DefaultAzureCredentials

Overview

This tool leverages DefaultAzureCredentials to acquire an access token from Entra ID. It displays detailed internal logs and information about the access token's acquisition, providing valuable insights.

Purpose

The tool was created to help users better understand how DefaultAzureCredentials operates and to assist in troubleshooting when the process fails to acquire an access token.

Implementation.

Gaining insights into how DefaultAzureCredentials works is challenging by default. To address this, we created a custom version called MyDefaultAzureCredentials, which includes additional mechanisms to extract crucial information about its internal workings.

Warning ⚠️

This tool may expose sensitive information such as authentication tokens, client secrets, or other internal credential data in the log output.

Be cautious when using this tool in production environments or when sharing log files, as they may contain security-critical details. Logs must be properly secured and sanitized before being shared or stored in insecure locations. Ensure that logs are only accessible to trusted personnel and are not retained longer than necessary.
