1.26.0 (2026-09-30)

Features Added

• ManagedIdentityCredential now supports user-assigned managed identities on Azure Arc-enabled servers. An identity can be selected by client ID, object ID, or resource ID. Token responses that do not confirm the requested identity are rejected. (#48967)

Bugs Fixed

• Fixed synchronous Service Fabric managed identity authentication with MSAL 1.39.0 and later. Service Fabric now uses the session from an Azure Core RequestsTransport. (#48967)
• Fixed an issue where AuthorizationCodeCredential and the asynchronous OnBehalfOfCredential could return a cached token for another account when multiple credentials shared a token cache. (#49001)

Other Changes

• Added RequestIdPolicy to the default pipeline policies to ensure a unique x-ms-client-request-id header is sent with each request. (#46070)
• CertificateCredential now passes the PEM private key to MSAL as a str rather than bytes, matching MSAL's documented client_credential contract. (#46801)
• Bumped the minimum dependency on msal to >=1.39.0.
