How to authenticate with access keys #2789
Description
I've been using an older version of the Blob Storage SDK for a while, mainly because I have a few fixes on a local branch that address some issues with the blob index.
I opened a PR some time ago but didn’t follow through due to considerable changes in how the Blob Storage API works. #1622
I recently revisited this while working with EventHubs and considered updating my dependencies across the board. That’s when I noticed the option to authenticate using an app key has been removed from Blob, and doesn’t appear to exist for EventHubs either. Interestingly, CosmosDB still supports this method.
I'm curious about the reasoning behind the removal of app key authentication in Blob, and whether there are any plans to reintroduce it. I’ve found Access Keys to be a convenient way to configure scoped permissions directly from the portal, especially for internal tools and quick setups.
Would appreciate any insights—thanks!
