DefaultAzureCredential.GetToken Method

Definition

Sequentially calls GetToken(TokenRequestContext, CancellationToken) on all the included credentials, returning the first successfully obtained AccessToken. Acquired tokens are cached by the credential instance. Token lifetime and refreshing is handled automatically. Where possible, reuse credential instances to optimize cache effectiveness.

public override Azure.Core.AccessToken GetToken (Azure.Core.TokenRequestContext requestContext, System.Threading.CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
override this.GetToken : Azure.Core.TokenRequestContext * System.Threading.CancellationToken -> Azure.Core.AccessToken
Public Overrides Function GetToken (requestContext As TokenRequestContext, Optional cancellationToken As CancellationToken = Nothing) As AccessToken

Parameters

requestContext
TokenRequestContext

The details of the authentication request.

cancellationToken
CancellationToken

A CancellationToken controlling the request lifetime.

Returns

The first AccessToken returned by the specified sources. Any credential which raises a CredentialUnavailableException will be skipped.

Exceptions

Thrown when the authentication failed.

Remarks

Credentials requiring user interaction, such as InteractiveBrowserCredential, are excluded by default.
