Description
_This issue was originally opened by @lukasmrtvy as hashicorp/packer#7606. It was migrated here as a result of the [Packer plugin split](https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/issues/8610#issuecomment-770034737). The original body of the issue is below._
Why Packer does not respect ~/.azure/azureProfile.json file for authentication to Azure Active Directory ?
Its really shame, because Terraform can handle it, also Ansible -> I can build unified flow, but here comes Packer and I am screwed.
Or is possible to somehow convert ~/.azure/azureProfile.json to Packer Azure "special" credentials format?
Thanks

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating the plugin's Azure authentication handling and comparing it with ~/.azure/azureProfile.json; done should mean the profile is supported or the conversion path and limitation are clearly documented.
