No environment configuration found. DefaultAzureCredential()

I am trying to use this python sample to authenticate a client with an Azure Service

# pip install azure-identity
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
# pip install azure-mgmt-compute
from azure.mgmt.compute import ComputeManagementClient
# pip install azure-mgmt-network
from azure.mgmt.network import NetworkManagementClient
# pip install azure-mgmt-resource
from azure.mgmt.resource import ResourceManagementClient

    SUBSCRIPTION_ID = creds_obj['SUBSCRIPTION_ID']

    # Create client
    # For other authentication approaches, please see: https://pypi.org/project/azure-identity/
    resource_client = ResourceManagementClient(
        credential=DefaultAzureCredential(),
        subscription_id=SUBSCRIPTION_ID
    )
    network_client = NetworkManagementClient(
        credential=DefaultAzureCredential(),
        subscription_id=SUBSCRIPTION_ID
    )
    compute_client = ComputeManagementClient(
        credential=DefaultAzureCredential(),
        subscription_id=SUBSCRIPTION_ID
    )

I keep getting No environment configuration found. The code sample is directly from the microsoft github: https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/blob/master/sdk/resources/azure-mgmt-resource/azure/mgmt/resource/resources/_resource_management_client.py. Ideally I would like to manage this configuration using environment variables or a config file. Is there any way to do this?

I was having somewhat similar trouble following this Azure key vault tutorial which brought me here.

The solution I found was overriding the default values in the DefaultAzureCredential() constructor.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/azure-identity/azure.identity.defaultazurecredential?view=azure-python

For reasons people far smarter than me will be able to explain I found that even though I had credentials from the azure cli it was not using those and instead looking for environment_credentials, which I did not have. So it threw an exception.

Once I set the exclude_environment_credential argument to True it then looked instead for the managed_identity_credentials, again which I did not have.

Eventually when I force excluded all credentials other than those from the cli it worked ok for me

I hope this helps someone. Those with more experience please feel free to edit as you see fit

When using Azure Identity client library for Python, DefaultAzureCredential attempts to authenticate via the following mechanisms in this order, stopping when one succeeds:

enter image description here

You could set Environment Variables to fix it.

enter image description here

from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

credential=DefaultAzureCredential()

Or set the properties in config and use ClientSecretCredential to create credential.

from azure.identity import ClientSecretCredential

subscription_id = creds_obj["AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID"]
tenant_id = creds_obj["AZURE_TENANT_ID"]
client_id = creds_obj["AZURE_CLIENT_ID"]
client_secret = creds_obj["AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET"]

credential = ClientSecretCredential(tenant_id=tenant_id, client_id=client_id, client_secret=client_secret)
