Description

4. How to implement MSAL for Managed Identity

   • Supported MSAL patterns/APIs for MI
   • User-assigned identity selection guidance (client ID / resource ID)
   • Implementation “dos/don’ts” relevant to support (resource/audience, retries, expectations)

5. How to implement MSAL for Workload Identity Federation (FIC)

   • Conceptual flow: external OIDC assertion → Entra token
   • Required Entra configuration (federated credential parameters)
   • Common customer confusion points (FIC vs secrets vs certs)

6. Microsoft.Identity.Web usage patterns (only where it impacts MI/WIF/FIC support)

   • Where identity-web fits vs raw MSAL for these scenarios
   • Configuration surfaces that matter for MI/WIF troubleshooting
   • Quick guidance: when to recommend identity-web vs MSAL

Not sure what this is, but we should have only feature requests and bugs in here.
