# Azure.Identity (.NET) Authentication library for Azure SDK clients using Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD). ## Installation ```bash dotnet add package Azure.Identity # For ASP.NET Core dotnet add package Microsoft.Extensions.Azure # For brokered authentication (Windows) dotnet add package Azure.Identity.Broker ``` **Current Versions**: Stable v1.17.1, Preview v1.18.0-beta.2 ## Environment Variables ### Service Principal with Secret ```bash AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<application-client-id> AZURE_TENANT_ID=<directory-tenant-id> AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=<client-secret-value> ``` ### Service Principal with Certificate ```bash AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<application-client-id> AZURE_TENANT_ID=<directory-tenant-id> AZURE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_PATH=<path-to-pfx-or-pem> AZURE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD=<certificate-password> # Optional ``` ### Managed Identity ```bash AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<user-assigned-managed-identity-client-id> # Only for user-assigned ``` ## DefaultAzureCredential The recommended credential for most scenarios. Tries multiple authentication methods in order: | Order | Credential | Enabled by Default | |-------|------------|-------------------| | 1 | EnvironmentCredential | Yes | | 2 | WorkloadIdentityCredential | Yes | | 3 | ManagedIdentityCredential | Yes | | 4 | VisualStudioCredential | Yes | | 5 | VisualStudioCodeCredential | Yes | | 6 | AzureCliCredential | Yes | | 7 | AzurePowerShellCredential | Yes | | 8 | AzureDeveloperCliCredential | Yes | | 9 | InteractiveBrowserCredential | **No** | ### Basic Usage ```csharp using Azure.Identity; using Azure.Storage.Blobs; var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential(); var blobClient = new BlobServiceClient( new Uri("https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net"), credential); ``` ### ASP.NET Core with Dependency Injection ```csharp using Azure.Identity; using Microsoft.Extensions.Azure; builder.Services.AddAzureClients(clientBuilder => { clientBuilder.AddBlobServiceClient( new Uri("https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net")); clientBuilder.AddSecretClient( new Uri("https://myvault.vault.azure.net")); // Uses DefaultAzureCredential by default clientBuilder.UseCredential(new DefaultAzureCredential()); }); ``` ### Customizing DefaultAzureCredential ```csharp var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential( new DefaultAzureCredentialOptions { ExcludeEnvironmentCredential = true, ExcludeManagedIdentityCredential = false, ExcludeVisualStudioCredential = false, ExcludeAzureCliCredential = false, ExcludeInteractiveBrowserCredential = false, // Enable interactive TenantId = "<tenant-id>", ManagedIdentityClientId = "<user-assigned-mi-client-id>" }); ``` ## Credential Types ### ManagedIdentityCredential (Production) ```csharp // System-assigned managed identity var credential = new ManagedIdentityCredential(ManagedIdentityId.SystemAssigned); // User-assigned by client ID var credential = new ManagedIdentityCredential( ManagedIdentityId.FromUserAssignedClientId("<client-id>")); // User-assigned by resource ID var credential = new ManagedIdentityCredential( ManagedIdentityId.FromUserAssignedResourceId("<resource-id>")); ``` ### ClientSecretCredential ```csharp var credential = new ClientSecretCredential( tenantId: "<tenant-id>", clientId: "<client-id>", clientSecret: "<client-secret>"); var client = new SecretClient( new Uri("https://myvault.vault.azure.net"), credential); ``` ### ClientCertificateCredential ```csharp var certificate = X509CertificateLoader.LoadCertificateFromFile("MyCertificate.pfx"); var credential = new ClientCertificateCredential( tenantId: "<tenant-id>", clientId: "<client-id>", certificate); ``` ### ChainedTokenCredential (Custom Chain) ```csharp var credential = new ChainedTokenCredential( new ManagedIdentityCredential(), new AzureCliCredential()); var client = new SecretClient( new Uri("https://myvault.vault.azure.net"), credential); ``` ### Developer Credentials ```csharp // Azure CLI var credential = new AzureCliCredential(); // Azure PowerShell var credential = new AzurePowerShellCredential(); // Azure Developer CLI (azd) var credential = new AzureDeveloperCliCredential(); // Visual Studio var credential = new VisualStudioCredential(); // Interactive Browser var credential = new InteractiveBrowserCredential(); ``` ## Environment-Based Configuration ```csharp // Production vs Development TokenCredential credential = builder.Environment.IsProduction() ? new ManagedIdentityCredential("<client-id>") : new DefaultAzureCredential(); ``` ## Sovereign Clouds ```csharp var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential( new DefaultAzureCredentialOptions { AuthorityHost = AzureAuthorityHosts.AzureGovernment }); // Available authority hosts: // AzureAuthorityHosts.AzurePublicCloud (default) // AzureAuthorityHosts.AzureGovernment // AzureAuthorityHosts.AzureChina // AzureAuthorityHosts.AzureGermany ``` ## Credential Types Reference | Category | Credential | Purpose | |----------|------------|---------| | **Chains** | `DefaultAzureCredential` | Preconfigured chain for dev-to-prod | | | `ChainedTokenCredential` | Custom credential chain | | **Azure-Hosted** | `ManagedIdentityCredential` | Azure managed identity | | | `WorkloadIdentityCredential` | Kubernetes workload identity | | | `EnvironmentCredential` | Environment variables | | **Service Principal** | `ClientSecretCredential` | Client ID + secret | | | `ClientCertificateCredential` | Client ID + certificate | | | `ClientAssertionCredential` | Signed client assertion | | **User** | `InteractiveBrowserCredential` | Browser-based auth | | | `DeviceCodeCredential` | Device code flow | | | `OnBehalfOfCredential` | Delegated identity | | **Developer** | `AzureCliCredential` | Azure CLI | | | `AzurePowerShellCredential` | Azure PowerShell | | | `AzureDeveloperCliCredential` | Azure Developer CLI | | | `VisualStudioCredential` | Visual Studio | ## Best Practices ### 1. Use Deterministic Credentials in Production ```csharp // Development var devCredential = new DefaultAzureCredential(); // Production - use specific credential var prodCredential = new ManagedIdentityCredential("<client-id>"); ``` ### 2. Reuse Credential Instances ```csharp // Good: Single credential instance shared across clients var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential(); var blobClient = new BlobServiceClient(blobUri, credential); var secretClient = new SecretClient(vaultUri, credential); ``` ### 3. Configure Retry Policies ```csharp var options = new ManagedIdentityCredentialOptions( ManagedIdentityId.FromUserAssignedClientId(clientId)) { Retry = { MaxRetries = 3, Delay = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0.5), } }; var credential = new ManagedIdentityCredential(options); ``` ### 4. Enable Logging for Debugging ```csharp using Azure.Core.Diagnostics; using AzureEventSourceListener listener = new((args, message) => { if (args is { EventSource.Name: "Azure-Identity" }) { Console.WriteLine(message); } }, EventLevel.LogAlways); ``` ## Error Handling ```csharp using Azure.Identity; using Azure.Security.KeyVault.Secrets; var client = new SecretClient( new Uri("https://myvault.vault.azure.net"), new DefaultAzureCredential()); try { KeyVaultSecret secret = await client.GetSecretAsync("secret1"); } catch (AuthenticationFailedException e) { Console.WriteLine($"Authentication Failed: {e.Message}"); } catch (CredentialUnavailableException e) { Console.WriteLine($"Credential Unavailable: {e.Message}"); } ``` ## Key Exceptions | Exception | Description | |-----------|-------------| | `AuthenticationFailedException` | Base exception for authentication errors | | `CredentialUnavailableException` | Credential cannot authenticate in current environment | | `AuthenticationRequiredException` | Interactive authentication is required | ## Managed Identity Support Supported Azure services: - Azure App Service and Azure Functions - Azure Arc - Azure Cloud Shell - Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) - Azure Service Fabric - Azure Virtual Machines - Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets ## Thread Safety All credential implementations are thread-safe. A single credential instance can be safely shared across multiple clients and threads. ## Related SDKs | SDK | Purpose | Install | |-----|---------|---------| | `Azure.Identity` | Authentication (this SDK) | `dotnet add package Azure.Identity` | | `Microsoft.Extensions.Azure` | DI integration | `dotnet add package Microsoft.Extensions.Azure` | | `Azure.Identity.Broker` | Brokered auth (Windows) | `dotnet add package Azure.Identity.Broker` | ## Reference Links | Resource | URL | |----------|-----| | NuGet Package | https://www.nuget.org/packages/Azure.Identity | | API Reference | https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/azure.identity | | Credential Chains | https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/azure/sdk/authentication/credential-chains | | Best Practices | https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/azure/sdk/authentication/best-practices | | GitHub Source | https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/tree/main/sdk/identity/Azure.Identity | ## When to Use This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview. ## Diff History - **v00.33.0**: Ingested from antigravity-awesome-skills community repo --- ## Why This Skill Exists Implement — Azure Identity SDK for .NET.
