Description: # Azure Identity client library for Python
        Azure Identity simplifies authentication across the Azure SDK.
        It supports token authentication using an Azure Active Directory
        
        This library is in preview and currently supports:
          - [Service principal authentication](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/app-objects-and-service-principals)
          - [Managed identity authentication](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/overview)
          - User authentication
        
          [Source code](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/tree/master/sdk/identity/azure-identity/azure/identity)
          | [Package (PyPI)](https://pypi.org/project/azure-identity/)
          | [API reference documentation][ref_docs]
          | [Azure Active Directory documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/)
        
        # Getting started
        ## Prerequisites
        - an [Azure subscription](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/)
        - Python 2.7 or 3.5.3+
        
        ## Install the package
        Install Azure Identity with pip:
        ```sh
        pip install azure-identity
        ```
        
        #### Creating a Service Principal with the Azure CLI
        This library doesn't require a service principal, but Azure applications
        commonly use them for authentication. If you need to create one, you can use
        this [Azure CLI](https://docs.microsoft.com/cli/azure) snippet. Before using
        it, replace "http://my-application" with a more appropriate name for your
        service principal.
        
        Create a service principal:
        ```sh
        az ad sp create-for-rbac --name http://my-application --skip-assignment
        ```
        
        Example output:
        ```json
        {
            "appId": "generated-app-id",
            "displayName": "app-name",
            "name": "http://my-application",
            "password": "random-password",
            "tenant": "tenant-id"
        }
        ```
        Azure Identity can authenticate as this service principal using its tenant id
        ("tenant" above), client id ("appId" above), and client secret ("password" above).
        
        
        # Key concepts
        ## Credentials
        A credential is a class which contains or can obtain the data needed for a
        service client to authenticate requests. Service clients across the Azure SDK
        accept credentials as constructor parameters, as described in their
        documentation. The [next steps](#client-library-support) section below contains
        a partial list of client libraries accepting Azure Identity credentials.
        
        Credential classes are found in the `azure.identity` namespace. They differ
        in the types of identities they can authenticate as, and in their configuration:
        
        |credential class|identity|configuration
        |-|-|-
        |[DefaultAzureCredential](#defaultazurecredential)|service principal, managed identity, user|none for managed identity, [environment variables](#environment-variables) for service principal or user authentication
        |[ManagedIdentityCredential][managed_id_cred_ref]|managed identity|none
        |[EnvironmentCredential][environment_cred_ref]|service principal, user|[environment variables](#environment-variables)
        |[ClientSecretCredential][client_secret_cred_ref]|service principal|constructor parameters
        |[CertificateCredential][cert_cred_ref]|service principal|constructor parameters
        |[DeviceCodeCredential][device_code_cred_ref]|user|constructor parameters
        |[InteractiveBrowserCredential][interactive_cred_ref]|user|constructor parameters
        |[UsernamePasswordCredential][userpass_cred_ref]|user|constructor parameters
        
        Credentials can be chained together and tried in turn until one succeeds; see
        [chaining credentials](#chaining-credentials) for details.
        
        Service principal and managed identity credentials have async equivalents in
        the [azure.identity.aio][ref_docs_aio] namespace, supported on Python 3.5.3+.
        See the [async credentials](#async-credentials) example for details. Async user
        credentials will be part of a future release.
        
        ## DefaultAzureCredential
        [DefaultAzureCredential][default_cred_ref] is appropriate for most
        applications intended to run in Azure. It can authenticate as a service
        principal, managed identity, or user, and can be configured for local
        development and production environments without code changes.
        
        To authenticate as a service principal, provide configuration in
        [environment variables](#environment-variables) as described in the next section.
        
        Authenticating as a managed identity requires no configuration but is only
        possible in a supported hosting environment. See Azure Active Directory's
        [managed identity documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/services-support-managed-identities)
        for more information.
        
        #### Single sign-on
        During local development on Windows, [DefaultAzureCredential][default_cred_ref]
        can authenticate using a single sign-on shared with Microsoft applications, for
        example Visual Studio 2019. This may require additional configuration when
        multiple identities have signed in. In that case, set the environment variable
        `AZURE_USERNAME` with the desired identity's username (typically an email
        address).
        
        ## Environment variables
        [DefaultAzureCredential][default_cred_ref] and
        [EnvironmentCredential][environment_cred_ref] can be configured with
        environment variables. Each type of authentication requires values for specific
        variables:
        
        #### Service principal with secret
        >|variable name|value
        >|-|-
        >|`AZURE_CLIENT_ID`|id of an Azure Active Directory application
        >|`AZURE_TENANT_ID`|id of the application's Azure Active Directory tenant
        >|`AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET`|one of the application's client secrets
        
        #### Service principal with certificate
        >|variable name|value
        >|-|-
        >|`AZURE_CLIENT_ID`|id of an Azure Active Directory application
        >|`AZURE_TENANT_ID`|id of the application's Azure Active Directory tenant
        >|`AZURE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_PATH`|path to a PEM-encoded certificate file including private key (without password protection)
        
        #### Username and password
        >|variable name|value
        >|-|-
        >|`AZURE_CLIENT_ID`|id of an Azure Active Directory application
        >|`AZURE_USERNAME`|a username (usually an email address)
        >|`AZURE_PASSWORD`|that user's password
        
        > Note: username/password authentication is not supported by the async API
        ([azure.identity.aio][ref_docs_aio])
        
        Configuration is attempted in the above order. For example, if values for a
        client secret and certificate are both present, the client secret will be used.
        
        # Examples
        ## Authenticating with `DefaultAzureCredential`
        This example demonstrates authenticating the `BlobServiceClient` from the
        [azure-storage-blob][azure_storage_blob] library using
        [DefaultAzureCredential][default_cred_ref].
        
        ```py
        from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
        from azure.storage.blob import BlobServiceClient
        
        # This credential first checks environment variables for configuration as described above.
        # If environment configuration is incomplete, it will try managed identity.
        credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
        
        client = BlobServiceClient(account_url, credential=credential)
        ```
        
        ## Authenticating a service principal with a client secret:
        This example demonstrates authenticating the `KeyClient` from the
        [azure-keyvault-keys][azure_keyvault_keys] library using
        [ClientSecretCredential][client_secret_cred_ref].
        
        ```py
        from azure.identity import ClientSecretCredential
        from azure.keyvault.keys import KeyClient
        
        credential = ClientSecretCredential(tenant_id, client_id, client_secret)
        
        client = KeyClient("https://my-vault.vault.azure.net", credential)
        ```
        
        ## Authenticating a service principal with a certificate:
        This example demonstrates authenticating the `SecretClient` from the
        [azure-keyvault-secrets][azure_keyvault_secrets] library using
        [CertificateCredential][cert_cred_ref].
        
        ```py
        from azure.identity import CertificateCredential
        from azure.keyvault.secrets import SecretClient
        
        # requires a PEM-encoded certificate with private key, not protected with a password
        cert_path = "/app/certs/certificate.pem"
        credential = CertificateCredential(tenant_id, client_id, cert_path)
        
        client = SecretClient("https://my-vault.vault.azure.net", credential)
        ```
        
        ## Chaining credentials:
        [ChainedTokenCredential][chain_cred_ref] links multiple credential instances
        to be tried sequentially when authenticating. The following example demonstrates
        creating a credential which will attempt to authenticate using managed identity,
        and fall back to a service principal if a managed identity is unavailable. This
        example uses the `EventHubClient` from the [azure-eventhubs][azure_eventhubs]
        client library.
        
        ```py
        from azure.eventhub import EventHubClient
        from azure.identity import ChainedTokenCredential, ClientSecretCredential, ManagedIdentityCredential
        
        managed_identity = ManagedIdentityCredential()
        service_principal = ClientSecretCredential(tenant_id, client_id, client_secret)
        
        # when an access token is needed, the chain will try each
        # credential in order, stopping when one provides a token
        credential_chain = ChainedTokenCredential(managed_identity, service_principal)
        
        # the ChainedTokenCredential can be used anywhere a credential is required
        client = EventHubClient(host, event_hub_path, credential_chain)
        ```
        
        ## Async credentials:
        This library includes an async API supported on Python 3.5+. To use the async
        credentials in [azure.identity.aio][ref_docs_aio], you must first install an
        async transport, such as [aiohttp](https://pypi.org/project/aiohttp/). See
        [azure-core documentation](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/blob/master/sdk/core/azure-core/README.md#transport)
        for more information.
        
        This example demonstrates authenticating the asynchronous `SecretClient` from
        [azure-keyvault-secrets][azure_keyvault_secrets] with an asynchronous
        credential.
        
        ```py
        # most credentials have async equivalents supported on Python 3.5.3+
        from azure.identity.aio import DefaultAzureCredential
        from azure.keyvault.secrets.aio import SecretClient
        
        # async credentials have the same API and configuration as their synchronous
        # counterparts, and are used with (async) Azure SDK clients in the same way
        default_credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
        client = SecretClient("https://my-vault.vault.azure.net", default_credential)
        ```
        
        # Troubleshooting
        ## General
        Credentials raise `azure.core.exceptions.ClientAuthenticationError` when they fail
        to authenticate. `ClientAuthenticationError` has a `message` attribute which
        describes why authentication failed. When raised by
        [DefaultAzureCredential](#defaultazurecredential) or `ChainedTokenCredential`,
        the message collects error messages from each credential in the chain.
        
        For more details on handling Azure Active Directory errors please refer to the
        Azure Active Directory
        [error code documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/reference-aadsts-error-codes).

        # Release History
        
        ## 1.0.0 (2019-10-29)
        ### Breaking changes:
        - Async credentials now default to [`aiohttp`](https://pypi.org/project/aiohttp/)
        for transport but the library does not require it as a dependency because the
        async API is optional. To use async credentials, please install
        [`aiohttp`](https://pypi.org/project/aiohttp/) or see
        [azure-core documentation](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/blob/master/sdk/core/azure-core/README.md#transport)
        for information about customizing the transport.
        - Renamed `ClientSecretCredential` parameter "`secret`" to "`client_secret`"
        - All credentials with `tenant_id` and `client_id` positional parameters now accept them in that order
        - Changes to `InteractiveBrowserCredential` parameters
          - positional parameter `client_id` is now an optional keyword argument. If no value is provided,
        the Azure CLI's client ID will be used.
          - Optional keyword argument `tenant` renamed `tenant_id`
        - Changes to `DeviceCodeCredential`
          - optional positional parameter `prompt_callback` is now a keyword argument
          - `prompt_callback`'s third argument is now a `datetime` representing the
          expiration time of the device code
          - optional keyword argument `tenant` renamed `tenant_id`
        - Changes to `ManagedIdentityCredential`
          - now accepts no positional arguments, and only one keyword argument:
          `client_id`
          - transport configuration is now done through keyword arguments as
          described in
          [`azure-core` documentation](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/blob/master/sdk/core/azure-core/docs/configuration.md)
        
        ### Fixes and improvements:
        - Authenticating with a single sign-on shared with other Microsoft applications
        only requires a username when multiple users have signed in
        ([#8095](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/pull/8095))
        - `DefaultAzureCredential` accepts an `authority` keyword argument, enabling
        its use in national clouds
        ([#8154](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/pull/8154))
        
        ### Dependency changes
        - Adopted [`msal_extensions`](https://pypi.org/project/msal-extensions/) 0.1.2
        - Constrained [`msal`](https://pypi.org/project/msal/) requirement to >=0.4.1,
        <1.0.0
        
        
        ## 1.0.0b4 (2019-10-07)
        ### New features:
        - `AuthorizationCodeCredential` authenticates with a previously obtained
        authorization code. See Azure Active Directory's
        [authorization code documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/v2-oauth2-auth-code-flow)
        for more information about this authentication flow.
        - Multi-cloud support: client credentials accept the authority of an Azure Active
        Directory authentication endpoint as an `authority` keyword argument. Known
        authorities are defined in `azure.identity.KnownAuthorities`. The default
        authority is for Azure Public Cloud, `login.microsoftonline.com`
        (`KnownAuthorities.AZURE_PUBLIC_CLOUD`). An application running in Azure
        Government would use `KnownAuthorities.AZURE_GOVERNMENT` instead:
        >```
        >from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential, KnownAuthorities
        >credential = DefaultAzureCredential(authority=KnownAuthorities.AZURE_GOVERNMENT)
        >```
        
        ### Breaking changes:
        - Removed `client_secret` parameter from `InteractiveBrowserCredential`
        
        ### Fixes and improvements:
        - `UsernamePasswordCredential` correctly handles environment configuration with
        no tenant information ([#7260](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/pull/7260))
        - user realm discovery requests are sent through credential pipelines
        ([#7260](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/pull/7260))
        
        
        ## 1.0.0b3 (2019-09-10)
        ### New features:
        - `SharedTokenCacheCredential` authenticates with tokens stored in a local
        cache shared by Microsoft applications. This enables Azure SDK clients to
        authenticate silently after you've signed in to Visual Studio 2019, for
        example. `DefaultAzureCredential` includes `SharedTokenCacheCredential` when
        the shared cache is available, and environment variable `AZURE_USERNAME`
        is set. See the
        [README](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/blob/master/sdk/identity/azure-identity/README.md#single-sign-on)
        for more information.
        
        ### Dependency changes:
        - New dependency: [`msal-extensions`](https://pypi.org/project/msal-extensions/)
        0.1.1
        
        ## 1.0.0b2 (2019-08-05)
        ### Breaking changes:
        - Removed `azure.core.Configuration` from the public API in preparation for a
        revamped configuration API. Static `create_config` methods have been renamed
        `_create_config`, and will be removed in a future release.
        
        ### Dependency changes:
        - Adopted [azure-core](https://pypi.org/project/azure-core/) 1.0.0b2
          - If you later want to revert to a version requiring azure-core 1.0.0b1,
          of this or another Azure SDK library, you must explicitly install azure-core
          1.0.0b1 as well. For example:

        ### New features:
        - Added credentials for authenticating users:
        [`DeviceCodeCredential`](https://azure.github.io/azure-sdk-for-python/ref/azure.identity.html#azure.identity.DeviceCodeCredential),
        [`InteractiveBrowserCredential`](https://azure.github.io/azure-sdk-for-python/ref/azure.identity.html#azure.identity.InteractiveBrowserCredential),
        [`UsernamePasswordCredential`](https://azure.github.io/azure-sdk-for-python/ref/azure.identity.html#azure.identity.UsernamePasswordCredential)
