Anyone know if it is possible to use Service Principal certificates to access azure from the Pulumi config settings instead of just ClientSecret? Terraform uses `ARM_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD` and `ARM_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_PATH`, wondering if Pulumi has an equivalent. Couldn't find any docs.

<@UE1Q8H405> I used to work on terraform and we never supported it there AFAICR - the terraform provider that supported that was the azure service manager provider (not azurerm) and it was deprecated

I’m not 100% sure but I’m pretty sure that pulumi is tracking the work from terraform-provider-azurerm

<@UHTP242EB> <https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/azurerm/auth/service_principal_client_certificate.html> was where I had found it, maybe I am looking at the wrong place then?

Ah glad I said I’m not 100% sure - checking the pulumi codebase now - 2 mins

ok, it doesn't look like it's supported - I think it would be useful to open a GH issue with this with the link you gave me. I've been using Azure for a while and I've never used that specific feature so it may have slipped through here as well

Thanks <@UHTP242EB> OK, I will open up something there. To be honest, I have not either, just noticed Terraform has the ability, so I wanted to give it a try out of curiosity in Pulumi.

ok, I am just making a build right now to opena  PR

haha, a pull request before I was even able to create the issue, guess it was trivial to implement?

yeah it was just missing 3 of the provider params - so it wasn't anything bad :slightly_smiling_face:

cool thanks, I will subscribe and monitor
