1.22.0-beta.1 (Unreleased)

Features Added

Breaking Changes

Bugs Fixed

Other Changes

1.17.2 (2026-04-15)

Other Changes

  • Updated Microsoft.Identity.Client and Microsoft.Identity.Client.Extensions.Msal dependencies to version 4.83.1.

1.21.0 (2026-04-10)

Other Changes

  • All Azure.Identity types have been moved to Azure.Core and are now available through TypeForwardedTo attributes. This is a non-breaking change — existing code continues to work transparently. See the Migration Guide for details.

1.20.0 (2026-03-30)

Features Added

  • Added a JSON schema segment to the NuGet package that provides IntelliSense and validation for Azure.Identity credential configuration in appsettings.json.

Breaking Changes

  • AddAzureClient, AddKeyedAzureClient, and WithAzureCredential return type changed from IHostApplicationBuilder to IClientBuilder to align with the IClientBuilder composition change in System.ClientModel.

1.19.0 (2026-03-11)

Features Added

  • Added support in ClientCertificateCredential to specify a path in the form of cert:/StoreLocation/StoreName/Thumbprint to refer to a certificate in the platform certificate store - such as the Windows Certificate Store on Windows, and the KeyChain on MacOS - instead of a file on disk. For example to load a certificate from the "My" store in the "CurrentUser" location use the path cert:/CurrentUser/My/E661583E8FABEF4C0BEF694CBC41C28FB81CD870 (A community contribution, courtesy of fowl2).

Other Changes

  • Updated Microsoft.Identity.Client and Microsoft.Identity.Client.Extensions.Msal dependencies to version 4.83.1.

1.18.0 (2026-02-25)

Features Added

  • Added experimental Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration and Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection integration for Azure SDK clients. For details, see the Configuration and Dependency Injection documentation.

  • The WorkloadIdentityCredentialOptions.IsAzureProxyEnabled property, which enables Azure Kubernetes token proxy mode, is only available in beta releases of this package.

  • AzureDeveloperCliCredential now parses JSON error output from azd auth token to extract clean error messages instead of including raw JSON in exceptions. Error messages like {"type":"consoleMessage","data":{"message":"ERROR: fetching token: ..."}} are now displayed as ERROR: fetching token: ....

1.18.0-beta.3 (2026-02-20)

Breaking Changes

  • Renamed WorkloadIdentityCredentialOptions.IsAzureKubernetesTokenProxyEnabled to IsAzureProxyEnabled to follow .NET naming conventions for boolean properties.

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed a NullReferenceException that occurred during X509Chain validation on Linux when using the Identity Bindings feature.

  • Disabled MSAL's internal retry logic for ConfidentialClientApplication and PublicClientApplication to prevent double retries when combined with Azure SDK's retry policy. Only the configured Azure SDK retry policy is applied, avoiding unexpected additional retry attempts.

1.18.0-beta.2 (2025-11-19)

Other Changes

  • Updated Microsoft.Identity.Client and Microsoft.Identity.Client.Extensions.Msal dependencies to version 4.78.0.

1.17.1 (2025-11-18)

Other Changes

  • Updated Microsoft.Identity.Client and Microsoft.Identity.Client.Extensions.Msal dependencies to version 4.78.0.

1.18.0-beta.1 (2025-11-14)

Features Added

  • Added Kubernetes token proxy support (identity binding mode) to WorkloadIdentityCredential. When enabled via the IsAzureKubernetesTokenProxyEnabled option, the credential redirects token requests to an AKS-provided proxy to support scenarios exceeding the 20 federated identity credential limit per Entra ID application. This feature is opt-in and only available when using WorkloadIdentityCredential directly (not supported by DefaultAzureCredential or ManagedIdentityCredential).

Other Changes

  • Deprecated legacy ManagedIdentityCredential constructors. Use ManagedIdentityCredential(ManagedIdentityId id) or ManagedIdentityCredential(ManagedIdentityCredentialOptions options) instead for clearer intent when specifying system-assigned or user-assigned managed identity. (#53800)

1.17.0 (2025-10-07)

Bugs Fixed

  • TenantId is now configured via MSAL's WithTenantId instead of WithTenantIdFromAuthority to prevent malformed Uris to the authority.

Other Changes

  • Deprecated BrowserCustomizationOptions.UseEmbeddedWebView property. This option requires additional dependencies on Microsoft.Identity.Client.Desktop and is no longer supported. Consider using brokered authentication instead.

1.16.0 (2025-09-09)

Features Added

  • Added a new DefaultAzureCredential constructor that accepts a custom environment variable name for credential configuration. This provides flexibility beyond the default AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS environment variable. The constructor accepts any environment variable name and uses the same credential selection logic as the existing AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS processing.
  • Added DefaultAzureCredential.DefaultEnvironmentVariableName constant property that returns "AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS" for convenience when referencing the default environment variable name.
  • AzureCliCredential, AzurePowerShellCredential, and AzureDeveloperCliCredential now throw an AuthenticationFailedException when the TokenRequestContext includes claims, as these credentials do not support claims challenges. The exception message includes guidance for handling such scenarios.
  • When AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS or the equivalent custom environment variable is configured to ManagedIdentityCredential, the DefaultAzureCredential does not issue a probe request and performs retries with exponential backoff.

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed AzureDeveloperCliCredential hanging when the AZD_DEBUG environment variable is set by adding the --no-prompt flag to prevent interactive prompts (#52005).
  • BrokerCredential is now included in the chain when AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS is set to dev.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented ManagedIdentityCredential from utilizing the token cache in Workload Identity Federation environments.
  • Fixed a bug in DefaultAzureCredential that caused the credential chain to be constructed incorrectly when using AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS in combination with DefaultAzureCredentialOptions.

Other Changes

  • The BrokerCredential is now always included in the DefaultAzureCredential chain. If the Azure.Identity.Broker package is not referenced, an exception will be thrown when GetToken is called, making its behavior consistent with the rest of the credentials in the chain.
  • Updated Microsoft.Identity.Client dependency to version 4.76.0.
  • Updated Microsoft.Identity.Client.Extensions.Msal dependency to version 4.76.0.

1.15.0 (2025-08-11)

Breaking Changes

Behavioral Breaking Changes

  • Deprecated SharedTokenCacheCredential. The supporting credential (SharedTokenCacheCredential) was a legacy mechanism for authenticating clients using credentials provided to Visual Studio. For brokered authentication, consider using InteractiveBrowserCredential instead. The following changes have been made:
    • SharedTokenCacheCredential class is marked as [Obsolete] and [EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)]
    • SharedTokenCacheCredentialOptions class is marked as [Obsolete] and [EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)]
    • DefaultAzureCredentialOptions.ExcludeSharedTokenCacheCredential property is marked as [Obsolete] and [EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)]
    • SharedTokenCacheUsername property is marked as [Obsolete] and [EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)]
    • SharedTokenCacheCredential is no longer included in the DefaultAzureCredential authentication flow

Bugs Fixed

  • Tenant ID comparisons in credential options are now case-insensitive. This affects AdditionallyAllowedTenants values which will now be matched against tenant IDs without case sensitivity, making the authentication more resilient to case differences in tenant IDs returned from WWW-Authenticate challenges (#51693).

Other Changes

  • BrokerAuthenticationCredential has been renamed as BrokerCredential.

  • Added the EditorBrowsable(Never) attribute to property VisualStudioCodeTenantId as TenantId is preferred. The VisualStudioCodeTenantId property exists only to provide backwards compatibility.

1.15.0-beta.1 (2025-07-17)

Features Added

  • Expanded the set of acceptable values for environment variable AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS to allow for selection of a specific credential in the DefaultAzureCredential chain. The valid values now include any of the credential names available in the default chain (VisualStudioCredential, VisualStudioCodeCredential, AzureCliCredential, AzurePowerShellCredential, AzureDeveloperCliCredential, EnvironmentCredential, WorkloadIdentityCredential, ManagedIdentityCredential, InteractiveBrowserCredential, or BrokerAuthenticationCredential.) Note: BrokerAuthenticationCredential requires that the project include a reference to package Azure.Identity.Broker.

  • Re-introduced VisualStudioCodeCredential and included it in the DefaultAzureCredential authentication flow. This credential now supports Single Sign-On (SSO) through the authentication broker on Windows, macOS, and Linux using the Azure.Identity.Broker package.

Bugs Fixed

  • ManagedIdentityCredential now retries 410 status responses for at least 70 seconds total duration as required by Azure IMDS documentation. Previously, 410 responses were retried with the same short exponential backoff as other status codes, resulting in insufficient retry duration (#50724).
  • ManagedIdentityCredential throws CredentialUnavailableException when the IMDS endpoint is unavailable. This addresses a regression in how it behaves in the ChainedTokenCredential (47057).

Other Changes

  • VisualStudioCredential throws CredentialUnavailableException for all failures except for OperationCancelledException due to cancellation being requested for a CancellationToken. This ensures that it falls through for most failures when part of a chained credential.
  • Removed AzureApplicationCredential. For context, see issue 49781.

1.14.2 (2025-07-10)

Other changes

  • Updated Microsoft.Identity.Client dependency to version 4.73.1 to take a security fix.

1.14.1 (2025-06-24)

Bugs Fixed

  • Added support in AzurePowerShellCredential for the Az.Accounts 5.0.0+ (Az 14.0.0+) breaking change where Get-AzAccessToken returns PSSecureAccessToken with a SecureString Token property instead of plaintext.

1.14.0 (2025-05-13)

Other Changes

  • Removed references to Username, Password, AZURE_USERNAME, and AZURE_PASSWORD in XML comments from EnvironmentCredentialOptions and EnvironmentCredential due to lack of MFA support. See MFA enforcement details.
  • Marked AZURE_USERNAME and AZURE_PASSWORD as obsolete due to lack of MFA support. See MFA enforcement details.
  • Added support for the AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS environment variable to DefaultAzureCredential, which allows for choosing between 'deployed service' and 'developer tools' credentials. Valid values are 'dev' for developer tools and 'prod' for deployed service.

1.14.0-beta.4 (2025-05-01)

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed an issue where Azure CLI credential could hang or delay due to I/O contention when standard input/output was shared with the host process (#49582).

Other Changes

  • Updated Microsoft.Identity.Client dependency to version 4.71.1

1.14.0-beta.3 (2025-04-08)

Features Added

  • DefaultAzureCredential now includes silent authentication via the authentication broker on Windows if the Azure.Identity.Broker NuGet package is referenced. This allows for a more seamless authentication experience when using the DefaultAzureCredential in Windows environments. Setting the ExcludeBrokerCredential property on DefaultAzureCredentialOptions disables this feature.

Bugs Fixed

  • DefaultAzureCredential no longer sends a probe request on each call to GetToken. It now only happens on the first call.

Other Changes

  • Marked VisualStudioCodeCredential as obsolete because the VS Code Azure Account extension on which this credential relies has been deprecated. See the Azure Account extension deprecation notice here.

1.14.0-beta.2 (2025-03-11)

Bugs Fixed

  • VisualStudioCredential will now correctly fall through to the next credential in the chain when no account is found by Visual Studio. (#48464)

Other Changes

  • Updated Microsoft.Identity.Client dependency to version 4.69.1.
  • ManagedIdentityCredential now properly supports CAE.
  • An event is now logged when the ManagedIdentityCredential is used directly or indirectly via a credential chain indicating which managed identity source was selected and which ManagedIdentityId was specified.
  • Marked UsernamePasswordCredential as obsolete because Resource Owner Password Credentials (ROPC) token grant flow is incompatible with multifactor authentication (MFA), which Microsoft Entra ID requires for all tenants. See https://aka.ms/azsdk/identity/mfa for details about MFA enforcement and migration guidance.

1.14.0-beta.1 (2025-02-11)

Features Added

  • Added a Subscription property to AzureCliCredentialOptions to allow specifying the Azure subscription ID or name to use when authenticating with the Azure CLI.

Bugs Fixed

  • Null or empty responses from IMDS probe attempts will now fall through to the next credential in the chain (#47844)

Other Changes

  • AzurePowerShellCredential no longer relies on APIs that are not available in Constrained Language Mode.

1.13.2 (2025-01-14)

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed an issue where setting DefaultAzureCredentialOptions.TenantId twice throws an InvalidOperationException (#47035)
  • Fixed an issue where ManagedIdentityCredential does not honor the CancellationToken passed to GetToken and GetTokenAsync. (#47156)
  • Fixed an issue where some credentials in DefaultAzureCredential would not fall through to the next credential in the chain under certain exception conditions.
  • Fixed a regression in ManagedIdentityCredential when used in a ChainedTokenCredential where the invalid json responses do not fall through to the next credential in the chain. (#47470)

1.13.1 (2024-10-24)

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed a regression that prevented ManagedIdentityCredential from attempting to detect if Workload Identity is enabled in the current environment. #46653
  • Fixed a regression that prevented DefaultAzureCredential from progressing past ManagedIdentityCredential in some scenarios where the identity was not available. #46709

1.13.0 (2024-10-14)

Breaking Changes

  • Previously, if a clientID or ResourceID was specified for Cloud Shell managed identity, which is not supported, the clientID or resourceID would be silently ignored. Now, an exception will be thrown if a clientID or resourceID is specified for Cloud Shell managed identity.
  • Previously, if a clientID or ResourceID was specified for Service Fabric managed identity, which is not supported, the clientID or resourceID would be silently ignored. Now, an exception will be thrown if a clientID or resourceID is specified for Service Fabric managed identity.

Features Added

  • ManagedIdentityCredential now supports specifying a user-assigned managed identity by object ID.

Bugs Fixed

  • If DefaultAzureCredential attempts to authenticate with the MangagedIdentityCredential and it receives either a failed response that is not json, it will now fall through to the next credential in the chain. #45184
  • Fixed the request sent in AzurePipelinesCredential so it doesn't result in a redirect response when an invalid system access token is provided.
  • Updated to version 4.65.0 of Microsoft.Identity.Client to address a bug preventing the use of alternate authority types such as dStS (4927) .

Other Changes

  • The logging level passed to MSAL now correlates to the log level configured on your configured AzureEventSourceListener. Previously, the log level was always set to Microsoft.Identity.Client.LogLevel.Info.
  • AzurePowerShellCredential now utilizes the AsSecureString parameter to Get-AzAccessToken for version 2.17.0 and greater of the Az.Accounts module.
  • Improved error logging for AzurePipelinesCredential.

1.13.0-beta.2 (2024-09-17)

Features Added

  • ManagedIdentityCredential now supports specifying a user-assigned managed identity by object ID.

Bugs Fixed

  • If DefaultAzureCredential attempts to authenticate with the MangagedIdentityCredential and it receives either a failed response that is not json, it will now fall through to the next credential in the chain. #45184

Other Changes

  • AzurePowerShellCredential now utilizes the AsSecureString parameter to Get-AzAccessToken for version 2.17.0 and greater of the Az.Accounts module.

1.13.0-beta.1 (2024-07-24)

Breaking Changes

  • Previously, if a clientID or ResourceID was specified for Cloud Shell managed identity, which is not supported, the clientID or resourceID would be silently ignored. Now, an exception will be thrown if a clientID or resourceID is specified for Cloud Shell managed identity.

Other Changes

  • The logging level passed to MSAL now correlates to the log level configured on your configured AzureEventSourceListener. Previously, the log level was always set to Microsoft.Identity.Client.LogLevel.Info.

1.12.0 (2024-06-17)

Features Added

  • Added AzurePipelinesCredential for authenticating with Azure Pipelines service connections.
  • OnBehalfOfCredential now supports client assertion callbacks for acquiring tokens on behalf of a user.
  • All credentials now support setting RefreshOn value if received from MSAL.
  • ManagedIdentityCredential sets RefreshOn value of half the token lifetime for AccessTokens with an ExpiresOn value greater than 2 hours in the future.
  • ClientAssertionCredentialOptions now supports TokenCachePersistenceOptions for configuring token cache persistence.

1.12.0-beta.3 (2024-06-11)

Features Added

  • OnBehalfOfCredential now supports client assertion callbacks for acquiring tokens on behalf of a user.
  • All credentials now support setting RefreshOn value if received from MSAL.
  • ManagedIdentityCredential sets RefreshOn value of half the token lifetime for AccessTokens with an ExpiresOn value greater than 2 hours in the future.

Breaking Changes

  • The constructor of AzurePipelinesCredential now includes additional required parameters for the Azure Pipelines service connection.

Bugs Fixed

  • Bug fixes for AzurePipelinesCredential
  • Managed identity bug fixes.

1.11.4 (2024-06-10)

Bugs Fixed

  • Managed identity bug fixes.

1.12.0-beta.2 (2024-05-07)

Features Added

  • ClientAssertionCredentialOptions now supports TokenCachePersistenceOptions for configuring token cache persistence.
  • Added AzurePipelinesCredential for authenticating with Azure Pipelines service connections.

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed a regression in DefaultAzureCredential probe request behavior for IMDS managed identity environments. #43796

1.11.3 (2024-05-07)

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed a regression in DefaultAzureCredential probe request behavior for IMDS managed identity environments. #43796

1.12.0-beta.1 (2024-04-23)

Bugs Fixed

  • An experimental overload Authenticate method on InteractiveBrowserCredential now supports the experimental PopTokenRequestContext parameter.

1.11.2 (2024-04-19)

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed an issue which caused claims to be incorrectly added to confidential client credentials such as DeviceCodeCredential #43468

1.11.1 (2024-04-16)

Other Changes

  • Updated Microsoft.Identity.Client and related dependencies to version 4.60.3

1.11.0 (2024-04-09)

Bugs Fixed

  • AzurePowerShellCredential now handles the case where it falls back to legacy PowerShell without relying on the error message string.

Breaking Changes

  • DefaultAzureCredential now sends a probe request with no retries for IMDS managed identity environments to avoid excessive retry delays when the IMDS endpoint is not available. This should improve credential chain resolution for local development scenarios. See BREAKING_CHANGES.md.

1.11.0-beta.1 (2024-02-06)

Bugs Fixed

  • Claims from the TokenRequestContext are now correctly sent through to MSAL in ConfidentialClient credentials. #40451.
  • ManagedIdentityCredential is more lenient with the error message it matches when falling through to the next credential in the chain in the case that Docker Desktop returns a 403 response when attempting to access the IMDS endpoint. #38218

Other Changes

  • AzureCliCredential utilizes the new expires_on property returned by az account get-access-token to determine token expiration.

1.10.4 (2023-11-13)

Breaking Changes

  • One of Azure.Identity's dependencies, Microsoft.Identity.Client, inadvertently added a dependency to WindowsForms when targeting netX.0-windows instead of netX.0 in version 4.56.0. An additional installation of .NET Desktop Runtime may be necessary. Manually adding a reference to the latest Microsoft.Identity.Client will remove the need for the .NET Desktop Runtime. #44232

Other Changes

1.10.3 (2023-10-18)

Bugs Fixed

  • ManagedIdentityCredential will now correctly retry when the instance metadata endpoint returns a 410 response. #28568

Other Changes

  • Updated Microsoft.Identity.Client dependency to version 4.56.0

1.10.2 (2023-10-10)

Bugs Fixed

  • Bug fixes for development time credentials.

1.10.1 (2023-09-12)

Bugs Fixed

  • ManagedIdentityCredential will fall through to the next credential in the chain in the case that Docker Desktop returns a 403 response when attempting to access the IMDS endpoint. #38218
  • Fixed an issue where interactive credentials would still prompt on the first GetToken request even when the cache is populated and an AuthenticationRecord is provided. #38431

1.10.0 (2023-08-14)

Features Added

  • Added BrowserCustomization property to InteractiveBrowserCredential to enable web view customization for interactive authentication.

Bugs Fixed

  • ManagedIdentityCredential will no longer attempt to parse invalid json payloads on responses from the managed identity endpoint.
  • Fixed an issue where AzurePowerShellCredential fails to parse the token response from Azure PowerShell. #22638

1.10.0-beta.1 (2023-07-17)

Features Added

  • Continuous Access Evaluation (CAE) is now configurable per-request by setting the IsCaeEnabled property of TokenRequestContext via its constructor.
  • Added IsUnsafeSupportLoggingEnabled property to TokenCredentialOptions which equates to passing 'true' for the enablePiiLogging parameter to the 'WithLogging' method on the MSAL client builder.

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed an issue with TokenCachePersistenceOptions where credentials in the same process would share the same cache, even if they had different configured names.
  • ManagedIdentityCredential now ignores empty ClientId values. #37100
  • ManagedIdentityCredential will no longer attempt to parse invalid json payloads on responses from the managed identity endpoint.
  • When utilizing EnvironmentCredential from DefaultAzureCredential the credential will now override the TENANT_ID environment value if the TenantId value is set in DefaultAzureCredentialOptions.

Other Changes

  • All developer credentials in the DefaultAzureCredential credential chain will fall through to the next credential in the chain on any failure. Previously, some exceptions would throw AuthenticationFailedException, which stops further progress in the chain.

1.9.0 (2023-05-09)

Breaking Changes

  • Changed visibility of all environment variable based properties on EnvironmentCredentialOptions to internal. These options are again only configurable via environment variables.

1.9.0-beta.3 (2023-04-12)

Breaking Changes

  • Renamed the developer credential options timeout settings as follows:
    • AzureCliCredential to AzureCliCredentialOptions.ProcessTimeout
    • AzurePowerShellCredential to AzurePowerShellCredentialOptions.ProcessTimeout
    • VisualStudioCredential to VisualStudioCredentialOptions.ProcessTimeout
    • AzureDeveloperCliCredential to AzureDeveloperCliCredentialOptions.ProcessTimeout

Bugs Fixed

  • Setting DefaultAzureCredentialOptions.ExcludeWorkloadIdentityCredential to true also excludes TokenExchangeManagedIdentitySource when using DefaultAzureCredential selects the ManagedIdentityCredential

1.9.0-beta.2 (2023-02-21)

Features Added

  • Allow VisualStudioCredential on non-Windows platforms
  • Added AzureDeveloperCliCredential for Azure Developer CLI
  • Added WorkloadIdentityCredential to support Azure Workload Identity authentication
  • Added WorkloadIdentityCredential and AzureDeveloperCliCredential to the DefaultAzureCredential authentication flow.

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed ManagedIdentityCredential authentication in sovereign clouds for services specifying TenantId through authentication challenge #34077

Breaking Changes

  • Previously, if environment variables for username and password auth are set in addition to the AZURE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_PATH, EnvironmentCredential would select the UsernamePasswordCredential. After this change, ClientCertificateCredential will be selected, which is consistent with all other languages. This is potentially a behavioral breaking change.

1.8.2 (2023-02-08)

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed error message parsing in AzurePowerShellCredential which would misinterpret Microsoft Entra ID errors with the need to install PowerShell. #31998
  • Fix regional endpoint validation error when using ManagedIdentityCredential. [#32498])(#32498)

1.8.1 (2023-01-13)

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed an issue when using ManagedIdentityCredential in combination with authorities other than Azure public cloud that resulted in a incorrect instance metadata validation error. #32498

1.8.0 (2022-11-08)

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed error message parsing in AzureCliCredential which would misinterpret Microsoft Entra ID errors with the need to login with az login. #26894, #29109
  • ManagedIdentityCredential will no longer fail when a response received from the endpoint is invalid JSON. It now treats this scenario as if the credential is unavailable. #30467, #32061

1.9.0-beta.1 (2022-10-13)

Features Added

  • Credentials that are implemented via launching a sub-process to acquire tokens now have configurable timeouts. This addresses scenarios where these proceses can take longer than the current default timeout values. (A community contribution, courtesy of reynaldoburgos). The affected credentials and their associated options are:
    • AzureCliCredential and AzureCliCredentialOptions.CliProcessTimeout
    • AzurePowerShellCredential and AzurePowerShellCredentialOptions.PowerShellProcessTimeout
    • VisualStudioCredential and VisualStudioCredentialOptions.VisualStudioProcessTimeout
    • DefaultAzureCredential and DefaultAzureCredentialOptions.DeveloperCredentialTimeout Note: this option applies to all developer credentials above when using DefaultAzureCredential.

Thank you to our developer community members who helped to make Azure Identity better with their contributions to this release:

1.8.0-beta.1 (2022-10-13)

Features Added

  • Reintroduced ManagedIdentityCredential token caching support from 1.7.0-beta.1
  • EnvironmentCredential updated to support specifying a certificate password via the AZURE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD environment variable

Breaking Changes

  • Excluded VisualStudioCodeCredential from DefaultAzureCredential token chain by default as SDK authentication via Visual Studio Code is broken due to issue #27263. The VisualStudioCodeCredential will be re-enabled in the DefaultAzureCredential flow once a fix is in place. Issue #30525 tracks this. In the meantime Visual Studio Code users can authenticate their development environment using the Azure CLI.

1.7.0 (2022-09-19)

Features Added

  • Added AdditionallyAllowedTenants to the following credential options to force explicit opt-in behavior for multi-tenant authentication:
    • AuthorizationCodeCredentialOptions
    • AzureCliCredentialOptions
    • AzurePowerShellCredentialOptions
    • ClientAssertionCredentialOptions
    • ClientCertificateCredentialOptions
    • ClientSecretCredentialOptions
    • DefaultAzureCredentialOptions
    • OnBehalfOfCredentialOptions
    • UsernamePasswordCredentialOptions
    • VisualStudioCodeCredentialOptions
    • VisualStudioCredentialOptions
  • Added TenantId to DefaultAzureCredentialOptions to avoid having to set InteractiveBrowserTenantId, SharedTokenCacheTenantId, VisualStudioCodeTenantId, and VisualStudioTenantId individually.

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed overly restrictive scope validation to allow the '_' character, for common scopes such as user_impersonation #30647

Breaking Changes

  • Credential types supporting multi-tenant authentication will now throw AuthenticationFailedException if the requested tenant ID doesn't match the credential's tenant ID, and is not included in the AdditionallyAllowedTenants option. Applications must now explicitly add additional tenants to the AdditionallyAllowedTenants list, or add '*' to list, to enable acquiring tokens from tenants other than the originally specified tenant ID. See BREAKING_CHANGES.md.
  • ManagedIdentityCredential token caching added in 1.7.0-beta.1 has been removed from this release and will be added back in 1.8.0-beta.1

1.7.0-beta.1 (2022-08-09)

Features Added

  • ManagedIdentityCredential will now internally cache tokens. Apps can call GetToken or GetTokenAsync directly without needing to cache to avoid throttling.

1.6.1 (2022-08-08)

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed AZURE_REGIONAL_AUTHORITY_NAME support in ClientCertificateCredential #29112
  • Fixed regression in SharedTokenCacheCredential default behavior #28029
  • Fixed legacy PowerShell discovery failures #28030 (A community contribution, courtesy of nerddtvg)

Other Changes

  • Documentation improvements to TokenCacheRefreshArgs and EnvironmentCredential (Community contributions, courtesy of pmaytak and goenning)

Acknowledgments

Thank you to our developer community members who helped to make Azure Identity better with their contributions to this release:

1.6.0 (2022-04-05)

Features Added

  • Added a new property under the Diagnostics options available on TokenCredentialOptions and all sub-types. If set to true, we try to log the account identifiers by parsing the received access token. The account identifiers we try to log are the:
    • Application or Client Identifier
    • User Principal Name
    • Tenant Identifier
    • Object Identifier of the authenticated user or app
  • ManagedIdentityCredential now attempts to use the newest "2019-08-01" api version for App Service Managed Identity sources. The newer API version will be used if the IDENTITY_ENDPOINT and IDENTITY_HEADER environment variables are set.

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed an issue where the x5c header is not sent for OnBehalfOfCredential when the SendCertificateChain option is set. #27679

1.6.0-beta.1 (2022-02-11)

Features Added

  • EnvironmentCredential now supports certificate subject name / issuer based authentication with AZURE_CLIENT_SEND_CERTIFICATE_CHAIN environment variable (A community contribution, courtesy of trevorlacey-msft).
  • ManagedIdentityCredential now supports accepting a ResourceIdentifier argument to specify a User Assigned Managed Identity by resource Id rather than client Id. DefaultAzureCredential also supports this via the ManagedIdentityResourceId property of DefaultAzureCredentialOptions.
  • Added ClientAssertionCredential for authenticating service principals with a presigned client assertion.

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed AuthenticationFailedException from AzurePowerSheellCredential when not logged in on non-windows platforms #23498
  • Fixed ManagedIdentityCredential response parsing to handle non-json responses #24158

Other Changes

  • Upgraded MSAL dependency to version 4.39.0

Acknowledgments

Thank you to our developer community members who helped to make Azure Identity better with their contributions to this release:

1.5.0 (2021-10-14)

Breaking Changes from 1.5.0-beta.4

  • The AllowMultiTenantAuthentication option has been removed and the default behavior is now as if it were true. The multi-tenant discovery feature can be totally disabled by either setting an AppContext switch named "Azure.Identity.DisableTenantDiscovery" to true or by setting the environment variable "AZURE_IDENTITY_DISABLE_MULTITENANTAUTH" to "true".
  • Removed the IsPIILoggingEnabled property from TokenCredentialOptions, similar functionality is planned to be added to TokenCredentialOptions.Diagnostics in a later release.
  • Removed RegionalAuthority from ClientCertificateCredentialOptions and ClientSecretCredentialOptions, along with the RegionalAuthority type.
  • Renamed struct TokenCacheDetails to TokenCacheData.
  • Renamed class TokenCacheNotificationDetails to TokenCacheRefreshArgs.
  • Updated CacheBytes property on TokenCacheData to be readonly and a required constructor parameter.

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed issue with AuthorizationCodeCredential not specifying correct redirectUrl (Issue #24183)

Other Changes

1.5.0-beta.3 (2021-08-10)

Acknowledgments

Thank you to our developer community members who helped to make Azure Identity better with their contributions to this release:

Features Added

  • A new trace event is now logged when DefaultAzureCredential selects a credential during initialization.
  • Added AzureApplicationCredential
  • Added IsPIILoggingEnabled property to TokenCredentialOptions, which controls whether MSAL PII logging is enabled, and other sensitive credential related logging content.

Breaking Changes

  • Renamed AZURE_POD_IDENTITY_TOKEN_URL to AZURE_POD_IDENTITY_AUTHORITY_HOST. The value should now be a host, for example "http://169.254.169.254" (the default).

Bugs Fixed

  • Stopped loading $PROFILE and checking for updates when using AzurePowerShellCredential.
  • Fixed unrecognized argument issue in AzureCliCredential when specifying the TenantId option. #23158 (A community contribution, courtesy of tomas-pajurek).
  • Handled an additional error scenario for AzureCliCredential that prompts developers to run az login when needed. #21758
  • Fixed an issue in EnvironmentCredential where the supplied options were not getting properly applied. #22787
  • Fixed DateTime parsing to use the current culture in AzurePowerShellCredential. #22638

1.4.1 (2021-08-04)

Fixes and improvements

  • Fixed issue resulting in duplicate event source names when executing in Azure Functions

1.5.0-beta.2 (2021-07-12)

New Features

  • Added regional STS support to client credential types
    • Added RegionalAuthority extensible enum
    • Added RegionalAuthority property to ClientSecretCredentialOptions and ClientCertificateCredentialOptions
  • Added support to ManagedIdentityCredential for Bridge to Kubernetes local development authentication.
  • TenantId values returned from service challenge responses can now be used to request tokens from the correct tenantId. To support this feature, there is a new AllowMultiTenantAuthentication option on TokenCredentialOptions.
    • By default, AllowMultiTenantAuthentication is false. When this option property is false and the tenant Id configured in the credential options differs from the tenant Id set in the TokenRequestContext sent to a credential, an AuthorizationFailedException will be thrown. This is potentially breaking change as it could be a different exception than what was thrown previously. This exception behavior can be overridden by either setting an AppContext switch named "Azure.Identity.EnableLegacyTenantSelection" to true or by setting the environment variable "AZURE_IDENTITY_ENABLE_LEGACY_TENANT_SELECTION" to "true". Note: AppContext switches can also be configured via configuration like below:
  • Added OnBehalfOfFlowCredential which enables support for Microsoft Entra On-Behalf-Of (OBO) flow. See the Microsoft Entra ID documentation to learn more about OBO flow scenarios.
<ItemGroup>
    <RuntimeHostConfigurationOption Include="Azure.Identity.EnableLegacyTenantSelection" Value="true" />
</ItemGroup>

1.5.0-beta.1 (2021-06-08)

Fixes and improvements

  • Added LoginHint property to InteractiveBrowserCredentialOptions which allows a user name to be pre-selected for interactive logins. Setting this option skips the account selection prompt and immediately attempts to login with the specified account.
  • Added AuthorizationCodeCredentialOptions which allows for configuration of a ReplyUri.

1.4.0 (2021-05-12)

New Features

  • By default, the MSAL Public Client Client Capabilities are populated with "CP1" to enable support for Continuous Access Evaluation (CAE). This indicates to Microsoft Entra ID that your application is CAE ready and can handle the CAE claim challenge. This capability can be disabled, if necessary, by either setting an AppContext switch named "Azure.Identity.DisableCP1" to true or by setting the environment variable; "AZURE_IDENTITY_DISABLE_CP1" to "true". Note: AppContext switches can also be configured via configuration like below:
<ItemGroup>
    <RuntimeHostConfigurationOption Include="Azure.Identity.DisableCP1" Value="true" />
</ItemGroup>

Fixes and improvements

  • The Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL) dependency versions have been updated to the latest
    • Microsoft.Identity.Client version 4.30.1, Microsoft.Identity.Client.Extensions.Msal version 2.18.4.
