# Release History

## 1.18.3 (2026-04-30)

### Other Changes

#### Dependency Updates

- Upgraded `azure-core` from `1.57.1` to version `1.58.0`.
- Upgraded `azure-core-http-netty` from `1.16.3` to version `1.16.4`.

## 1.18.2 (2026-01-20)

### Other Changes

- Removed unused jetty, redisson, and lettuce-core dependencies.

#### Dependency Updates

- Upgraded `azure-core` from `1.57.0` to version `1.57.1`.
- Upgraded `azure-core-http-netty` from `1.16.2` to version `1.16.3`.
- Upgraded `azure-json` from `1.5.0` to version `1.5.1`.

## 1.18.1 (2025-10-13)

### Features Added

- Fixed `DefaultAzureCredential` behavior when `AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS` environment variable is explicitly set to `ManagedIdentityCredential`. The credential now skips unnecessary probe requests and enables retry logic with exponential backoff for improved resiliency in environments where the managed identity endpoint may be temporarily unavailable.

### Other Changes

#### Dependency Updates

- Upgraded `azure-core` from `1.56.1` to version `1.57.0`.
- Upgraded `azure-core-http-netty` from `1.16.1` to version `1.16.2`.

## 1.18.0 (2025-09-16)

### Features Added

- Added claims challenge support to `AzureDeveloperCliCredential`. Claims provided in `TokenRequestContext` are now passed to Azure Developer CLI via the `--claims` parameter, requiring azd CLI 1.18.1 or higher. Also enhanced error handling to extract user-friendly messages from JSON output and provide clear version compatibility warnings when the `--claims` flag is unsupported.
- Added claims challenge handling support to `AzureCliCredential`. When a token request includes claims, the credential will now throw a `CredentialUnavailableException` with instructions to use Azure PowerShell directly with the appropriate `-ClaimsChallenge` parameter.
- Added claims challenge handling support to `AzurePowerShellCredential`. When a token request includes claims, the credential will now throw a `CredentialUnavailableException` with instructions to use Azure PowerShell directly with the appropriate `-ClaimsChallenge` parameter.
- Added `AzureIdentityEnvVars` expandable string enum for type-safe environment variable names used in Azure Identity credentials.
- Added `requireEnvVars(AzureIdentityEnvVars... envVars)` method to `DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder` to enforce the presence of specific environment variables at build time. When configured, the credential will throw an `IllegalStateException` during `build()` if any of the specified environment variables are missing or empty.

### Bugs Fixed
- Fixed `AzurePowerShellCredential` handling of XML header responses and `/Date(epochTime)/` time format parsing that previously caused `JsonParsingException`. [#46572](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java/pull/46572)
- Fixed `AzureDeveloperCliCredential` hanging when `AZD_DEBUG` environment variable is set by adding `--no-prompt` flag to the `azd auth token` command.

- `DefaultAzureCredential` can be configured to use a specific credential type by setting the `AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS` environment variable. When set, it will only attempt authentication using the specified credential type. For example, setting `AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=WorkloadIdentityCredential` will restrict authentication to workload identity only.
- Enhanced `AzurePowerShellCredential` token retrieval with tenantId support, cross-version SecureString handling, and improved compatibility and robustness. [#45851](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java/pull/45851)
- `DefaultAzureCredential` now supports authentication with the currently signed-in Windows account, provided the azure-identity-broker package is installed.

## 1.0.0-preview.2 (2019-08-05)

Credentials are now created through builders instead of setters. For example, in preview 1, a `ClientSecretCredential` can be created by

ClientSecretCredential cred = new ClientSecretCredential()
        .tenantId(tenant)
        .clientId(clientId)
        .clientSecret(secret);
```

In preview 2, it needs to be created through its builder:
```java
ClientSecretCredential clientSecretCredential = new ClientSecretCredentialBuilder()
        .tenantId(tenant)
        .clientId(clientId)
        .clientSecret(secret);
        .build();
```

**New features**

3 new credentials are added in preview 2, including `DeviceCodeCredential`, `InteractiveBrowserCredential` and `UsernamePasswordCredential`.

`DeviceCodeCredential` is useful for IoT devices. `InteractiveBrowserCredential` and `UsernamePasswordCredential` are mainly used in developer scenarios, to login on a developer's computer.

**Deprecated or removed features**

No feature was deprecated or removed.

## 1.0.0-preview.1 (2019-06-28)
Version 1.0.0-preview.1 is a preview of our efforts in creating an authentication API for Azure SDK client libraries that is developer-friendly, idiomatic
to the Java ecosystem, and as consistent across different languages and platforms as possible. The principles that guide
our efforts can be found in the [Azure SDK Design Guidelines for Java](https://aka.ms/azsdk/guide/java).

For details on the Azure SDK for Java (July 2019 Preview) release, you can refer to the [release announcement](https://aka.ms/azure-sdk-preview1-java).

This release supports service principal and managed identity authentication.
See the [documentation](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java/blob/main/sdk/identity/azure-identity/README.md)
for more details. User authentication will be added in an upcoming preview
release.

This release supports only global Microsoft Entra tenants, i.e. those
using the https://login.microsoftonline.com authentication endpoint.
