Description
### Describe the feature
On a project, we are required to use access tokens to connect to the MSSQL databases instances.
The project requires to not use user/password combinations for login because of audit requirements.
### Contribution
I have a PR ready to implement this change for version 4.5.30, since that is the version internally used by Quarkus.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the MSSQL connection and authentication entry points, then review the proposed implementation mentioned in the issue. Done means MSSQL connections can use Windows AD access tokens without a user/password combination, with coverage for the new authentication path.
