Support Managed Identity Connections #10

Open petero-dk opened 2 months ago

petero-dk commented 2 months ago

It is now possible to authenticate with Azure Storage via Managed Identities and completely ignore the tokens in the connection string.

However, it requires a new way of instantiating the connections, so would require some refactorings, are you interested in this?

TheByteStuff commented 2 months ago

I have not had time to look into Managed entities. I am certainly open to the idea; however, I'd want to retain the current capabilities as well. I primarily use the Azure storage but don't host my apps in Azure - I access from a command line on a local system as well as on a server from a different vendor. From what you know about it, do you think it is possible to add it in as an option or does it need to be one or the other?

It can be added as an option - see the PR #11
