I'm setting up Posit Workbench for the first time. I have all the necessary licenses for the tasks I'm trying to achieve.

My ultimate goal is to provide user access to Databricks and Azure Databricks inside their session without using PAT (personal access tokens). I have done the initial setup on databricks.conf and I can also see those configs working fine (successful authentication) while creating sessions.

Issue is, when I authenticate and go to session, in Databricks pane, there's an error

The Databricks pane may be missing authentication information. Set the DATABRICKS_HOST and DATABRICKS_TOKEN environment variables.

When i check the DATABRICKS_HOST, it shows data but DATABRICKS_TOKEN is empty.
When i set DATABRICKS_TOKEN , i can see those clusters and connect to them.

Please help and feel free to add some insights you can assist.

I would also be interested in hearing a solution to this as I'm encountering the same issue: databricks.conf configured, yet still seeing the same error. Environment variables are empty.

Hi @rodrick and @dareneiri1 could you both please make sure the blue checkmark appears in the upper left corner of the Databricks session credentials box when launching a session (screenshot below)

And once you are in a session please check that clicking the key icon shows your databricks username (screenshot below):

The blue checkmark box appears when creating the session but once I'm in, and I view the key icon, it shows "No Managed Credentials"

That is odd. To figure out why its not working in session please have your admin team submit a support ticket so our team can take a look at log files, etc.
