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 |
Simplifies authentication while developing apps that deploy to Azure by combining credentials used in Azure hosting environments with credentials used in local development. In production, it's better to use something else. See Usage guidance for DefaultAzureCredential. Attempts to authenticate with each of these credentials, in the following order, stopping when one provides a token: Consult the documentation of these credentials 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:
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.
