How to upload a blob from an Arc machine whose managed identity has blob contributor access?

Question

I'm trying to upload a blob using the managed identity(that was given blob contributor access to a blob container) and NOT account key or SAS.

I've successfully created an access token. I've also done a "connect-azaccount -identity", but every thing I google for how to upload a blob says I need an SAS or storage key. How can I upload a blob without an SAS or account key?

edit: using azcopy is the answer

Answer 1

Used azcopy login -identity on arc machine and that worked.
