Remarks

The following options are available:

• AccessKey: Set this to authenticate with the storage key associated with your Azure account.
• AwsCredentialsFile: Set to use a credential file for authentication.
• AwsTempCredentials: Set this to leverage temporary security credentials alongside a session token to connect.
• AzureAD: Set this to perform Azure Active Directory OAuth authentication.
• AzureMSI: Set this to automatically obtain Managed Service Identity credentials when running on an Azure VM.
• AzureServicePrincipal: Set this to authenticate as an Azure Service Principal.
• AzureServicePrincipalCert: Set this to authenticate as an Azure Service Principal using a Certificate.
• AzureStorageSAS: Set this to authenticate with Shared Access Signature (SAS).
• Basic: Basic user/password authentication.
• Digest: Uses HTTP Digest authentication with User and Password.
• GCPInstanceAccount: When running on a GCP virtual machine, the provider can authenticate using a service account tied to the virtual machine.
• IAMSecretKey: Uses AccessKey and SecretKey to authenticate to the Oracle Cloud Storage.
• Negotiate: Kerberos authentication.
• None: No authentication is used.
• OAuth: Uses OAuth with a standard user account. The specific flow is determined by the InitiateOAuth, and OAuthVersion must be set to determine what version of OAuth is used.
• OAuthClient: Uses OAuth2 with the client credentials grant type. OAuthClientId and OAuthClientSecret are the credentials. OAuthVersion must be set to 2.0.
• OAuthJWT: Uses OAuth2 with the JWT bearer grant type. OAuthJWTCertType and OAuthJWTCert determine what certificate the JWT is signed with. OAuthVersion must be set to 2.0.
• OAuthPassword: Uses OAuth2 with the password grant type. User and Password are the credentials. OAuthVersion must be set to 2.0.
• OAuthPKCE: Uses OAuth2 with the authorization code grant type and PKCE extension. OAuthClientId is the credential. OAuthVersion must be set to 2.0.
• SFTP: The precise authentication method is controlled using the SSHAuthMode property. See this property's documentation for further information.
