[Help Required] Moving to Managed Identity for Azure Resource Authentication

[animeshj9]

Hello. I am trying to move to use managed identity instead of apikey based authentication for azure services the chat copilot interacts with. I have been able to move Cosmos & Azure OpenAI successfully, but am having trouble figuring out how to move the AzureAISearch config from API Key based auth to Managed Identity / Token Credential based.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

This is something we are interested in too.

The following could be useful:

If this proves too hard, you could use Azure Key Vault instead as AKV does support managed identities.

Also, if you have made changes to support Cosmos and AOAI with managed identities, please feel free to create a PR to incorporate those changes in the repo!!!
