# ClientSecretCredential ----
#' Client secret credential authentication
#'
#' @description
#' Authenticates a service principal using a client ID and client secret.
#' This credential is commonly used for application authentication in Azure.
#'
#' @details
#' The credential uses the OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow to obtain access
#' tokens. It requires a registered Azure AD application with a client secret.
#' The client secret should be stored securely and not hard-coded in scripts.

#' # valid 'client_id' and 'client_secret' credentials,
#' # otherwise it will return an error.
