Authentication — Rust SDK Quick Reference

Condensed from azure-identity-rust. Full patterns (ClientSecret, ClientCertificate, WorkloadIdentity, AzurePipelines credentials) in the azure-identity-rust plugin skill if installed.

Install

cargo add azure_identity

Quick Start

use azure_identity::DeveloperToolsCredential;
let credential = DeveloperToolsCredential::new(None)?;

Best Practices

  • Use DeveloperToolsCredential for local dev — automatically picks up Azure CLI
  • Use ManagedIdentityCredential in production — no secrets to manage
  • Clone credentials — credentials are Arc-wrapped and cheap to clone
  • Reuse credential instances — same credential can be used with multiple clients
  • Use tokio feature — cargo add azure_identity --features tokio

Frequently asked

Does this skill cover Azure RBAC or role assignments?
No. This skill focuses on app registration and OAuth authentication. For Azure RBAC and role assignments, use the azure-rbac skill.
What authentication libraries does this skill support?
The skill covers MSAL (Microsoft Authentication Library) for .NET/C#, JavaScript/TypeScript, and Python, plus Azure Identity SDKs for multiple languages.
Can I use certificates instead of client secrets?
Yes. The skill recommends certificates over secrets for production environments and covers federated identity credentials as an alternative to both.
Does this skill include code examples?
Yes. The skill provides console app examples, OAuth flow implementations, and references for multiple programming languages including C#, Python, JavaScript, and Java.
Can I manage app registrations with Infrastructure as Code?
Yes. The skill includes a Bicep example for managing Entra app registrations through IaC, recommended for scalable or audit-heavy scenarios.
