Hello,
The main use case here is to create a data source using R Script that will connect to a database via the ODBC package to SELECT data into an array and then send that data via REST to Azure Machine Learning.
The concern here is that the ODBC connection at the very least will require plain text credentials to be stored in the script. I want to avoid this at all costs to ensure better securit of the data script.
Some questions:
Does anyone know if the entire R Script data source is encrypted once it's used as a data source in Power BI? If not, would using the Data Gateway be a good option? In my research, the ODBC connection with R can have a DSN setup to secure the credentials and or use Keyring as part of the package. But, I'm unsure if even R Script is a supported data source on the gateway to begin with. If so, it seems that may be a better option.
