# How to enable Azure Auth on postgresql

Set the environment variables

```Commandline
  DB_PARAMS="azure=true&allowPublicKeyRetrieval=true&sslmode=require&serverTimezone=UTC" 
  DB_USER_PASSWORD=none
```

Either through helm (if deployed in kubernetes) or as env vars.

{% note %}

The `DB_USER_PASSWORD` is still required and cannot be empty. Set it to a random/dummy string.
