Library name

Azure.Identity

Please describe the feature.

Currently it's possible to use MSAL to get an On-Behalf-Of token with a signed assertion from, for example, a managed identity like this:

AuthenticationResult authenticationResult = 
     await ConfidentialClientApplicationBuilder
          .Create(myAppId)
          .WithTenantId(myTenantId)
          .WithClientAssertion(new ManagedIdentityClientAssertion(myManagedIdentityClientId).GetSignedAssertion)
          .Build()
          .AcquireTokenOnBehalfOf(
               [myScope],
               new UserAssertion(myUserAccessToken))
          .WithSendX5C(true)
          .ExecuteAsync(cancellationToken)
          .ConfigureAwait(false);

My organization is moving away from secrets/certificates and toward federated credentials with managed identities, and it's forced me back to MSAL when I would much rather use Azure.Identity and the OnBehalfOfCredential. Something like:

AccessToken accessToken = 
    await new OnBehalfOfCredential(
        myTenantId,
        myAppId,
        new ManagedIdentityClientAssertion(myManagedIdentityClientId).GetSignedAssertion,
        myUserAccessToken,
        myOnBehalfOfCredentialOptions)
    .GetTokenAsync(new TokenRequestContext([myScope]), cancellationToken)
    .ConfigureAwait(false);
