Updated Azure.Identity from 1.17.1 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.
