ClientAssertionCredentialOptions	Options used to configure the ClientAssertionCredential.
ClientCertificateCredential	Enables authentication of a service principal to Microsoft Entra ID using a X509 certificate that is assigned to its App Registration.

ClientCertificateCredentialOptions	Options used to configure the ClientCertificateCredential.
ClientSecretCredential	Enables authentication to Microsoft Entra ID using a client secret that was generated for an App Registration. More information on how to configure a client secret can be found at https://learn.microsoft.com/entra/identity-platform/quickstart-configure-app-access-web-apis#add-credentials-to-your-web-application.
ClientSecretCredentialOptions	Options used to configure the ClientSecretCredential.
CredentialUnavailableException	An exception indicating a TokenCredential did not attempt to authenticate and retrieve AccessToken, as its prerequisite information or state was not available.
DefaultAzureCredential	Provides a default TokenCredential authentication flow for applications that will be deployed to Azure. The following credential types if enabled will be tried, in order: EnvironmentCredential WorkloadIdentityCredential ManagedIdentityCredential SharedTokenCacheCredential VisualStudioCredential VisualStudioCodeCredential AzureCliCredential AzurePowerShellCredential AzureDeveloperCliCredential InteractiveBrowserCredential Consult the documentation of these credential types for more information on how they attempt authentication.
DefaultAzureCredentialOptions	Options to configure the DefaultAzureCredential authentication flow and requests made to Azure Identity services.
DeviceCodeCredential	A TokenCredential implementation which authenticates a user using the device code flow, and provides access tokens for that user account. For more information on the device code authentication flow see https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-dotnet/wiki/Device-Code-Flow.
DeviceCodeCredentialOptions	Options to configure the DeviceCodeCredential.
EnvironmentCredential	Enables authentication to Microsoft Entra ID using a client secret or certificate, or as a user with a username and password. Configuration is attempted in this order, using these environment variables: Service principal with secret: Variable Description AZURE_TENANT_ID The Microsoft Entra tenant (directory) ID. AZURE_CLIENT_ID The client (application) ID of an App Registration in the tenant. AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET A client secret that was generated for the App Registration. Service principal with certificate: Variable Description AZURE_TENANT_ID The Microsoft Entra tenant (directory) ID. AZURE_CLIENT_ID The client (application) ID of an App Registration in the tenant. AZURE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_PATH A path to certificate and private key pair in PEM or PFX format, which can authenticate the App Registration. AZURE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD (Optional) The password protecting the certificate file (currently only supported for PFX (PKCS12) certificates). AZURE_CLIENT_SEND_CERTIFICATE_CHAIN (Optional) Specifies whether an authentication request will include an x5c header to support subject name / issuer based authentication. When set to `true` or `1`, authentication requests include the x5c header. Username and password: Variable Description AZURE_TENANT_ID The Microsoft Entra tenant (directory) ID. AZURE_CLIENT_ID The client (application) ID of an App Registration in the tenant. AZURE_USERNAME The username, also known as upn, of a Microsoft Entra user account. AZURE_PASSWORD The password of the Microsoft Entra user account. Note this does not support accounts with MFA enabled. This credential ultimately uses a ClientSecretCredential, ClientCertificateCredential, or UsernamePasswordCredential to perform the authentication using these details. Please consult the documentation of that class for more details.
EnvironmentCredentialOptions	Options used to configure the EnvironmentCredential.
IdentityModelFactory	Model factory that enables mocking for the Azure Identity library.
InteractiveBrowserCredential	A TokenCredential implementation which launches the system default browser to interactively authenticate a user, and obtain an access token. The browser will only be launched to authenticate the user once, then will silently acquire access tokens through the users refresh token as long as it's valid.
InteractiveBrowserCredentialOptions	Options to configure the InteractiveBrowserCredential.
ManagedIdentityCredential	Attempts authentication using a managed identity that has been assigned to the deployment environment. This authentication type works for all Azure hosted environments that support managed identity. More information about configuring managed identities can be found at https://learn.microsoft.com/entra/identity/managed-identities-azure-resources/overview.
OnBehalfOfCredential	Enables authentication to Microsoft Entra ID using an On-Behalf-Of flow.
OnBehalfOfCredentialOptions
SharedTokenCacheCredential	Authenticates using tokens in a local cache file. This is a legacy mechanism for authenticating clients using credentials provided to Visual Studio. This mechanism for Visual Studio authentication has been replaced by the VisualStudioCredential.
SharedTokenCacheCredentialOptions	Options to configure the SharedTokenCacheCredential authentication.
TokenCachePersistenceOptions	Options controlling the storage of the token cache.
TokenCacheRefreshArgs	Args sent to TokenCache OnBefore and OnAfter events.
TokenCacheUpdatedArgs	Data regarding an update of a token cache.
TokenCredentialDiagnosticsOptions	Exposes client options related to logging, telemetry, and distributed tracing.
TokenCredentialOptions	Options to configure requests made to the OAUTH identity service.
UnsafeTokenCacheOptions	Options controlling the storage of the token cache.
UsernamePasswordCredential	Enables authentication to Microsoft Entra ID using a user's username and password. If the user has MFA enabled this credential will fail to get a token throwing an AuthenticationFailedException. Also, this credential requires a high degree of trust and is not recommended outside of prototyping when more secure credentials can be used.
UsernamePasswordCredentialOptions	Options to configure the UsernamePasswordCredential.
VisualStudioCodeCredential	Enables authentication to Microsoft Entra ID as the user signed in to Visual Studio Code via the 'Azure Account' extension. It's a known issue that VisualStudioCodeCredential doesn't work with Azure Account extension versions newer than 0.9.11. A long-term fix to this problem is in progress. In the meantime, consider authenticating with AzureCliCredential.
VisualStudioCodeCredentialOptions	Options for configuring the VisualStudioCodeCredential.
VisualStudioCredential	Enables authentication to Microsoft Entra ID using data from Visual Studio 2017 or later. See https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/azure/configure-visual-studio for more information on how to configure Visual Studio for Azure development.
VisualStudioCredentialOptions	Options for configuring the VisualStudioCredential.
WorkloadIdentityCredential	WorkloadIdentityCredential supports Microsoft Entra Workload ID authentication on Kubernetes and other hosts supporting workload identity. Refer to Microsoft Entra Workload ID for more information.
WorkloadIdentityCredentialOptions	Options used to configure the WorkloadIdentityCredential.

Structs

DeviceCodeInfo	Details of the device code to present to a user to allow them to authenticate through the device code authentication flow.
TokenCacheData	Details related to a UnsafeTokenCacheOptions cache delegate.
