Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. According to this doc, the Python version of the Bot Framework SDK supports multi-tenant and single-tenant bots. Since Teams-ai depends on Bot Framework SDK, Python bots here do not support managed identity either.

Describe the solution you'd like Please let Python bots support managed identity.

This is not possible until the MSAL package for Python supports it.

Got it! Thank you.

Why has this been closed? I think it is a valid and important feature that bots (and all other cloud ressource types) support managed identities. This issue is still relevant even if it cannot be resolved at the moment.

Without a managed identity the way I understand it, one has to use an App Registration with secrets that expire at least after 2 years. This is more than impractical.

I believe this is a related PR in the MSAL: https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-python/pull/480

Bot Framework SDK didn't close it. But closed or open doesn't change our intent to add this when available.
