1.0.0-beta.1 (2021-07-07)

New features

• This release marks the initial beta availability of the @azure/identity-cache-persistence package. This package provides an extension to @azure/identity that enables persistent token caching in a secure storage defined by the Operating System (caching of token values across sessions), which allows skipping interactive authentication flows if a previously-cached token is still available. This is implemented using the following technologies:
  • On Windows, the cache will use a DPAPI-protected file.
  • On macOS, the cache will use the macOS Keychain.
  • On Linux, the cache will use libsecret to store the tokens (this will use a provider backend, e.g. GNOME Keyring).
  • On Linux and macOS, the cache may optionally use an unencrypted file as a last resort, but only if the allowUnencryptedStorage property is set to true in the tokenCachePersistenceOptions passed to the credential constructor.
