on GitHub

1.18.0 (2025-09-16)

Features Added

• Added claims challenge support to AzureDeveloperCliCredential. Claims provided in TokenRequestContext are now passed to Azure Developer CLI via the --claims parameter, requiring azd CLI 1.18.1 or higher. Also enhanced error handling to extract user-friendly messages from JSON output and provide clear version compatibility warnings when the --claims flag is unsupported.
• Added claims challenge handling support to AzureCliCredential. When a token request includes claims, the credential will now throw a CredentialUnavailableException with instructions to use Azure PowerShell directly with the appropriate -ClaimsChallenge parameter.
• Added claims challenge handling support to AzurePowerShellCredential. When a token request includes claims, the credential will now throw a CredentialUnavailableException with instructions to use Azure PowerShell directly with the appropriate -ClaimsChallenge parameter.
• Added AzureIdentityEnvVars expandable string enum for type-safe environment variable names used in Azure Identity credentials.
• Added requireEnvVars(AzureIdentityEnvVars... envVars) method to DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder to enforce the presence of specific environment variables at build time. When configured, the credential will throw an IllegalStateException during build() if any of the specified environment variables are missing or empty.

Bugs Fixed

• Fixed AzurePowerShellCredential handling of XML header responses and /Date(epochTime)/ time format parsing that previously caused JsonParsingException. #46572
• Fixed AzureDeveloperCliCredential hanging when AZD_DEBUG environment variable is set by adding --no-prompt flag to the azd auth token command.
