Support for managed identity in azure.storage.fileshare

See original GitHub issue

Running the following:

from azure.storage.fileshare import ShareFileClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

file_client = ShareFileClient(
                        account_url=f"https://{storage_account}.file.core.windows.net/",
                        file_path=file_path,
                        credential=DefaultAzureCredential(),
                        share_name=share_name
                     )

Leads to the following error:

ValueError("Token credentials not supported by the File service.")

Default credentials in my case would be managed identity. It’s not explicitly mentioned in the documentation (as far as I can see), but is managed identity not supported by this library? Will it be supported, and if so, when?

Hi all, apologies for the long delay with no update but we’ve essentially been waiting for the service to add support for AAD auth to the Files service. I’m happy to report the service team is finally working on adding this support and we should soon be able to support this in the SDK. I don’t have yet have a concrete timeline but hopefully it will be coming within the next couple of releases.

Thanks for your patience. I will update here once the feature has been added.
