Part of #25959
Identitywill never be used for managed identity authentication, as managed identity inherently differs from user or service principal:authority. Also, because the network request is expensive, a local token cache is used.authorityis required. As IMDS has its own token cache, a local token cache is not necessary.Of course, it is possible to make
authorityoptional andIdentitywork for managed identity, but this requires more effort and blursIdentity's boundary. According to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/v2-oauth2-auth-code-flow, the public-facing name of eSTS is "Microsoft identity platform", so calling this classIdentityand limit it to user or service principal authentication is accurate and reasonable.This PR clarifies
Identityclass's boundary and deletes unused methods.
