DAC: Disable probe and enable retries when ManagedIdentityCredential is selected via env var #35971
Description
When the environment variable AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS (or its custom equivalent) is explicitly set to ManagedIdentityCredential, DefaultAzureCredential should:
- Skip the probe request typically used to detect available credentials.
- Enable retry logic with exponential backoff for token acquisition attempts.
This behavior aligns with the assumption that the developer has intentionally selected ManagedIdentityCredential, and probing other sources is unnecessary. It also improves resiliency in environments where the managed identity endpoint may be temporarily unavailable.
Expected Behavior:
- No probe request is issued.
- Retry logic is applied with exponential backoff.
Actual Behavior:
- Probe request is still issued.
- Retry logic may not be applied consistently.
Suggested Fix:
Update DefaultAzureCredential to detect when ManagedIdentityCredential is explicitly selected via environment variable and adjust behavior accordingly. See the .NET PR at Azure/azure-sdk-for-net#52545.
