread$ eval "VM_IP_ADDRESS=$(terraform output vm_ip_address)"
+you@workstation:azuread$ scp -i ssh-identity settings.json "${VM_ADMIN_NAME}@${VM_IP_ADDRESS}:"
+```
+
+## Set up Azure Virtual Machine for testing
+
+SSH to the new VM to continue setup:
+
+```console
+you@workstation:azuread$ ssh -i ssh-identity "${VM_ADMIN_NAME}@${VM_IP_ADDRESS}"
+```
+
+Once on the VM, update the system and install some basic packages:
+
+```console
+azureuser@azure-vm:~$ sudo apt update -y
+azureuser@azure-vm:~$ sudo apt upgrade -y
+azureuser@azure-vm:~$ sudo apt install -y git openssl jq build-essential 
+azureuser@azure-vm:~$ sudo snap install go --classic
+```
+
+Install the Azure CLI using the script as shown below, or follow the
+[manual install instructions](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli-apt):
+
+```console
+azureuser@azure-vm:~$ curl -sL https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCLIDeb | sudo bash
+```
+
+## Generate service principal certificate file
+
+Log in to Azure on the VM and set the subscription:
+
+```console
+azureuser@azure-vm:~$ az login
+azureuser@azure-vm:~$ az account set --subscription "$(jq -r '.subscription_id.value' settings.json)"
+```
+
+Use OpenSSL to create a new certificate and key in PEM format, using the :
+
+```console
+azureuser@azure-vm:~$ openssl rand -writerand ~/.rnd
+azureuser@azure-vm:~$ openssl req -x509 -nodes -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout client.key -out client.crt \
+                                    -subj "/C=US/ST=MA/L=Boston/O=Global Security/OU=IT Department/CN=AD-SP"
+azureuser@azure-vm:~$ openssl rsa -out client.pem -in client.key -aes256 \
+                                    -passout "pass:$(jq -r '.app_sp_client_secret.value' settings.json)"
+azureuser@azure-vm:~$ cat client.crt >> client.pem
+azureuser@azure-vm:~$ export APP_SP_CLIENT_CERT="$PWD/client.pem"
+```
+
+Use the Azure CLI to add the client certificate to the application service principal:
+
+```console
+azureuser@azure-vm:~$ az ad sp credential reset --append --cert @client.crt \
+                                    --name "$(jq -r '.app_sp_client_id.value' settings.json)"
+```
+
+## Build source code and authorize users in database
+
+Clone this repository, build and run the `examples/azuread` helper that verifies the database
+exists and sets up access for the system-assigned and user-assigned identities.
+
+```console
+azureuser@azure-vm:~$ git clone -b azure-auth https://github.com/wrosenuance/go-mssqldb.git
+azureuser@azure-vm:~$ cd go-mssqldb
+azureuser@azure-vm:go-mssqldb$ go generate ./...
+azureuser@azure-vm:go-mssqldb$ (cd ./examples/azuread; go build -o ../../azuread-example .)
+azureuser@azure-vm:go-mssqldb$ eval "$(jq -r -f examples/azuread/environment-settings.jq ../settings.json)"
+azureuser@azure-vm:go-mssqldb$ ./azuread-example -fedauth ActiveDirectoryPassword
+```
+
+For some basic connectivity tests, use the `examples/simple` helper. Run these commands on the
+Azure VM so that identity authentication is possible.
+
+```console
+azureuser@azure-vm:go-mssqldb$ go build -o simple ./examples/simple
+azureuser@azure-vm:go-mssqldb$ jq -r -f examples/azuread/ad-user-password-dsn.jq ../settings.json |
+                               xargs ./simple -debug -dsn 
+azureuser@azure-vm:go-mssqldb$ jq -r -f examples/azuread/ad-service-principal-dsn.jq ../settings.json |
+                               xargs ./simple -debug -dsn 
+azureuser@azure-vm:go-mssqldb$ jq -r --arg certpath "$APP_SP_CLIENT_CERT" \
+                                     -f examples/azuread/ad-service-principal-cert-dsn.jq ../settings.json |
+                               xargs ./simple -debug -dsn 
+azureuser@azure-vm:go-mssqldb$ jq -r -f examples/azuread/ad-system-assigned-id-dsn.jq ../settings.json |
+                               xargs ./simple -debug -dsn 
+azureuser@azure-vm:go-mssqldb$ jq -r -f examples/azuread/ad-user-assigned-id-dsn.jq ../settings.json |
+                               xargs ./simple -debug -dsn 
+```
+
+## Running the integration tests
+
+Now that your environment is configured, you can run `go test`:
+
+```console
+azureuser@azure-vm:go-mssqldb$ export SQLSERVER_DSN="$(jq -r -f examples/azuread/sql-user-password-dsn.jq ../settings.json)"
+azureuser@azure-vm:go-mssqldb$ go test -coverprofile=coverage.out ./...
+```
+
+## Tear down environment
+
+After you complete your testing, use Terraform to destroy the infrastructure you created.
+
+```console
+you@workstation:azuread$ terraform destroy
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+After Terraform runs you should be able to see resources that were created in the
+[Azure Portal](https://portal.azure.com/).
+
+If the Azure SQL server is successfully created you can connect to it using the AD admin user
+and password in SSMS. SSMS will prompt you to create firewall rules if they are missing. You
+can read the AD admin user and password from the `settings.json`, or run:
+
+```console
+you@workstation:azuread$ terraform output sql_ad_admin_user
+you@workstation:azuread$ terraform output sql_ad_admin_password
+```
