az_cli_login: Azure CLI Device Code Login

In azr: Credential Chain for Seamless 'OAuth 2.0' Authentication to 'Azure Services'

Azure CLI Device Code Login

Description

Performs an interactive Azure CLI login using device code flow. Automatically captures the device code, copies it to the clipboard, and opens the browser for authentication.

Usage

az_cli_login(tenant_id = NULL, use_bridge = FALSE, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

tenant_id	A character string specifying the Azure Active Directory tenant ID to authenticate against. If NULL (default), uses the default tenant from Azure CLI configuration.
use_bridge	A logical value indicating whether to use the device code bridge webpage. If TRUE, launches an intermediate local webpage that displays the device code and facilitates copy-pasting before redirecting to the Microsoft device login page. If FALSE (default), copies the code directly to the clipboard and opens the Microsoft login page.
verbose	A logical value indicating whether to print detailed process output to the console, including error messages from the Azure CLI process. If FALSE (default), only essential messages are displayed.

Details

This function runs ⁠az login --use-device-code⁠, monitors the output to extract the device code, copies it to the clipboard, and opens the authentication URL in the default browser.

Value

Invisibly returns the exit status (0 for success, non-zero for failure)
