[QUERY] Integrating Azure AD Token Authorization in .NET by passing authorization token

Library name and version

Azure.AI.OpenAI --version 2.0.0-beta.2

Query/Question

Hello,

I am currently using Azure AD token to authorize the client in Python and it's working fine with the Python library. Here is the relevant code snippet from the Python library:

https://github.com/openai/openai-python/blob/6316b7c0f182877e578a3dbed2fd129b63538af5/src/openai/lib/azure.py#L291

However, I am facing difficulties when trying to implement the same in .NET. Currently, my only option is to create my own HTTP client and make REST calls and passing request header

Authorization :  Bearer ****

It would be great if you could provide some guidance or point me to the relevant documentation or examples. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Environment

Windows 11 dotnet 6

@shouryashashank : The Azure SDK clients make use of the Azure.Identity library to integrate with Entra ID and other token-based sources. Each client, including the AzureOpenAIClient, have constructor overloads that accept a TokenCredential instance.

For example:

AzureOpenAIClient azureClient = new(
    new Uri("https://your-azure-openai-resource.com"),
    new DefaultAzureCredential());

More discussion and links to further examples can be found in the Azure OpenAI README
