Azure onboarding previously interpolated federated credential JSON and continued after credential-create failures. Both shell templates now validate issuer/claims and require jq before any Azure CLI call, encode literal claims safely, and stop before deployment or registration when credential creation fails. Terraform enforces the same CUDly input contract, with mock-plan tests in the existing Azure CI matrix.

Refs #91. This is bounded task 2, following AWS task 1 in #459. Keep #91 open for GCP issuer parity, Azure Bicep/ARM role parity, host prerequisites including #131, and cross-path CI/documentation plus shared AWS issuer URL hardening. Issuer syntax and dollar/asterisk rejection are CUDly input policy, not assertions about Azure wildcard expansion or a universal URL validator.

Validation: original rendered scripts fail the new regressions; fixed scripts pass. Original Terraform variables fail expected guard checks; all 24 fixed mock plans pass. Affected race tests, federation API/archive tests, build, pinned lint, rendered ShellCheck, actionlint and actual commit hooks pass. The Azure CI job passes an act dry run. Independent review approved exact commit fa307af after fresh full iacfiles race tests and Terraform 1.10.5 mock plans, including a separate literal JSON sibling-key injection probe.

The change is test-heavy: 377 lines cover the explicit shell and Terraform negative/positive matrices. The complete matrix is retained to prove both templates and Terraform reject the same inputs.

Local evidence uses recording az/curl stubs and mocked azuread, azurerm and http providers. Every Terraform run explicitly plans. These checks prove generated-script behavior and local plan validation, not live Azure acceptance. No identities, cloud resources, deployments or registrations were created.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Azure workload identity setup now rejects invalid issuer URLs and empty or unsafe subject and audience values before creating federated credentials.
    • Credential creation failures now stop setup instead of being treated as if a credential might already exist.
    • Explicitly empty configuration values are validated rather than replaced with defaults.
    • Federated credential values containing special characters are handled correctly.
  • Requirements
    • Azure workload identity setup now requires jq.

Validate issuer and claim inputs before Azure CLI calls and require
federated credential creation to succeed before deployment or registration.
Serialize literal claim values with jq and enforce matching Terraform
input validation.

Verify both rendered scripts with recording CLI stubs and run mock-only
Terraform guard plans in the existing Azure CI matrix.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Terraform variables and Azure WIF scripts now validate issuer, subject, and audience values. The scripts use jq to construct federated credential parameters and propagate credential-creation failures. Tests cover Terraform plans, script validation, and credential outcomes.

Changes

Azure WIF validation and credential creation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Terraform identity validation
iac/federation/azure-target/terraform/variables.tf, iac/federation/azure-target/terraform/tests/identity_guards.tftest.hcl, .github/workflows/ci.yml, iac/federation/azure-target/terraform/.terraform.lock.hcl
Terraform variables validate issuer, subject, and audience values. Plan tests cover defaults, literal values, and invalid inputs. The Azure CI matrix step runs Terraform initialization, formatting checks, and tests. The lock file updates provider constraints and hashes.
WIF script validation and credential handling
internal/iacfiles/templates/azure-wif-cli.sh.tmpl, internal/iacfiles/templates/azure-wif-deploy.sh.tmpl, internal/iacfiles/templates_azure_wif_test.go, internal/iacfiles/templates_test.go
Both scripts validate identity inputs, use jq to construct credential parameters, and propagate Azure CLI creation failures. Tests cover input guards, credential outcomes, and rendered template expectations.

The documented Azure generation command can produce Terraform that fails validation; require the issuer URL or update the command before relying on that workflow.

Record authenticated Linux package hashes alongside existing Darwin hashes
so readonly initialization can be followed by mock-plan tests on CI.
Keep provider versions and archive checksums unchanged.

Verified fresh Linux readonly init and all 24 mock plans, plus Darwin
checks. Removing only the new Linux hashes reproduces the CI failure.

🟡 Minor · Require --cudly-api-url for Azure targets. · variables.tf:19-30

iac/federation/azure-target/terraform/variables.tf:19-30
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Require --cudly-api-url for Azure targets.

The documented Azure generator command omits this flag, and the flag defaults to an empty value. azure-wif.tfvars.tmpl then emits cudly_issuer_url = "/oidc". The validation added here rejects that value, so Terraform plan can fail for the documented standalone Azure workflow. Require a nonempty URL before rendering Azure output and update the command example.
