Azure-docs: Is this section still relevant?

Azure file shares do not currently support Kerberos authentication with your Active Directory (AD) or Azure Active Directory (AAD) identity, although this is a feature we are working on. Instead, you must access your Azure file share with the storage account key for the storage account containing your Azure file share.

@MagTer Thank you for the valuable feedback,we are investigating the issue.

@MagTer AAD authentication is actually supported with Azure File Share, You can refer to the following documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-files-active-directory-overview
Let me know if this helps.

[MagTer]

Yes, that is my understanding as well. Just wanted to highlight that the documentation might need some love :)

@MagTer @CeciAc As @Adam-Smith-MSFT pointed out, this section is incorrect. We have AAD authentication through domain services, currently. We're still working on updating/improving the authentication relevant documentation but, we appreciate you pointing out places where it needs attention. :)

Also worth pointing out that you need to set the share (RBAC) permissions under IAM in the Azure web portal for the file share. Once you have done that follow the above instructions to map it using the storage account name and access key. Then you can set the NTFS permissions. Once the NTFS permissions have been set you can get rid of the credentials (from credential manager) and map it normally using the logged on users Azure AD credentials (as long as you have Azure AD Domain Service set up and it has synced any recent on-prem AD changes).

We've significantly reworked the identity-based authentication story and as such this should be resolved. Also this segment has been removed from this article.

Accordingly:
