Deprecates the ability to send arbitrary query parameters to a token request according to KR 3310905, similar to what was done in other MSALs:
AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-dotnet#5536
AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-java#1001
This behavior was intended for niche scenarios which the library did not explicitly cover, and not really meant for production. It can affect the contents and validity of tokens but were not used in our caching scheme which led to bad caching behavior: if the extra query parameters changed between requests we could return tokens that were not valid for the latest set of parameters.
MSAL Python did not have an explicit
WithExtraQueryParametersAPI like other MSALs, however the internalBaseClient._obtain_tokenandClient._obtain_tokenfunctions had aparamsargument which set the query parameters just like other MSALs. A customer could define these params by setting them in thekwargsargument of some public APIs.This PR removes the explicit
paramsargument from those functions. For backwards compatibility we still check thekwargsargument forparams, and if it is used a deprecation warning inBaseClient._obtain_tokenwill inform the customer.
