Research direction

Start by investigating how a standalone Durable Functions Monitor reads DFM_ALTERNATIVE_CONNECTION_STRING_* and how Azure identity is configured for storage access. The issue does not name files or tests; done means establishing whether identity-based connections are supported for the alternate storage accounts and documenting the required configuration or limitation.

Description

question

Hi,

I try to use a standalone DFM installation to monitor 4 differents functions.
Set DFM_ALTERNATIVE_CONNECTION_STRING_* for all 4 works well if I set the full connection string with key and so on but is there a way to use DFM identity to connect other storage account ?

Thanks
