Hello. I think this sample will get you close:

Note how TokenCredential is set here, and I use the DefaultAzureCredential (the identity of the running process or host), but you could set it to something very specific.

Sorry, but it is an awful experience. Environment variable? Magic settings names? Can we drop all of this and have a straight forward setup, where I tell this SDK which client to use or which authentication method to use?
