credential_chain: Create Custom Credential Chain

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

Create Custom Credential Chain

Description

Creates a custom chain of credential providers to attempt during authentication. Credentials are tried in the order they are provided until one successfully authenticates. This allows you to customize the authentication flow beyond the default credential chain.

Usage

credential_chain(...)

Arguments

...

Named chain entries. Each entry must be either a credential class (e.g., ClientSecretCredential) or an already-constructed object that inherits from the Credential base class. Class entries receive the context passed to get_credential_provider(). Constructed instances are used as-is. The names are used for identification purposes. Constructing a chain performs no authentication.

Value

A credential_chain object containing the specified sequence of credential providers.

# Create a custom chain with only non-interactive credentials
custom_chain <- credential_chain(
  client_secret = ClientSecretCredential,
  azure_cli = AzureCLICredential
)

# Use the custom chain to get a token
## Not run: 
token <- get_token(
  scope = "https://graph.microsoft.com/.default",
  chain = custom_chain
)

## End(Not run)
