The following SQL Server tools have been extended adding new functionality:

• SSMS 17.2 supports the following functionalities:
  • Multiple-user Azure AD authentication for Universal authentication with multi-factor support (authentication option: Active Directory - Universal with MFA). A new user credential input field was added for the Universal authentication with MFA method to support multi-user authentication. See below myaccount@gmail.com as user name.
