[QUERY] Interactive Browser Change with Version 1.10 of Azure.Identity

[scottbright22]

Library name and version

Azure.identity 1.10

Query/Question

Version 1.9 was able to use interactive browser credentials and cache the authorization record.
Version 1.10 asks to re-enter the password every time.

    '--------------------------------------------------------
    'Application Code:
    '--------------------------------------------------------
    '// Load the previously serialized AuthenticationRecord from disk And deserialize it.
    Using authRecordStream = New IO.FileStream(AuthFile_Name_and_Path, IO.FileMode.Open, IO.FileAccess.Read)
        'authRecord = await Azure.Identity.AuthenticationRecord.DeserializeAsync(authRecordStream)
        _auth = Azure.Identity.AuthenticationRecord.Deserialize(authRecordStream)
    End Using

    '// Construct a New client with our TokenCachePersistenceOptions with the addition of the AuthenticationRecord property.
    '// This tells the credential to use the same token cache in addition to which account to try And fetch from cache when GetToken Is called.
    Dim _tcpo As New Azure.Identity.TokenCachePersistenceOptions
    _tcpo.Name = TOKEN_CACHE_NAME
    Dim _ibcredopts As New Azure.Identity.InteractiveBrowserCredentialOptions
    _ibcredopts.TokenCachePersistenceOptions = _tcpo
    _ibcredopts.AuthenticationRecord = _auth

    'Dim _bcos As New Identity.BrowserCustomizationOptions
    '_bcos.UseEmbeddedWebView = True 'False use Chrome, True used built in
    '_ibcredopts.BrowserCustomization = _bcos

    _ibc = New Azure.Identity.InteractiveBrowserCredential(_ibcredopts)
    Dim _TokenReqContext = New Core.TokenRequestContext(New String() {"https://batch.core.windows.net" & "/.default"})

    '*******************************************************************************************************
    'PROBLEM
    '*******************************************************************************************************
    Dim _AccessToken As Core.AccessToken = _ibc.GetToken(_TokenReqContext, Nothing) '==Version 10 causes browser window to open every time now
    '*******************************************************************************************************

Environment

.Net Framework 4.8

I see that the cache file name now gets a .cae or .nocae on the end with version 10. Do we have to program for that?

Thank you for your feedback. Tagging and routing to the team member best able to assist.

This is a bug - we should have a fix available soon. Sorry for the inconvenience!

[scottbright22]

No problem! It's nice to know we might know what we are doing.

As a side note - the silent auth should work after the first GetToken request. The bug is that we don't properly recognize that the cache is already populated on a new instance of the credential.
