Cause (Documented platform behavior): Incomplete workload identity configuration, or identity binding mode requires enable_azure_proxy (unsupported via DefaultAzureCredential).
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Doc-derived (azure-identity Python troubleshooting guide); other language SDKs have equivalent options with different names.
Other error fragments:
- No matching federated identity record found for presented assertion audience 'api://AKSIdentityBinding'.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Credential skipped as unavailable (env vars missing: pod not labeled/webhook not injecting) or token exchange rejected with AADSTS700211/700212.
- Context
- Product: Azure Identity (Python) / AKS Workload Identity Component: WorkloadIdentityCredential Operation: Pods using DefaultAzureCredential or WorkloadIdentityCredential on AKS (workload identity webhook or identity bindings) Affected versions: unknown Environment: AKS pods Exception: azure.identity.CredentialUnavailableError, azure.core.exceptions.ClientAuthenticationError Packages: azure-identity current (main) Trigger: Missing AZURE_CLIENT_ID / AZURE_TENANT_ID / AZURE_FEDERATED_TOKEN_FILE (and AZURE_AUTHORITY_HOST for DefaultAzureCredential); or identity-binding clusters without the proxy option.

Proposed fix: [azure-identity on AKS] 'WorkloadIdentityCredential authentication unavailable. The workload options are not fully configured' / AADSTS700211-700212 'No matching federated identity recor
Recommended action: Ensure the webhook injects the env vars (service account annotation/pod label per AKS docs) or pass client_id/tenant_id/token_file_path explicitly; for AKS identity bindings construct WorkloadIdentityCredential(enable_azure_proxy=True) directly, not via DefaultAzureCredential.
