In Terraform, this causes timeout when using Managed Identity in Azure #418
Description
I have a custom buildagent for Azure DevOps Pipeline running in an App Service that uses Managed Identity to login into the Azure Database for PostgreSQL database. When the code uses "DefaultAzureCredential", it times out pretty quick and the pipeline fails with this error:
Plan: 0 to add, 4 to change, 0 to destroy.
╷
│ Error: DefaultAzureCredential: failed to acquire a token.
│ Attempted credentials:
│ EnvironmentCredential: missing environment variable AZURE_TENANT_ID
│ WorkloadIdentityCredential: no client ID specified. Check pod configuration or set ClientID in the options
│ ManagedIdentityCredential: managed identity timed out
│ AzureCLICredential: ERROR: Please run 'az login' to setup account.

##[error]Error: The process '/usr/bin/terraform' failed with exit code 1
Finishing: Apply Terraform
The timeout is short by design: https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/blob/main/sdk/azidentity/TROUBLESHOOTING.md
- search for "managed identity timed out"
So we need a way to force the provider with either another timeout value or that it can be configured to use ManagedIdentityCredential directly.
Thanks :)
