Hi ,

     I am trying to remove the key vault and secrete from my web app and integrating managed identity but while running it locally i'm getting an error below -   

CredentialUnavailableException: ManagedIdentityCredential authentication unavailable. Multiple attempts failed to obtain a token from the managed identity endpoint.

I believe while running locally it takes default credentials and when deploy it takes MI credentials .

Thank you for your time and looking forward for solutions.

    The error message indicates that the Managed Identity authentication is not working. you need to ensure that the Managed Identity is enabled for your application and that the necessary permissions are granted to the Managed Identity.
    please follow Clean up resources which you don't want to continue using the resources.
    Also please follow Remove an identity System-assigned identities are also automatically removed from Microsoft Entra ID when you delete the app resource itself.
