AuthorityValidationOptions interface

Package:

@azure/identity

Provides options to configure how the Identity library does authority validation during authentication requests to Microsoft Entra ID.

Properties

disableInstanceDiscovery

The field determines whether instance discovery is performed when attempting to authenticate. Setting this to true will completely disable both instance discovery and authority validation. As a result, it's crucial to ensure that the configured authority host is valid and trustworthy. This functionality is intended for use in scenarios where the metadata endpoint cannot be reached, such as in private clouds or Azure Stack. The process of instance discovery entails retrieving authority metadata from https://login.microsoft.com/ to validate the authority.
