Bump Azure.Identity from 1.3.0 to 1.18.0

[dependabot]

Updated Azure.Identity from 1.3.0 to 1.18.0.

Release notes

Sourced from Azure.Identity's releases.

1.18.0

1.18.0 (2026-02-25)

Features Added

• Added experimental Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration and Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection integration for Azure SDK clients. For details, see the Configuration and Dependency Injection documentation.

• The WorkloadIdentityCredentialOptions.IsAzureProxyEnabled property, which enables Azure Kubernetes token proxy mode, is only available in beta releases of this package.

• AzureDeveloperCliCredential now parses JSON error output from azd auth token to extract clean error messages instead of including raw JSON in exceptions. Error messages like {"type":"consoleMessage","data":{"message":"ERROR: fetching token: ..."}} are now displayed as ERROR: fetching token: ....

1.18.0-beta.3

1.18.0-beta.3 (2026-02-20)

Breaking Changes

• Renamed WorkloadIdentityCredentialOptions.IsAzureKubernetesTokenProxyEnabled to IsAzureProxyEnabled to follow .NET naming conventions for boolean properties.

Bugs Fixed

• Fixed a NullReferenceException that occurred during X509Chain validation on Linux when using the Identity Bindings feature.

• Disabled MSAL's internal retry logic for ConfidentialClientApplication and PublicClientApplication to prevent double retries when combined with Azure SDK's retry policy. Only the configured Azure SDK retry policy is applied, avoiding unexpected additional retry attempts.

1.15.0

1.15.0 (2026-02-02)

Features Added

• Upgraded api-version to 2025-05-01.

1.14.0

1.14.0 (2026-01-16)

Features Added

• Added new resource type GalleryScript.
• Added StorageAccountStrategy property to GalleryArtifactPublishingProfileBase class.

1.10.0

1.10.0 (2026-01-19)

Features Added

• Support identity-based connection.

1.9.0

1.9.0 (2026-01-27)

Features Added

• Added core support for Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration and Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.
• Added JsonModel<T> abstract base class that provides a simplified way to implement IJsonModel<T> for JSON serialization and deserialization.

Bugs Fixed

• Fixed an issue with ClientRetryPolicy where delays were being calculated using the retry count instead of the attempt count, causing the initial retry to occur without delay and subsequent retries to be performed more quickly than intended.

1.8.0

1.8.0 (2026-01-27)

Features Added

• Added new methods, CheckConfigurationSettings and CheckConfigurationSettingsAsync, which can be used to check settings from the Azure App Configuration store using HEAD requests, returning only headers without the response body. #​54669

Other Changes

• Added internal pipeline policy to handle audience error and surface up an improved error message. #​53834

1.6.0

1.6.0 (2026-01-16)

Features Added

• Upgraded api-verion to 2025-09-01.
• Make Azure.ResourceManager.Avs AOT-compatible.

1.6.0-beta.2

1.6.0-beta.2 (2026-01-12)

Breaking Changes

• Default Sampler Changed (#​54942): The default sampling behavior has been changed from
  ApplicationInsightsSampler with 100% sampling (all traces sampled) to
  RateLimitedSampler with 5.0 traces per second. This change significantly
  reduces telemetry volume for high-traffic applications and provides better
  cost optimization out of the box.
  Impact: Applications with more than 5 requests per second will see fewer
  traces exported by default.
  Migration: To maintain the previous behavior (100% sampling), explicitly
  configure the sampler:

  // Option 1: Set SamplingRatio and clear TracesPerSecond
  builder.Services.AddOpenTelemetry()
      .UseAzureMonitorExporter(options =>
      {
          options.SamplingRatio = 1.0f;
          options.TracesPerSecond = null;
      });
  // Option 2: Use environment variables
  // OTEL_TRACES_SAMPLER=microsoft.fixed_percentage
  // OTEL_TRACES_SAMPLER_ARG=1.0

Bugs Fixed

• Fixed performance counter metrics not using configured resource attributes
  (cloud_RoleName and cloud_RoleInstance), which previously showed
  "unknown_service:appName" instead of the configured values.
  (#​54944)

1.5.1

1.5.1 (2026-01-29)

Features Added

• Support for MicrosoftTeamsAppIdentifier CommunicationIdentifier

1.5.0-beta.1

1.5.0-beta.1 (2026-01-23)

Features Added

• Added BicepMetadata class that provides a clean, type-safe way to set Bicep metadata on resources:
  • Description - Adds @​description('...') decorator
  • BatchSize - Adds @​batchSize(n) decorator for loop deployments
  • OnlyIfNotExists - Adds @​onlyIfNotExists() decorator
• Added BicepMetadata property on ProvisionableResource

Bugs Fixed

• Fixed PropertyName in Self reference for IBicepValue instances of collection items to include its index (for list) or its key (for dictionary) to avoid colliding with its enclosing collection's property name. (#​54802)

1.4.1

1.4.1 (2026-02-12)

Other Changes

• Removed show-serialized-names debug configuration to clean up unnecessary serialized name annotations from XML docs.

1.4.1-beta.3

1.4.1-beta.3 (2026-02-17)

Features Added

• Added ConfidentialLedgerRedirectPolicy to automatically follow HTTP 307/308 redirects while preserving the Authorization header. Previously, the SDK did not follow redirects by default, and even when redirects were enabled, the Authorization header was stripped on cross-domain redirects between ACL nodes, causing write operations to fail when routed to non-primary nodes.

1.4.0

1.4.0 (2026-01-30)

Features Added

• Upgraded api-version tag from 'package-2020-01-01;package-flexibleserver-2024-08-01' to 'package-flexibleserver-2025-08-01'. Tag detail available at https://github.com/Azure/azure-rest-api-specs/blob/96086ecacd33f5e91557e03cf5838d5f45be9f3b/specification/postgresql/resource-manager/readme.md.

Other Changes

• Upgraded Azure.Core from 1.47.1 to 1.50.0

1.4.0-beta.2

1.4.0-beta.2 (2026-03-02)

Features Added

• StaticSiteBasicAuthProperty.Name now defaults to "default" and is read-only, matching the only accepted Bicep value.
• SiteNetworkConfig.Name now defaults to "virtualNetwork" and is read-only, matching the only accepted Bicep value.

Breaking Changes

• StaticSiteBasicAuthProperty.Name is now read-only (setter removed). The property only accepts "default".
• SiteNetworkConfig.Name is now read-only (setter removed). The property only accepts "virtualNetwork".
• Removed generated enum StaticSiteBasicAuthName. A backward-compatible version is preserved but hidden from IntelliSense.

Bugs Fixed

• Fixed SiteNetworkConfig.Name not having a default value (#​54629).

1.4.0-beta.1

1.4.0-beta.1 (2026-02-27)

Features Added

• Regenerated from the latest Azure.ResourceManager.AppService package.
