Cannot find the Azure Active Directory object

## Description

Unable to update azure sql server password with the below command when logging to azure using service principle
Set-AzSqlServer -ResourceGroupName $DatabaseRg `
-ServerName $DatabaseServerName `
-SqlAdministratorPassword $dbapw
Cannot find the Azure Active Directory object ''. Please make sure that the user or group or application you are authorizing is registered in the current subscription's Azure Active directory. To get a list of Azure Active Directory groups use Get-AzADGroup, or to get a list of Azure Active Directory users use Get-AzADUser or to get a list of Azure Active Directory applications use Get-AzADApplication.

Service principle has contributor access on sql server

This was working fine till az PowerShell version 6.1.0 and after that it is failing

## Steps to reproduce
$azureAplicationId =""
$azureTenantId= ""
$azurePassword = ConvertTo-SecureString "" -AsPlainText -Force
$psCred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($azureAplicationId , $azurePassword)
Connect-AzAccount -Credential $psCred -TenantId $azureTenantId -ServicePrincipal
$ServerPassword = ""
$SecureString = ConvertTo-SecureString $ServerPassword -AsPlainText -Force
Set-AzSqlServer -ResourceGroupName -ServerName -SqlAdministratorPassword

if we add service principle as azure active directory admin on sql server then everything is working fine

Start with the Set-AzSqlServer entry point and reproduce the failure using Connect-AzAccount with -ServicePrincipal and the supplied SQL server password flow. Compare behavior across the reported Az versions, including the case where the service principal is configured as the SQL server's Azure Active Directory administrator; done means the command succeeds without the empty-object error.
