Issue

We would like to use Azure Blob Storage for documents and media, as described at https://learn.liferay.com/web/guest/w/dxp/system-administration/file-storage/other-file-store-types/microsoft-azure-blob-storage

Currently we use the azure account key as authentication for connecting to blob storage. Can we also utilize managed identities or other authentication possibilities than the account key?
