Description

Hi,

The docs don't seem to suggest it is but thought I'd double check -- Does sops support Azure CLI login as an authentication method, making use of the generated ~/.azure/accessTokens.json file to provide auth rather than Client ID/Client Secret?

It would be great for users to be able to encrypt/decrypt using sops with their normal user account (Which is tied to groups to manage permissions, and provides auditability). Needing a service principal for user access means either creating a service principal per user or sharing a service principal amongst users, neither of which seem ideal (As I understand it, very new to Azure).

Any pointers if it is possible would be much appreciated!

Cheers
