+# Troubleshooting Azure Identity Authentication Issues
+
+The Azure Identity SDK offers various `TokenCredential` implementations. These implementations typically throw `CredentialUnavailableError` and `ClientAuthenticationError` exceptions.
+The `CredentialUnavailableError` indicates that the credential cannot execute in the current environment setup due to lack of required configuration.
+The `ClientAuthenticationError` indicates that the credential was able to run/execute but ran into an authentication issue from the server's end. This can happen due to invalid configuration/details passed in to the credential at construction time.
+This troubleshooting guide covers mitigation steps to resolve these exceptions thrown by various `TokenCredential` implementations in the Azure Identity Python client library.

+## Troubleshooting Default Azure Credential Authentication Issues
+
+### Credential Unavailable Error
+
+The `DefaultAzureCredential` attempts to retrieve an access token by sequentially invoking a chain of credentials. The `ClientAuthenticationError` in this scenario signifies that all the credentials in the chain failed to retrieve the token in the current environment setup/configuration. You need to follow the configuration instructions for the respective credential you're looking to use via `DefaultAzureCredential` chain, so that the credential can work in your environment.
+
+Please follow the configuration instructions in the `Credential Unavailable Error` section of the troubleshooting guidelines below for the respective credential/authentication type you want to use via `DefaultAzureCredential`:

+
+## Troubleshooting Environment Credential Authentication Issues
+
+### Credential Unavailable Error
+
+#### Environment variables not configured
+
+The `EnvironmentCredential` supports Service Principal authentication and Username + Password authentication. To utilize the desired way of authentication via `EnvironmentCredential`, you need to ensure the environment variables below are configured properly and the application is able to read them.
+
+##### Service principal with secret
+
+| Variable Name | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+AZURE_CLIENT_ID | ID of an Azure Active Directory application. |
+AZURE_TENANT_ID |ID of the application's Azure Active Directory tenant. |
+AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET | One of the application's client secrets. |
+
+##### Service principal with certificate
+
+| Variable name | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+AZURE_CLIENT_ID |ID of an Azure Active Directory application. |
+AZURE_TENANT_ID | ID of the application's Azure Active Directory tenant. |
+AZURE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_PATH | Path to a PEM-encoded or PKCS12 certificate file including private key (without password protection). |
+
+##### Username and password
+
+| Variable name | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+AZURE_CLIENT_ID | ID of an Azure Active Directory application. |
+AZURE_USERNAME | A username (usually an email address). |
+AZURE_PASSWORD | The associated password for the given username. |
+
+### Client Authentication Error
+
+The `EnvironmentCredential` supports Service Principal authentication and Username + Password authentication.
+Please follow the troubleshooting guidelines below for the respective authentication which you tried and failed.
+
+| Authentication Type | Troubleshoot Guide |
+| --- | --- |
+| Service Principal | [Service Principal Auth Troubleshooting Guide](#troubleshooting-username-password-authentication-issues) |
+| Username Password | [Username Password Auth Troubleshooting Guide](#troubleshooting-username-password-authentication-issues) |
+
+## Troubleshooting Username Password Authentication Issues
+
+### Two Factor Authentication Required Error
+
+The `UsernamePassword` credential works only for users whose two factor authentication has been disabled in Azure Active Directory. You can change the Multi Factor Authentication in Azure Portal by following the steps [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/authentication/howto-mfa-userstates#change-the-status-for-a-user).
+
+## Troubleshooting Service Principal Authentication Issues
+
+### Illegal/Invalid Argument Issues
+
+#### Client Id
+
+The Client Id is the application Id of the registered application / service principal in Azure Active Directory.
+It is a required parameter for `ClientSecretCredential` and `ClientCertificateCredential`. If you have already created your service principal
+then you can retrieve the client/app id by following the instructions [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/develop/howto-create-service-principal-portal#get-tenant-and-app-id-values-for-signing-in).
+
+#### Tenant Id
+
+The tenant id is te Global Unique Identifier (GUID) that identifies your organization. It is a required parameter for
+`ClientSecretCredential` and `ClientCertificateCredential`. If you have already created your service principal
+then you can retrieve the client/app id by following the instructions [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/develop/howto-create-service-principal-portal#get-tenant-and-app-id-values-for-signing-in).
+
+### Client Secret Credential Issues
+
+#### Client Secret Argument
+
+The client secret is the secret string that the application uses to prove its identity when requesting a token; this can also can be referred to as an application password.
+If you have already created a service principal you can follow the instructions [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/develop/howto-create-service-principal-portal#option-2-create-a-new-application-secret) to create a client secret for your application.
+
+### Client Certificate Credential Issues
+
+#### Client Certificate Argument
+
+The `Client Certificate Credential` accepts `pfx` and `pem` certificates. The certificate needs to be associated with your registered application/service principal. To create and associate a certificate with your registered app, please follow the instructions [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/develop/howto-create-service-principal-portal#option-1-upload-a-certificate).
+
+### Create a new service principal
+
+Please follow the instructions [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/cli/azure/create-an-azure-service-principal-azure-cli) to create a new service principal.
+
+## Troubleshooting Managed Identity Authentication Issues
+
+### Credential Unavailable Error
+
+#### Connection Timed Out / Connection could not be established / Target Environment could not be determined
+
+Currently azure-identity supports [managed identity authentication](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/overview)
+in the below listed Azure services; ensure you're running your application on one of these resources and have enabled the Managed Identity on
+them by following the instructions at their configuration links below.
+

+
+## Troubleshooting Visual Studio Code Authentication Issues
+
+### Credential Unavailable Error
+
+#### Failed To Read VS Code Credentials / Authenticate via Azure Tools plugin in VS Code
+
+THe `VS Code Credential` failed to read the credential details from the cache.
+
+The Visual Studio Code authentication is handled by an integration with the Azure Account extension.
+To use this form of authentication, ensure that you have installed the Azure Account extension,
+then use View > Command Palette to execute the Azure: Sign In command. This command opens a browser window and displays a page that allows you 
+to sign in to Azure. After you've completed the login process, you can close the browser as directed. Running your application
+(either in the debugger or anywhere on the development machine) will use the credential from your sign-in.
+
+If you already had the Azure Account extension installed and had logged in to your account. Then try logging out and logging in again, as
+that will re-populate the cache on the disk and potentially mitigate the error you're getting.
+
+#### Msal Interaction Required Error
+
+THe `VS Code Credential` was able to read the cached credentials from the cache but the cached token is likely expired.
+Log into the Azure Account extension by via View > Command Palette to execute the Azure: Sign In command in the VS Code IDE.
+
+#### ADFS Tenant Not Supported
+
+The ADFS Tenants are not supported via the Azure Account extension in VS Code currently.
+The supported clouds are:
+
+Azure Cloud | Cloud Authority Host
+--- | --- |
+AZURE PUBLIC CLOUD | https://login.microsoftonline.com/
+AZURE GERMANY | https://login.microsoftonline.de/
+AZURE CHINA | https://login.chinacloudapi.cn/
+AZURE GOVERNMENT | https://login.microsoftonline.us/
+
+## Troubleshooting Azure CLI Authentication Issues
+
+### Credential Unavailable Error
+
+#### Azure CLI Not Installed
+
+To use Azure CLI credential, the Azure CLI needs to be installed, please follow the instructions [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/cli/azure/install-azure-cli)
+to install it for your platform and then try running the credential again.
+
+#### Azure account not logged in
+
+`AzureCliCredential` authenticates as the identity currently logged in to Azure CLI.
+You need to login to your account in Azure CLI via `az login` command. You can further read instructions to [Sign in with Azure CLI](https://docs.microsoft.com/cli/azure/authenticate-azure-cli).
+Once logged in try running the credential again.
+
+### Illegal State
+
+#### Safe Working Directory Not Located
+
+The `Azure CLI Credential` was not able to locate a value for System Environment property `SystemRoot` to execute in.
+Please ensure the `SystemRoot` environment variable is configured to a safe working directory and then try running the credential again.
+
+## Troubleshooting Azure Powershell Authentication Issues
+
+### Credential Unavailable Error
+
+#### Powershell not installed
+
+Please ensure PowerShell is installed on your platform by following the instructions [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell?view=powershell-7.1).
+
+#### Azure Az Module Not Installed
+
+Please follow the instructions [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/powershell/azure/install-az-ps)
+to install the Azure Az PowerShell module.
+
+#### Azure account not logged in
+
+Log in via the `Connect-AzAccount` command. See [Sign in with Azure Powershell](https://docs.microsoft.com/powershell/azure/authenticate-azureps) for more information.
+
+#### Deserialization error
+
+The `Azure Powershell Credential` was able to retrieve a response from the Azure Powershell when attempting to get an access token but failed
+to parse that response.
+In your local powershell window, run the following command to ensure that Azure Powershell is returning an access token in correct format.
+
+```pwsh
+Get-AzAccessToken -ResourceUrl "<Scopes-Url>"
+```
+
+In the event above command is not working properly, follow the instructions to resolve the Azure Powershell issue being faced and then try running the credential again.
