get workspace failed azuremlsdk - AuthenticationException

Question

I have created a workspace in our azure environment and try to run this code:

library(azuremlsdk)

ws <- get_workspace(
    name = "someworkspace", 
    subscription_id = "si1", 
    resource_group ="rg1"
)

Some interactive authenticator opens in my browser, which I think is intended behaviour as I have no tenantdid. However, I get this:

Performing interactive authentication. Please follow the instructions on the terminal.
Note, we have launched a browser for you to login. For old experience with device code, use "az login --use-device-code"
You have logged in. Now let us find all the subscriptions to which you have access...
Interactive authentication successfully completed.

        "inner_error": {
            "code": "Authentication"
        },
        "message": "Could not retrieve user token. Please run 'az login'"
    }
}

I also tried:

az login

This works fine. So for me all this is very confusing!

Answer 1

So I tried the same in Python and had a similar error and came across this:

https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/issues/16035

Downgrading:

 PyJWT 

helped. The bizarre world of open source and its web of interdependencies!

Answer 2

As @cs0815 mentioned, this Github issue helped me solve this issue: https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/issues/16035

What I did to solve this issue?

1. Check package versions

I had azure-core version 1.15.0 when I run the following command:

pip show azure-core

The PyJWT I had was 2.1.0 when I run this command:

pip show PyJWT

2. Downgrade PyJWT to 1.7.1

To do so, I run this command:

python -m pip install --upgrade PyJWT==1.7.1

3. Check Workspace connection

I run this Python script to connect to my Azure Machine Learning Workspace:

import azureml.core
from azureml.core import Workspace

print("Ready to use Azure ML", azureml.core.VERSION)

#Store first the workspace connection information in a JSON.
#This can be downloaded from the Azure portal or the workspace details
#pane in Azure Machine Learning studio.
ws = Workspace.from_config('config.json')
print(ws.name, "loaded")
