SecretClient.get_secret not working in a docker container

Zhu, Han 0

self.credential = ManagedIdentityCredential(client_id=self.config["managed_identity_client_id"])
self.client = SecretClient(vault_url=self.kv_uri, credential=self.credential)
self.api_key = self.client.get_secret(self.config["secret_key"]).value


azure.identity._exceptions.CredentialUnavailableError: ManagedIdentityCredential authentication unavailable. The requested identity has not been assigned to this resource. Error: Unexpected response "{'error': 'invalid_request', 'error_description': 'Identity not found'}"

this could not fetch an api_key after I packaged it into a docker image and run in a container.

Hi @Zhu, Han,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum!

The error indicates that the Managed Identity is not available to your Docker container. Ensure that your Docker container is running in an Azure service that supports Managed Identities (e.g., Azure VM, App Services, AKS). Set the AZURE_CLIENT_ID environment variable in your Docker container to match the Managed Identity client ID. Here is a Microsoft guide on using managed identities.

I hope you understand! Thank you.
