[QUERY] Does the App Authentication library support .NET Core (for requesting SQL Database) ?

[TechWatching]

Query/Question
In .NET Framework, I am using App Authentication library with Microsoft.Data.SqlClient Active Directory Interactive authentication mode to authenticate and query an Azure SQL Database without any code change as described in this blog post.

Active Directory Interactive authentication mode is now available for .NET Core in Microsoft.Data.SqlClient but I don't know what is the support of App Authentication library for .NET Core. It there a mechanism similar to what is done in .NET Framework to make authentication work simply by setting some configuration and a connection string with "Authentication=Active Directory Interactive" instead of having to manually retrieve the access token and setting it in the SqlConnection.

See related issue #dotnet/SqlClient#735

Environment:

• Name and version of the Library package used: Microsoft.Azure.Services.AppAuthentication 1.5.0
• Hosting platform or OS and .NET runtime version (dotnet --info output for .NET Core projects): Windows 10 .NET Core 3.1.402
• IDE and version : Visual Studio 16.7.4

@TechWatching Unfortunately, we do not yet support the SqlAppAuthenticationProvider scenario for .NET Core. We have a feature request for this but at this time I can't give a timeline for when this will be available.
