@kingsleyadam can you provider test result of the fix/enhancement? I cannot get this work with MSI authorization

hi any news on this? #712 is still present on azure.azcollection 1.12.0

@testotxt This PR still needs to be improved by contributors, so the merger cannot be promoted for the time being. Thank you very much!

@Fred-sun, @xuzhang3, finally getting back to this. Sorry for the delay. Here's the testing I've done from an Azure VM with multiple Managed/User Assigned Identities.

No Fix, setting MSI

This is the code before any changes. Setting ANSIBLE_AZURE_AUTH_SOURCE=msi gets ignored, the error indicates it requires the azure cli login.

Fix with MSI but no CLIENT ID

The below includes the recommended fix. But without setting the AZURE_CLIENT_ID environment variable. This VM has multiple identities, a system assigned and a user assigned. By default azure selects the system assigned.

In this case the system assigned identity does not have any access. The error shows an attempt to use MSI, but failed due to access.

@kingsleyadam I think this order should be adjusted, because the auth_source of the configuration is fetched first, and if the fetch is auto, the environment variable is fetched, thanks!

@kingsleyadam I think this order should be adjusted, because the auth_source of the configuration is fetched first, and if the fetch is auto, the environment variable is fetched, thanks!

That's the issue I was running into. If I run self.get_option('auth_source') first, it has a default value of auto. Which won't fetch the environment variable ANSIBLE_AZURE_AUTH_SOURCE value. To avoid this my logic here is to first check the environment variable for the auth source, if it's not set then fetch it from the config.
