Description
This PR fixes a logic bug that made authenticating to Vault via the
azure
login method never actually work unless a JWT was pre-supplied because of a logic error. Additionally, more logic errors due to copy/paste typos were fixed and the azure authentication method was changed fromManagedIdentityCredential
toDefaultAzureCredential
(which includesManagedIdentityCredential
, but is more flexible as it also includes more authentication options which cover more use-cases), implications of this can be found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/developer/go/sdk/authentication/credential-chains#defaultazurecredential-overviewRelates OR Closes #0000
