This quickstart shows you two ways of connecting to Azure Event Hubs:

  • Passwordless. Use your security principal in Microsoft Entra ID and role-based access control (RBAC) to connect to an Event Hubs namespace. You don't need to worry about having hard-coded connection strings in your code, in a configuration file, or in secure storage like Azure Key Vault.
  • Connection string. Use a connection string to connect to an Event Hubs namespace. If you're new to Azure, you might find the connection string option easier to follow.

We recommend using the passwordless option in real-world applications and production environments. For more information, see Service Bus authentication and authorization and Passwordless connections for Azure services.

Connection String

Get the connection string

Creating a new namespace automatically generates an initial Shared Access Signature (SAS) policy with primary and secondary keys and connection strings that each grant full control over all aspects of the namespace. For information about how to create rules with more constrained rights for regular senders and receivers, see Event Hubs authentication and authorization.

A client can use the connection string to connect to the Event Hubs namespace. To copy the primary connection string for your namespace, follow these steps:

  1. On the Event Hub Namespace page, select Shared access policies on the left menu.

  2. On the Shared access policies page, select RootManageSharedAccessKey.

  3. In the Policy: RootManageSharedAccessKey window, select the copy button next to Primary Connection String, to copy the connection string to your clipboard for later use. Paste this value into Notepad or some other temporary location.

    You can use this page to copy primary key, secondary key, primary connection string, and secondary connection string.
