Motivation and Context
The usage of
DefaultAzureCredential
by default is unsafe and raises security issues. Instead, users should provide their own credential types such asAzureCliCredential
,ManagedIdentityCredential
and so on. More information here:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/azure-identity/azure.identity.aio?view=azure-python
In this PR:
DefaultAzureCredential
from authentication logic.DefaultAzureCredential

DefaultAzureCredential
. Users will need to update the code and pass the credential type of their choice by usingcredential
parameter when initializing one of the Azure clients.Before:
