Unable to get access_token due to aiohttp not honoring env proxy vars

[priyaananthasankar]

• azure-identity 1.6.0
• Python 3.8
• Windows/OSX

The aio version of ClientSecretCredential when used to obtain an access_token fails with the following error:
Cannot connect to host <REQUESTED URL>:443 ssl:default [The parameter is incorrect] because the environment variable no_proxy is not honored by aiohttp (which is internally used by the async identity python sdk)
Here is the aiohttp issue: aio-libs/aiohttp#4431

To Reproduce (run this in an asyncio event loop)

from azure.identity.aio import ClientSecretCredential

credential = await ClientSecretCredential(self.tenant_id,self.client_id,self.client_secret)
token_obj = credential.get_token("https://management.core.windows.net/.default")
credential.close()

Expected behavior
Get back a token

Impacts

Since Identity cannot be used in an async fashion, this has cascading effects on other SDK's like BlobServiceClient that would need a storage credential and further will lead to customer being able to use only the sync version of these SDK's and it would lead to throughput issues downstream.

aiohttp will release a fix in their 3.8 release (current is 3.7.x) and once that is released, this needs to be re-tested. Keeping this here for tracking

Most secure enterprise setups will have no_proxy environment variable set and this should be fixed to fully avail the async aspects of the SDK.

seems like this is fixed: aio-libs/aiohttp#4445
