public class ClientSecretCredential
implements TokenCredential
The ClientSecretCredential acquires a token via service principal authentication. It is a type of authentication in Azure that enables a non-interactive login to Microsoft Entra ID, allowing an application or service to authenticate itself with Azure resources. A Service Principal is essentially an identity created for an application in Microsoft Entra ID that can be used to authenticate with Azure resources. It's like a "user identity" for the application or service, and it provides a way for the application to authenticate itself with Azure resources without needing to use a user's credentials. Microsoft Entra ID allows users to register service principals which can be used as an identity for authentication. A client secret associated with the registered service principal is used as the password when authenticating the service principal. The ClientSecretCredential acquires an access token with a client secret for a service principal/registered Microsoft Entra application. The tenantId, clientId and clientSecret of the service principal are required for this credential to acquire an access token. It can be used both in Azure hosted and local development environments for authentication. For more information refer to the conceptual knowledge and configuration details.
As a pre-requisite, a service principal is required to use this authentication mechanism. If you don't have a service principal, refer to create a service principal with Azure CLI.
Sample: Construct a simple ClientSecretCredential
The following code sample demonstrates the creation of a ClientSecretCredential, using the ClientSecretCredentialBuilder to configure it. The tenantId
, clientId
and clientSecret
parameters are required to create ClientSecretCredential .Once this credential is created, it may be passed into the builder of many of the Azure SDK for Java client builders as the 'credential' parameter.
TokenCredential clientSecretCredential = new ClientSecretCredentialBuilder().tenantId(tenantId)
.clientId(clientId)
.clientSecret(clientSecret)
.build();
Sample: Construct a ClientSecretCredential behind a proxy
The following code sample demonstrates the creation of a ClientSecretCredential, using the ClientSecretCredentialBuilder to configure it. The tenantId
, clientId
and clientSecret
parameters are required to create ClientSecretCredential. The proxyOptions
can be optionally configured to target a proxy. Once this credential is created, it may be passed into the builder of many of the Azure SDK for Java client builders as the 'credential' parameter.
TokenCredential secretCredential = new ClientSecretCredentialBuilder().tenantId(tenantId)
.clientId(clientId)
.clientSecret(clientSecret)
.proxyOptions(new ProxyOptions(Type.HTTP, new InetSocketAddress("10.21.32.43", 5465)))
.build();
