azure-identity_1.6.0

1.6.0 (2023-11-10)

Features Added

• Added WorkloadIdentityCredential.
• When one of the credentials within DefaultAzureCredential is successful, it gets re-used during all subsequent attempts to get the token.
• Updated ClientSecretCredentialOptions and ClientCertificateCredentialOptions to read the default value for the authority host option from the environment variable first.

Breaking Changes

• Add WorkloadIdentityCredential to the DefaultAzureCredential.

Bugs Fixed

• Do not throw an exception during AzureCliCredential construction, but rather delay it to the GetToken() call.
• Harden checks for the tenant ID.
• Disallow space character when validating tenant id and scopes as input for AzureCliCredential.
• Add authority host url validation to reject non-HTTPS schemes.
• [#4084] Remove OpenSSL dependency on Windows. (A community contribution, courtesy of teo-tsirpanis)

Other Changes

• Add default values to some WorkloadIdentityCredentialOptions fields such as authority host by reading them from the environment.
• Add logging to WorkloadIdentityCredential to help with debugging.
• Create separate lists of characters that are allowed within tenant ids and scopes in AzureCliCredential.
