[Feature Request] Support PFX certificate authentication #684

Closed jiasli closed 1 month ago

jiasli commented 2 months ago

MSAL client type

Confidential

Problem Statement

MSAL currently requires PEM certificate for ConfidentialClientApplication:

https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-python/blob/52b1fc5a442ff5dd33f48ce717f1032c8002ea9e/msal/application.py#L226-L228

The conversion logic is deferred to downstream application, such as Azure Identity library.

Proposed solution

MSAL itself can support PFX certificate authentication so that other clients such as Azure CLI can also benefit from it.

See https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli/issues/28699
