Examples

This is an example showing how TokenCachePersistenceOptions and an AuthenticationRecord can be used together to enable silent authentication across executions of a client application.

const string TOKEN_CACHE_NAME = "MyTokenCache";
InteractiveBrowserCredential credential;
AuthenticationRecord authRecord;

// Check if an AuthenticationRecord exists on disk.
// If it does not exist, get one and serialize it to disk.
// If it does exist, load it from disk and deserialize it.
if (!File.Exists(AUTH_RECORD_PATH))
{
    // Construct a credential with TokenCachePersistenceOptions specified to ensure that the token cache is persisted to disk.
    // We can also optionally specify a name for the cache to avoid having it cleared by other applications.
    credential = new InteractiveBrowserCredential(
        new InteractiveBrowserCredentialOptions { TokenCachePersistenceOptions = new TokenCachePersistenceOptions { Name = TOKEN_CACHE_NAME } });

    // Call AuthenticateAsync to fetch a new AuthenticationRecord.
    authRecord = await credential.AuthenticateAsync();

    // Serialize the AuthenticationRecord to disk so that it can be re-used across executions of this initialization code.
    using var authRecordStream = new FileStream(AUTH_RECORD_PATH, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
    await authRecord.SerializeAsync(authRecordStream);
}
else
{
    // Load the previously serialized AuthenticationRecord from disk and deserialize it.
    using var authRecordStream = new FileStream(AUTH_RECORD_PATH, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
    authRecord = await AuthenticationRecord.DeserializeAsync(authRecordStream);

    // Construct a new client with our TokenCachePersistenceOptions with the addition of the AuthenticationRecord property.
    // This tells the credential to use the same token cache in addition to which account to try and fetch from cache when GetToken is called.
    credential = new InteractiveBrowserCredential(
        new InteractiveBrowserCredentialOptions
        {
            TokenCachePersistenceOptions = new TokenCachePersistenceOptions { Name = TOKEN_CACHE_NAME },
            AuthenticationRecord = authRecord
        });
}

// Construct our client with the credential which is connected to the token cache
// with the capability of silent authentication for the account specified in the AuthenticationRecord.
var client = new SecretClient(new Uri("https://myvault.vault.azure.net/"), credential);

Properties

Name	Name uniquely identifying the TokenCachePersistenceOptions.
UnsafeAllowUnencryptedStorage	If set to true the token cache may be persisted as an unencrypted file if no OS level user encryption is available. When set to false the token cache will throw a CredentialUnavailableException in the event no OS level user encryption is available.
