Utilize Identity-based authentication in Netherite: How-To and Status

[davidmrdavid]

We have received several questions regarding the use of Identity-based connections with Netherite. This thread aims to provide some clarity regarding the supported scenarios, and those that are currently in the works.

Supported Scenarios

Scenario	Sample
DurableTask app with Netherite	Click here
Durable Functions app with .NET in-process	Click here

** Scenarios we're still developing **

• Durable Functions app for .NET isolated
• Durable Functions app for non-.NET languages

At this time, we believe the missing scenarios should not require too much work to complete - the Azure Functions infrastructure provides utilities that we may be able to readily re-use to connect with MI-protected resources. We're currently prototyping those implementations.

ETA for missing scenarios: We're working to get this out as soon as possible. A conservative ETA is end of July, but I'm looking to see if we can expedite the process. We will use this thread to communicate updates to the ETA as well as to provide samples or guidance for the missing scenarios.

This was just released in version 3.0.0 and works like a charm :)
