# Azure Identity SDK for Rust Authentication library for Azure SDK clients using Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD). ## Installation ```sh cargo add azure_identity ``` ## Environment Variables ```bash # Service Principal (for production/CI) AZURE_TENANT_ID=<your-tenant-id> AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<your-client-id> AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=<your-client-secret> # User-assigned Managed Identity (optional) AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<managed-identity-client-id> ``` ## DeveloperToolsCredential The recommended credential for local development. Tries developer tools in order (Azure CLI, Azure Developer CLI): ```rust use azure_identity::DeveloperToolsCredential; use azure_security_keyvault_secrets::SecretClient; let credential = DeveloperToolsCredential::new(None)?; let client = SecretClient::new( "https://my-vault.vault.azure.net/", credential.clone(), None, )?; ``` ### Credential Chain Order | Order | Credential | Environment | |-------|-----------|-------------| | 1 | AzureCliCredential | `az login` | | 2 | AzureDeveloperCliCredential | `azd auth login` | ## Credential Types | Credential | Usage | |------------|-------| | `DeveloperToolsCredential` | Local development - tries CLI tools | | `ManagedIdentityC

What does the azure-identity-rust skill do?
Azure Identity SDK for Rust authentication. Use for DeveloperToolsCredential, ManagedIdentityCredential, ClientSecretCredential, and token-based authentication.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill azure-identity-rust --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
