[Azure Load Testing] - Auth with managed identity

I am trying to configure an azure load test to obtain the AAD bearer token using managed identity. Until now, I used secret-based authentication and I was generating manually the JWT token and passing it though the test parameters. Now, I am trying to use managed identity and generate the token "inside" the load test.

Is there any way to do that?

Thanks in advance!

    Hi @Elena Colominschi

    Thank you for your patience while I worked on your query and apologize for the delay in our response.

    We can get the token to use managed identity for load test, but there is no way to get inside the azure load test. App Service and Azure Functions provide an internally accessible REST endpoint for token retrieval.

    For your reference: Load test authenticated endpoints | Microsoft Learn

    Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.

    Thanks,

    Navya.
