Does Azure Synapse Link to Cosmos DB work with Managed Identity?

Question

Does Azure Synapse Link to Cosmos DB work with Managed Identity?

I created an identity using the code below

CREATE CREDENTIAL [xavcosmosdb]
WITH IDENTITY = 'Managed Identity'
GO

When I use it as

SELECT TOP 100 *
FROM OPENROWSET(​PROVIDER = 'CosmosDB',
                CONNECTION = 'Account=xavcosmosdb;Database=myDb',
                OBJECT = 'cases',
                SERVER_CREDENTIAL = 'xavcosmosdb'
) AS [cases]

I get the following error.

Resolving CosmosDB path has failed with error 'Secret is null or empty.'.

What are the steps to use managed identity from Azure Synapse to CosmosDb?

Currently it's not supported. No ETA for now.
