How to use context and login information in autorest generated code?

Hi,

I want to write PowerShell CLI for my system based on my REST Api service, and for doing this I want to use autorest.powershell tools to automate generating cmdlet for me, one important thing for me is that my system has authentication and authorization for REST API, so if I want to call REST API in cmdlet, I need to login into system before that and send JWT for each calling for API.

I see the Azure PowerShell has same requirement, and I see the Azure PowerShell has Connect-AzAccount and Get-AzContext cmdlets for login into Azure, and I want to know how can I implement same mechanism for my system?

For learning this I read some of Azure PowerShell modules, such as Cdn Module, but my problem is that I don't know how Cdn module use Context and Login information, for example I see Cdn.cs in generated/api and I see all API calls use simple and normal HttpClient and I can not find anything related to Context and Login in this file, and I don't know how Context and Login information used in this module.

So my question in this example is How Cdn Module use Context and Login information? (programmatically)

My project is remote IpTables and open source and in GitHub

To put it simply, we acquire JWT token from Microsoft Entra ID server using MSAL.net, and put it as part of header of the request to manipulate the Azure resources. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/machine-learning-server/operationalize/how-to-manage-access-tokens#use-tokens

If you are using autorest.powershell, the authentication process is handled in generated codes. But you need a swagger spec to generate the codes. Do you have a swagger?

Following is a solution I could think of.

1. Implement a module like Az.Account to handle login and after login, you may cache the token in the disk.
2. You add a handler as here, in which you get the token from the disk and put it in the request header.
