Get Access Token for client profile Azure in Python

I'm looking for a way to get access token from a client profile when working with Azure using Python.

from azure.common.client_factory import get_client_from_cli_profile
from azure.mgmt.compute import ComputeManagementClient
client = get_client_from_cli_profile(ComputeManagementClient)

From the code I get the client profile context but how can I get access token from it?

Solution

I could find the method to get the access token from a client profile, to get the access token, you could use the adal, use which method depends on your requirement.

For example, I get the access token of a service principal with the client credentials to access the Azure Management REST API, the given resource is https://management.azure.com/.

import adal

# Tenant ID for your Azure Subscription
TENANT_ID = 'xxxxxxx'

# Your Service Principal App ID
CLIENT = 'xxxxxxx'

# Your Service Principal Password
KEY = 'xxxxxxx'


subscription_id = 'xxxxxxx'

authority_url = 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/'+TENANT_ID
context = adal.AuthenticationContext(authority_url)
token = context.acquire_token_with_client_credentials(
    resource='https://management.azure.com/',
    client_id=CLIENT,
    client_secret=KEY
)

print(token["accessToken"])
