@smithago When you provide -u $username this is the Service Principal right? See: az login reference

[jiasli]

AADSTS50126: Error validating credentials due to invalid username or password. is returned by AAD service indicating the credential is not correct.

• If you are using a user credential, make sure the tenant/username/password combination is correct.
• If you are using a service principal, make sure --service-principal is provided.
