Configure Azure Identity for .NET
Azure authentication choices vary across local development and hosted workloads. This skill provides focused Azure Identity patterns for secure .NET client configuration.
Install with my Agent
Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.
Review the Skillstore skill "azure-identity-dotnet" from https://skillstore.io/skills/sickn33-azure-identity-dotnet.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/sickn33-azure-identity-dotnet/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it
Using "azure-identity-dotnet". Choose authentication for a .NET API running in Azure App Service and on developer laptops.
Expected outcome:
- Development: use DefaultAzureCredential so approved developer tools can authenticate.
- Production: use the App Service managed identity through ManagedIdentityCredential.
- Reuse one credential instance and grant only required Azure roles.
Using "azure-identity-dotnet". Review a service principal setup that stores a client secret in source control.
Expected outcome:
The review rejects source-controlled secrets, recommends managed identity, and lists required role, deployment, rotation, and validation steps.
Using "azure-identity-dotnet". Explain why DefaultAzureCredential works locally but fails in an Azure workload.
Expected outcome:
- Confirm which local developer credential succeeds.
- Verify that the Azure resource has an enabled managed identity.
- Check identity selection, role assignments, endpoint configuration, and authentication logs.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Local .NET Development
Choose developer credentials and configure DefaultAzureCredential for an application that uses Azure SDK clients.
Azure-Hosted Workloads
Select managed identity patterns for App Service, Functions, virtual machines, or Azure Kubernetes Service.
Enterprise Authentication Review
Compare service principal, certificate, sovereign cloud, and deterministic production credential options.
Try These Prompts
Show how to add Azure.Identity to a .NET project and authenticate one BlobServiceClient with DefaultAzureCredential. Use placeholder endpoints.
Design a .NET approach that uses DefaultAzureCredential locally and managed identity in Azure. Explain the required configuration.
Create an ASP.NET Core design for Blob Storage and Key Vault using Microsoft.Extensions.Azure. Reuse one credential and explain failure handling.
Assess this .NET Azure authentication design: [describe environment]. Recommend deterministic credentials, sovereign cloud settings, retries, logging, and secret handling.
Best Practices
- Use managed identity or another deterministic credential in production.
- Reuse credential instances across Azure SDK clients to improve token caching and connection behavior.
- Keep secrets outside source control and limit diagnostic logging to approved environments.
Avoid
- Do not embed client secrets, certificate passwords, or production credentials in prompts or source files.
- Do not enable interactive browser authentication for unattended production services.
- Do not rely on a broad credential chain in production when one credential type is known.
