How can I connect to Azure cache for Redis using managed identity from c#

Question

Hi,

I have created system assigned managed identity for an App Service and Azure VM. In the current approach, I have connection strings that are used to connect to Azure Cache for Redis from my application. I need to override it with managed identity now.

How do I pass the managed identity information to the Connection Multiplexer of StackExchange Redis.

Hi

Thanks for your patience.

Please refer to the sample code which demonstrate how to connect to your Azure Cache for Redis instance using an Azure AD token: https://github.com/Azure/Microsoft.Azure.StackExchangeRedis.

In the Redis Cache documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-cache-for-redis/cache-azure-active-directory-for-authentication#client-library-support it is mentioned for different languages.
