Show the trust settings of credential {name} for {sp_id}, looked up by name.
PATCH /servicePrincipals/{servicePrincipal-id}/federatedIdentityCredentials(name='{name}') Update a federated credential by name · Update the navigation property federatedIdentityCredentials in servicePrincipals #
Ask an LLM
“Can I update a federated identity credential by addressing it with its name?”
“Is it possible to change the issuer of a named federated credential?”
Tell an agent
Update the federated credential named {name} on service principal {sp_id} to issuer {issuer}.
Set the description of named credential {name} on {sp_id} to {description}.
DELETE /servicePrincipals/{servicePrincipal-id}/federatedIdentityCredentials(name='{name}') Delete a federated credential by name · Delete navigation property federatedIdentityCredentials for servicePrincipals #
Ask an LLM
“Can I delete a federated identity credential by its name rather than its ID?”
“How do I remove the named federated trust for an old pipeline from a service principal?”
Tell an agent destructive · confirm first
Delete the federated credential named {name} from service principal {sp_id}.
Remove federated trust {name} on {sp_id}, addressing it by name.
GET /servicePrincipals/{servicePrincipal-id}/federatedIdentityCredentials/$count Count a service principal's federated credentials · Get the number of the resource #
Ask an LLM
“How many federated identity credentials does a service principal have?”
“Is there a limit I'm approaching on federated credentials for this managed identity?”
Tell an agent
Count the federated identity credentials on service principal {sp_id}.

            description: The audience that can appear in the external token. This field is mandatory and should be set to api://AzureADTokenExchange for Microsoft Entra ID. It says what Microsoft identity platform should accept in the aud claim in the incoming token. This value represents Microsoft Entra ID in your external identity provider and has no fixed value across identity providers - you might need to create a new application registration in your identity provider to serve as the audience of this token. This field can only accept a single value and has a limit of 600 characters. Required.
          description:
            type:
            - string
            - 'null'
            description: The unvalidated description of the federated identity credential, provided by the user. It has a limit of 600 characters. Optional.
          issuer:
            type: string
            description: The URL of the external identity provider, which must match the issuer claim of the external token being exchanged. The combination of the values of issuer and subject must be unique within the app. It has a limit of 600 characters. Required.
          name:
            type: string
            description: The unique identifier for the federated identity credential, which has a limit of 120 characters and must be URL friendly. The string is immutable after it's created. Alternate key. Required. Not nullable. Supports $filter (eq).
          subject:
            type:
            - string
            - 'null'
            description: Required. The identifier of the external software workload within the external identity provider. Like the audience value, it has no fixed format; each identity provider uses their own - sometimes a GUID, sometimes a colon delimited identifier, sometimes arbitrary strings. The value here must match the sub claim within the token presented to Microsoft Entra ID. The combination of issuer and subject must be unique within the app. It has a limit of 600 characters. Supports $filter (eq).
