What is @azure/identity?

The @azure/identity package provides Azure Active Directory token authentication support across the Azure SDK. It enables developers to authenticate with Azure services using various credentials and manage tokens.

What are @azure/identity's main functionalities?

DefaultAzureCredential

DefaultAzureCredential is a comprehensive credential chain that tries multiple methods of authentication, suitable for most Azure SDK clients.

const { DefaultAzureCredential } = require('@azure/identity');
const credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();

ClientSecretCredential

ClientSecretCredential authenticates with Azure AD using a client ID and secret. It's typically used for server-to-server authentication.

const { ClientSecretCredential } = require('@azure/identity');
const credential = new ClientSecretCredential(tenantId, clientId, clientSecret);

ManagedIdentityCredential

ManagedIdentityCredential allows an Azure service to authenticate to other Azure services using the managed identity of an Azure resource.

const { ManagedIdentityCredential } = require('@azure/identity');
const credential = new ManagedIdentityCredential();

EnvironmentCredential

EnvironmentCredential reads authentication details from environment variables and can be used for automated deployments or local development.

const { EnvironmentCredential } = require('@azure/identity');
const credential = new EnvironmentCredential();

InteractiveBrowserCredential

InteractiveBrowserCredential is used for applications that require interactive authentication by opening a default system browser.

const { InteractiveBrowserCredential } = require('@azure/identity');
const credential = new InteractiveBrowserCredential({ clientId: 'your-client-id' });
