AzSessions

Authentication for Azure Cloud using Active Directory (OAuth2). At present, this package supports 1) VM credentials, 2) client credentials, 3) authorization code flow and 4) device code flow.

Setup

AzSessions keeps state in the ~/.azsessions folder . In particular, it 1) uses ~/.azsession/sessions.json to store OAuth2 tokens, and 2) uses ~/.azsession/manifest.json to store information specific to your Azure account.

Use AzSessions to create the manifest.json file:

AzSessions.write_manifest(;client_id="myclientid", client_secret="myclientsecret", tenant="mytenant")

or in the case that you do not have access to the client_secret:

AzSessions.write_manifest(;client_id="myclientid", tenant="mytenant")

Once the manifest.json file exists, AzSessions will use its values as defaults. For example, when using client credentials to authenticate, AzSessions will use the client_id, client_secret and tenant in manifest.json. On the other hand, when using the authorization code flow or the device code flow, AzSessions will use the client_id and the tenant but will not use the client_secret.The later is especially useful if you are working in an environment where your adminstrator does not share the client_secret with the users.

Note that the manifest can also be used to store your preferred protocol. For example:

AzSessions.write_manifest(;client_id="myclientid", client_secret="mycientsecret", tenant="mytenant", protocol=AzClientCredentials)
