I've been struggling with the current authentication methods and they always require a little bit of configuration effort while authentication with other
azure-identity
-based packages usually works quite easily.So I've added 3 new ways to authenticate to your Azure databases:
All methods are properly documented on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/overview/azure/identity-readme?view=azure-python but I've updated the README as well.
I added tests for everything except managed identity since that is impossible to test without an actual managed identity configured.
I removed the storage of client ID & secret in the service principal authentication as environment variables to avoid side effects from using
DefaultAzureCredential
and to avoid leaking credentials outside of this context.
