How to Authenitcate Access to ADLS from Databricks without creating Service Principle with Using AD App Registrations to Mount a Drive

Is it possible to mount ADLS Gen2 account/container without configuring service principle credentials to access storage?

The following article states that it's possible to access a ADLS storage account with first configuring a service principle.

I normally mount a drive in Databricks by first creating a service principle by Registering an Azure AD application using App Registrations. I would use the following code to mount:

if check(mount)==1:
  resultMsg = "<div>%s is already mounted. </div>" % mount
else:
  dbutils.fs.mount(
  source = f"abfss://root@{Lake}.dfs.core.windows.net/",
  mount_point = mount,
  extra_configs = configs)
  resultMsg = "<div>%s was mounted. </div>" % mount

At present I am waiting for the administrator at my place of work to give me the permissions to register applications.

So, I was wondering if I could mount a drive from Databricks without first registering an application?

I tried @JayashankarGS suggestion as follows:

mount = "/mnt/lake"

if check(mount)==1:
  resultMsg = "<div>%s is already mounted. </div>" % mount
else:
  dbutils.fs.mount(
  source = f"abfss://root@{Lake}.dfs.core.windows.net/",
  mount_point = mount,
  extra_configs = configs)
  resultMsg = "<div>%s was mounted. </div>" % mount

But I got the error;

IllegalArgumentException: Unsupported Azure Scheme: abfss

You can try to mount storage using account key

I did similar thing in my project as well!!

You can use below code as a reference

    Container_name = "root"
    storage_account = "lake"
	key = ""

	url = "wasbs://" + container_name + "@" + storage_account + ".blob.core.windows.net/"
	config = "fs.azure.account.key." + storage_account + ".blob.core.windows.net"

	mount_folder = "/mnt/lake"
	mounted_list = dbutils.fs.mounts()

    mounted_exist = False
	for item in mounted_list:
		if mount_folder in item[0]:
			mounted_exist = True
			break

	if not mounted_exist:
		dbutils.fs.mount(source = url, mount_point = mount_folder, extra_configs = {config : key})

You use storage account key to access data in adls2.
Below is code for it.

    spark.conf.set("fs.azure.account.key.<storage account name>.dfs.core.windows.net","Your stoarge account key")
    dbutils.fs.ls("abfss://<container name>@<storage account name>.dfs.core.windows.net/<dir>")

Output:

Or you can follow below approach.

    dbutils.fs.mount(source = "wasbs://data@jgsadls.blob.core.windows.net",
		    mount_point = "/mnt/iotdata",
		    extra_configs = {"fs.azure.account.key.jgsadls.blob.core.windows.net":"Your account key"})
	dbutils.fs.ls("/mnt/iotdata/json_data/")

This is the result.
