Hi,
Time to time we have the following error on our VM attached with managed identity while running terraform commands:
Error: unable to get MSAL authorization token for resource manager API: failed to get an oauth token from MSI for user assigned identity from MSI endpoint "
What is the root cause of the issue?
Thanks for your support and help

Thank you for reaching out Microsoft Q&A. I understand that you're facing issue with managed identity while running terraform commands.
Could you please provide the terraform command which you're using to generate the token?
Can you please confirm whether user-assigned managed identity (UAMI) is attached to the Azure resource?
Can you please confirm while using MSAL, a client ID is being passed to identify which user-assigned identity is supposed to acquire the token?
Thanks,
Aditya
