Description
**Why is this needed**:
I'm currently working with a customer that mandates PostgreSQL database access via Azure AD Authentication. However, the current PostgreSQL plugin supports only username and password-based authentication.
**What would you like to be added**:
I'm requesting an enhancement that would enable the PostgreSQL Plugin to support Azure AD Authentication for logging in.
**Who is this feature for?**
This feature is primarily intended for Grafana users who need to access PostgreSQL data sources using Azure AD Authentication.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the PostgreSQL plugin's current username-and-password authentication path and identify the entry points involved in establishing a data-source connection. Determine how Azure Entra/AD credentials should be supplied and refreshed, then verify that Grafana users can connect to PostgreSQL without password-based authentication.
