Provide an example for NewTokenCredential

[patnaikshekhar]

It would be very useful to see an example with the NewTokenCredential call. Is this used to authenticate using managed service identity? What should the value of Initial Token Value be?

Thanks!

Thanks @patnaikshekhar for reaching out!

The TokenCredential can be used for all scenarios. Are you particularly interested in MSI?

We can certain add a sample. I've logged this work item.

Yes a MSI example would be great. That is a pretty common use case. Thanks!

I am also trying to use NewTokenCredential to access azure blob with MSI.
@patnaikshekhar where you able to achieve this?
@ zezha-msft It would great to see a example on this.

Hi @VivekDevops, thanks for reaching out! We are about to make some major improvements in this area. I'll make sure that we include an appropriate sample this time.

Hi @zezha-msft thanks for the efforts. In the meantime, can you please give some guidance here. I am trying to use NewTokenCredential to access azure blob.

I am able to generate the TokenCredential. However when I try to use the same to access the azblob, I am getting below errors.

The same token works, when I use the rest api instead of the azblob go sdk

Hi @VivekDevops, we have a test here that uses OAuth, perhaps it could help you?

Can we have an example how to use ManagedIdentity?
