Migrate to Microsoft Authentication Library for Java #301

Open ForNeVeR opened 4 years ago

ForNeVeR commented 4 years ago

Currently we're relying on some outdated Azure authentication libraries (vsts-authentication-library-for-java and oauth2-useragent) which aren't developed today.

At the same time, there's a Microsoft Authentication Library for Java which is developed and in a good state.

It doesn't have its own UI, and it makes us free to implement our own using available tools (such as JavaFX), so this migration will solve issues like #237.

It is also supposed to work with multifactor authentication, see #239.

The current plan is:

  1. Add a MSAL-based authentication as an alternative to the current authentication available in the plugin; make MSAL an option disabled by default
  2. Enable MSAL by default eventually
  3. Drop the old authentication mechanism for good

Is anybody working on that? Or planning to?

Any news here @ForNeVeR? This continues to be a problem for us IDEA fans trying to work with AzureDevOps.
