Description

With version 1.2 of Terraform and version 3.7 of the azurerm provider now released and both supporting OIDC for authentication, it would be great to port this functionality and leverage this in the azuread provider, too. For example, I can now provision the relevant infrastructure on the azurerm side via OIDC authentication. But if during this deployment I want to reference an Azure AD group via the azuread provider, I cannot adopt the same authentication approach.

New or Affected Resource(s)

The authentication components within the azurerm provider.

Potential Terraform Configuration

provider "azurerm" {
  use_oidc = true
}
