Supporting the On-Behalf-of flow with managed service identities

Viewed 881

A very common flow for applications running in Azure and App Services is the on-behalf-of flow where the app can exchange an incoming access token along with its ClientId/ClientSecret to get access to another resource as the user. Looking at the current, limited, docs on the MSI API, I only see getting an access token as the app itself.

How/when will the OBO scenario be supported?

I am aware that you could store the ClientId/ClientSecret in Key Vault and then use the MSI creds to retrieve those, but that seems redundant.
