Login with Managed Identity not possible

[jjindrich]

I need to login into Cosmos with Managed Identity MSI (of VM where VS Code is running).
Usecase: connection to Cosmos from jump station running in Azure for troubleshooting. Access into Cosmos has MSI only.

Dear Jaroslaw,
Could you please let us know which API is in use here? Is it Core/NoSQL, Mongo (RU), or MongoClusters/vCore?

SQL(noSQL)

@sevoku could this possibly be related to our RBAC support?

@jjindrich This is currently not supported, since the extension is using VS Codes integrated Entra ID API and it requires VS Code to be signed in using Entra ID manually. You can also attach an account to the "Workspace" section, however it currently supports only connection strings with an account key or password combination besides Entra ID.
That said, it should be easy to add support for managed identities since the JS SDK supports that already: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/managed-identities-azure-resources/tutorial-vm-managed-identities-cosmos?tabs=azure-portal#javascript, let's add it to the backlog.
