Neo4j Aura user creation

In Neo4j aura, I’m trying to create users. But it seems password is mandatory. I want users to authenticate using ad authentication instead of password login.

CREATE USER alice22

SET AUTH 'aura-seamless-connection' { SET ID 'abc@company.com' }

The error:

01N71: External auth disabled

Use the setting 'dbms.security.require_local_user' to enable external auth.

The auth provider `aura-seamless-connection` is not defined in the configuration. Verify that the spelling is correct or define `aura-seamless-connection` in the configuration.

Are you using a Aura Free tier account or is this Aura Professional / Business Critical

Aura user security is described at Multi-Factor Authentication - Neo4j Aura and it subsections. For Aura we allow for a SSO connection, but not AD/LDAP.

I’m on Virtual Dedicated Cloud. I’ve enabled MFA on org level. But while creating users in DB level, we are required to set password. Following that password needs to be shared which is not secured.

Is there any workaround for the same? Similar way as Azure SQL DB/MI works where we connect using AD credentials
