Release History

1.13.1 (2025-11-10)

Bugs Fixed

• AzureCLICredential quoted arguments incorrectly on Windows

1.13.0 (2025-10-07)

Features Added

• Added AzurePowerShellCredential, which authenticates as the identity logged in to Azure PowerShell (thanks ArmaanMcleod)
• When AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS is set to ManagedIdentityCredential, DefaultAzureCredential behaves the same as does ManagedIdentityCredential when used directly. It doesn't apply special retry configuration or attempt to determine whether IMDS is available. (#25265)

Breaking Changes

• Removed the WorkloadIdentityCredential support for identity binding mode added in v1.13.0-beta.1. It will return in v1.14.0-beta.1

1.13.0-beta.1 (2025-09-17)

Features Added

• Added AzurePowerShellCredential, which authenticates as the identity logged in to Azure PowerShell (thanks ArmaanMcleod)
• WorkloadIdentityCredential supports identity binding mode (#25056)

1.12.0 (2025-09-16)

Features Added

• Added DefaultAzureCredentialOptions.RequireAzureTokenCredentials. NewDefaultAzureCredential returns an error when this option is true and the environment variable AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS has no value.

Other Changes

• AzureDeveloperCLICredential no longer hangs when AZD_DEBUG is set
• GetToken methods of AzureCLICredential and AzureDeveloperCLICredential return an error when TokenRequestOptions.Claims has a value because these credentials can't acquire a token in that case. The error messages describe the action required to get a token.

1.11.0 (2025-08-05)

Other Changes

• DefaultAzureCredential tries its next credential when a dev tool credential such as AzureCLICredential returns an error

1.11.0-beta.1 (2025-07-15)

Features Added

• DefaultAzureCredential allows selecting one of its credential types by name via environment variable AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS. It will use only the selected type at runtime. For example, set AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=WorkloadIdentityCredential to have DefaultAzureCredential use only WorkloadIdentityCredential.

Other Changes

• By default, ManagedIdentityCredential retries IMDS requests for a maximum of ~70 seconds as recommended in IMDS documentation. In previous versions, it would stop retrying after ~54 seconds by default.

1.10.1 (2025-06-10)

Bugs Fixed

• AzureCLICredential and AzureDeveloperCLICredential could wait indefinitely for subprocess output

1.10.0 (2025-05-14)

Features Added

• DefaultAzureCredential reads environment variable AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS to enable a subset of its credentials:
  • dev selects AzureCLICredential and AzureDeveloperCLICredential
  • prod selects EnvironmentCredential, WorkloadIdentityCredential and ManagedIdentityCredential

1.9.0 (2025-04-08)

Features Added

• GetToken() sets AccessToken.RefreshOn when the token provider specifies a value

Other Changes

• NewManagedIdentityCredential logs the configured user-assigned identity, if any
• Deprecated UsernamePasswordCredential because it can't support multifactor authentication (MFA), which Microsoft Entra ID requires for most tenants. See https://aka.ms/azsdk/identity/mfa for migration guidance.
• Updated dependencies

1.8.2 (2025-02-12)

Other Changes

• Upgraded dependencies

1.8.1 (2025-01-15)

Bugs Fixed

• User credential types inconsistently log access token scopes
• DefaultAzureCredential skips managed identity in Azure Container Instances
• Credentials having optional tenant IDs such as AzureCLICredential and InteractiveBrowserCredential require setting AdditionallyAllowedTenants when used with some clients

Other Changes

• ChainedTokenCredential and DefaultAzureCredential continue to their next credential after ManagedIdentityCredential receives an unexpected response from IMDS, indicating the response is from something else such as a proxy

1.8.0 (2024-10-08)

Other Changes

• AzurePipelinesCredential sets an additional OIDC request header so that it receives a 401 instead of a 302 after presenting an invalid system access token
• Allow logging of debugging headers for AzurePipelinesCredential and include them in error messages

1.8.0-beta.3 (2024-09-17)

Features Added

• Added ObjectID type for ManagedIdentityCredentialOptions.ID

Other Changes

• Removed redundant content from error messages

1.8.0-beta.2 (2024-08-06)

Breaking Changes

• NewManagedIdentityCredential now returns an error when a user-assigned identity is specified on a platform whose managed identity API doesn't support that. ManagedIdentityCredential.GetToken() formerly logged a warning in these cases. Returning an error instead prevents the credential authenticating an unexpected identity, causing a client to act with unexpected privileges. The affected platforms are:
  • Azure Arc
  • Azure ML (when a resource ID is specified; client IDs are supported)
  • Cloud Shell
  • Service Fabric

Other Changes

• If DefaultAzureCredential receives a non-JSON response when probing IMDS before attempting to authenticate a managed identity, it continues to the next credential in the chain instead of immediately returning an error.

1.8.0-beta.1 (2024-07-17)

Features Added

• Restored persistent token caching feature

Breaking Changes

These changes affect only code written against a beta version such as v1.7.0-beta.1

• Redesigned the persistent caching API. Encryption is now required in all cases and persistent cache construction is separate from credential construction. The PersistentUserAuthentication example in the package docs has been updated to demonstrate the new API.

1.7.0 (2024-06-20)

Features Added

• AzurePipelinesCredential authenticates an Azure Pipelines service connection with workload identity federation

Breaking Changes

These changes affect only code written against a beta version such as v1.7.0-beta.1

• Removed the persistent token caching API. It will return in v1.8.0-beta.1

1.7.0-beta.1 (2024-06-10)

Features Added

• Restored AzurePipelinesCredential and persistent token caching API

Breaking Changes

These changes affect only code written against a beta version such as v1.6.0-beta.4

• Removed AzurePipelinesCredential and the persistent token caching API. They will return in v1.7.0-beta.1

Bugs Fixed

• Managed identity bug fixes

1.6.0-beta.4 (2024-05-14)

Features Added

• AzurePipelinesCredential authenticates an Azure Pipeline service connection with workload identity federation

1.6.0-beta.3 (2024-04-09)

Breaking Changes

• DefaultAzureCredential now sends a probe request with no retries for IMDS managed identity environments to avoid excessive retry delays when the IMDS endpoint is not available. This should improve credential chain resolution for local development scenarios.

Bugs Fixed

• ManagedIdentityCredential now specifies resource IDs correctly for Azure Container Instances

1.5.2 (2024-04-09)

Bugs Fixed

• ManagedIdentityCredential now specifies resource IDs correctly for Azure Container Instances

Other Changes

• Restored v1.4.0 error behavior for empty tenant IDs
• Upgraded dependencies

1.6.0-beta.2 (2024-02-06)

Breaking Changes

These changes affect only code written against a beta version such as v1.6.0-beta.1

• Replaced ErrAuthenticationRequired with AuthenticationRequiredError, a struct type that carries the TokenRequestOptions passed to the GetToken call which returned the error.

Bugs Fixed

• Fixed more cases in which credential chains like DefaultAzureCredential should try their next credential after attempting managed identity authentication in a Docker Desktop container

Other Changes

• AzureCLICredential uses the CLI's expires_on value for token expiration

1.6.0-beta.1 (2024-01-17)

Features Added

• Restored persistent token caching API first added in v1.5.0-beta.1
• Added AzureCLICredentialOptions.Subscription

• Added spans for distributed tracing.

1.5.0-beta.1 (2023-10-10)

Features Added

• Optional persistent token caching for most credentials. Set TokenCachePersistenceOptions on a credential's options to enable and configure this. See the package documentation for this version and TOKEN_CACHING.md for more details.
• AzureDeveloperCLICredential authenticates with the Azure Developer CLI (azd). This credential is also part of the DefaultAzureCredential authentication flow.

1.4.0 (2023-10-10)

Bugs Fixed

• ManagedIdentityCredential will now retry when IMDS responds 410 or 503

1.4.0-beta.5 (2023-09-12)

Features Added

• Service principal credentials can request CAE tokens

Breaking Changes

These changes affect only code written against a beta version such as v1.4.0-beta.4

• Whether GetToken requests a CAE token is now determined by TokenRequestOptions.EnableCAE. Azure SDK clients which support CAE will set this option automatically. Credentials no longer request CAE tokens by default or observe the environment variable "AZURE_IDENTITY_DISABLE_CP1".

Bugs Fixed

• Credential chains such as DefaultAzureCredential now try their next credential, if any, when managed identity authentication fails in a Docker Desktop container (#21417)

1.4.0-beta.4 (2023-08-16)

Other Changes

Breaking Changes

These changes affect only code written against a beta version such as v1.3.0-beta.4

• Moved NewWorkloadIdentityCredential() parameters into WorkloadIdentityCredentialOptions. The constructor now reads default configuration from environment variables set by the Azure workload identity webhook by default. (#20478)
• Removed CAE support. It will return in v1.4.0-beta.1 (#20479)

Bugs Fixed

• Fixed an issue in DefaultAzureCredential that could cause the managed identity endpoint check to fail in rare circumstances.

1.3.0-beta.4 (2023-03-08)

Features Added

• Added WorkloadIdentityCredentialOptions.AdditionallyAllowedTenants and .DisableInstanceDiscovery

Bugs Fixed

• Credentials now synchronize within GetToken() so a single instance can be shared among goroutines (#20044)

Other Changes

• Upgraded dependencies

1.2.2 (2023-03-07)

Other Changes

• Upgraded dependencies

1.3.0-beta.3 (2023-02-07)

Features Added

• By default, credentials set client capability "CP1" to enable support for Continuous Access Evaluation (CAE). This indicates to Microsoft Entra ID that your application can handle CAE claims challenges. You can disable this behavior by setting the environment variable "AZURE_IDENTITY_DISABLE_CP1" to "true".
• InteractiveBrowserCredentialOptions.LoginHint enables pre-populating the login prompt with a username (#15599)
• Service principal and user credentials support ADFS authentication on Azure Stack. Specify "adfs" as the credential's tenant.
• Applications running in private or disconnected clouds can prevent credentials from requesting Microsoft Entra instance metadata by setting the DisableInstanceDiscovery field on credential options.
• Many credentials can now be configured to authenticate in multiple tenants. The options types for these credentials have an AdditionallyAllowedTenants field that specifies additional tenants in which the credential may authenticate.

1.3.0-beta.2 (2023-01-10)

Features Added

• Added OnBehalfOfCredential to support the on-behalf-of flow (#16642)

Bugs Fixed

• AzureCLICredential reports token expiration in local time (should be UTC)

Other Changes

• AzureCLICredential imposes its default timeout only when the Context passed to GetToken() has no deadline

• Updated to the latest versions of golang.org/x/crypto, azcore and internal

0.14.0 (2022-04-05)

Breaking Changes

• This module now requires Go 1.18
• Removed AuthorityHost. Credentials are now configured for sovereign or private clouds with the API in azcore/cloud, for example:

  // before
  opts := azidentity.ClientSecretCredentialOptions{AuthorityHost: azidentity.AzureGovernment}
  cred, err := azidentity.NewClientSecretCredential(tenantID, clientID, secret, &opts)
  
  // after
  import "github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/sdk/azcore/cloud"
  
  opts := azidentity.ClientSecretCredentialOptions{}

Bugs Fixed

• ManagedIdentityCredential.GetToken() now returns an error when configured for a user assigned identity in Azure Cloud Shell (which doesn't support such identities) (#16946)

Other Changes

• NewDefaultAzureCredential() logs non-fatal errors. These errors are also included in the error returned by DefaultAzureCredential.GetToken() when it's unable to acquire a token from any source. (#15923)

0.13.0 (2022-01-11)

Breaking Changes

• Replaced AuthenticationFailedError.RawResponse() with a field having the same name
• Unexported CredentialUnavailableError
• Instances of ChainedTokenCredential will now skip looping through the list of source credentials and re-use the first successful credential on subsequent calls to GetToken.
  • If ChainedTokenCredentialOptions.RetrySources is true, ChainedTokenCredential will continue to try all of the originally provided credentials each time the GetToken method is called.
  • ChainedTokenCredential.successfulCredential will contain a reference to the last successful credential.
  • DefaultAzureCredenial will also re-use the first successful credential on subsequent calls to GetToken.
  • DefaultAzureCredential.chain.successfulCredential will also contain a reference to the last successful credential.

Other Changes

• ManagedIdentityCredential no longer probes IMDS before requesting a token from it. Also, an error response from IMDS no longer disables a credential instance. Following an error, a credential instance will continue to send requests to IMDS as necessary.
• Adopted MSAL for user and service principal authentication
• Updated azcore requirement to 0.21.0

0.12.0 (2021-11-02)

Breaking Changes

• Raised minimum go version to 1.16
• Removed NewAuthenticationPolicy() from credentials. Clients should instead use azcore's runtime.NewBearerTokenPolicy() to construct a bearer token authorization policy.
• The AuthorityHost field in credential options structs is now a custom type, AuthorityHost, with underlying type string
• NewChainedTokenCredential has a new signature to accommodate a placeholder options struct:

  // before
  cred, err := NewChainedTokenCredential(credA, credB)
  
  // after
  cred, err := NewChainedTokenCredential([]azcore.TokenCredential{credA, credB}, nil)
  

• Removed ExcludeAzureCLICredential, ExcludeEnvironmentCredential, and ExcludeMSICredential from DefaultAzureCredentialOptions
• NewClientCertificateCredential requires a []*x509.Certificate and crypto.PrivateKey instead of a path to a certificate file. Added ParseCertificates to simplify getting these in common cases:

  // before
  cred, err := NewClientCertificateCredential("tenant", "client-id", "/cert.pem", nil)
  
  // after
  certData, err := os.ReadFile("/cert.pem")
  certs, key, err := ParseCertificates(certData, password)
  cred, err := NewClientCertificateCredential(tenantID, clientID, certs, key, nil)
  

• Removed InteractiveBrowserCredentialOptions.ClientSecret and .Port
• Removed AADAuthenticationFailedError
• Removed id parameter of NewManagedIdentityCredential(). User assigned identities are now specified by ManagedIdentityCredentialOptions.ID:

  // before
  cred, err := NewManagedIdentityCredential("client-id", nil)
  // or, for a resource ID
  opts := &ManagedIdentityCredentialOptions{ID: ResourceID}
  cred, err := NewManagedIdentityCredential("/subscriptions/...", opts)
  
  // after
  clientID := ClientID("7cf7db0d-...")
  opts := &ManagedIdentityCredentialOptions{ID: clientID}
  // or, for a resource ID
  resID: ResourceID("/subscriptions/...")
  opts := &ManagedIdentityCredentialOptions{ID: resID}
  cred, err := NewManagedIdentityCredential(opts)
  

• DeviceCodeCredentialOptions.UserPrompt has a new type: func(context.Context, DeviceCodeMessage) error
• Credential options structs now embed azcore.ClientOptions. In addition to changing literal initialization syntax, this change renames HTTPClient fields to Transport.
• Renamed LogCredential to EventCredential
• AzureCLICredential no longer reads the environment variable AZURE_CLI_PATH
• NewManagedIdentityCredential no longer reads environment variables AZURE_CLIENT_ID and AZURE_RESOURCE_ID. Use ManagedIdentityCredentialOptions.ID instead.
