GitLab CI/CD Pipeline Stuck and Failing During Azure Login Authentication

Question

Dear Support Team,

I am experiencing an issue with my GitLab CI/CD pipeline where the pipeline gets stuck and eventually fails during the Azure login authentication phase. Here are the details:

Issue Summary:

• Problem: The pipeline gets stuck and eventually fails when attempting to authenticate with Azure using the az login command in the CI/CD pipeline. The same login command works successfully when run manually in the terminal.
• Error: The pipeline fails with no specific error message, but it gets stuck at the az login step before eventually failing.

Pipeline Configuration:

• .gitlab-ci.yml Configuration: image: mcr.microsoft.com/azure-cli stages:
  • deploy
  deploy: stage: deploy script:

  - echo "Authenticating with Azure..."
  
  - az login --service-principal -u $ClientID -p $ClientPass --tenant $TenantId
  
  - echo "Deploying to Azure..."
  
  - az webapp deployment source config-zip --resource-group octopus-rg --name apioctopus --src ./octopus-backend.zip
  

  only:

  - develop
  

Thank you for your support in resolving this issue. Please let me know if additional information or logs are required.
