- [x] I believe this is a legitimate feature request, not just a question. If this is a question, please use the Discussions area.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
AzureAISearchVectorStore assumes that you're either able to provide an api_key or that the DefaultAzureCredential will work as a fallback.
When operating in a system where DefaultAzureCredential won't work as needed (such as via Azure Synapse), api_key isn't always an option due to security concerns.
Under the covers, AzureAISearchVectorStore uses these to create a Credential to use. I'm proposing an option to provide a credential directly when leveraging AzureAISearchVectorStore as a new input.
Describe the solution you'd like
A new kwargs entry is added for credential such that it can optionally be provided. It would be added in a non-breaking manner such that the order of preference for a Credential to use internally does not break active users:
- the
api_key - the provided
credentialinput (new) - Fall back to the
DefaultAzureCredential
