Examples

This example demonstrates authenticating the BlobClient from the Azure.Storage.Blobs client library using DefaultAzureCredential, deployed to an Azure resource with a user-assigned managed identity configured.

// When deployed to an Azure host, DefaultAzureCredential will authenticate the specified user-assigned managed identity.

string userAssignedClientId = "<your managed identity client ID>";
var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential(
 new DefaultAzureCredentialOptions
 {
 ManagedIdentityClientId = userAssignedClientId
 });

var blobClient = new BlobClient(
 new Uri("https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/myblob"),
 credential);

Remarks

Note that credentials requiring user interaction, such as the InteractiveBrowserCredential, are excluded by default. Callers must explicitly enable this when constructing DefaultAzureCredential either by setting the includeInteractiveCredentials parameter to true, or the setting the ExcludeInteractiveBrowserCredential property to false when passing DefaultAzureCredentialOptions.
