-
-        By setting the environment variable ``MSAL_MANAGED_IDENTITY_ENDPOINT``
-        you override the default identity URL used in MSAL's Azure VM managed identity
-        code path.
-
-        This is useful during local development where it may be desirable to
-        utilise the credentials assigned to an actual VM instance via SSH tunnelling.
-
-        For example, if you create your SSH tunnel this way (assuming your VM is on ``192.0.2.1``)::
-
-            ssh -L 8000:169.254.169.254:80 192.0.2.1
-
-        Then your code could run locally using::
