Azure-sdk-for-net: Add support for ADAL.NET 4.x
I would like to install and use ADAL.NET Version 4.4.0 in my project, because a login to Azure sometimes crashing and these bugs seems to be already resolved in Adal 4.x
Install-Package Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory -Version 4.5.0
Install-Package : NU1608: Detected package version outside of dependency constraint: Microsoft.Rest.ClientRuntime.Azure.Authentication 2.3.6 requires Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.Ac
tiveDirectory (>= 3.14.0 && < 4.0.0) but version Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory 4.5.0 was resolved.
Please remove constrain < 4.0.0 and add support for ADAL.NET 4.x

The same for me. What is the reason to keep this constraint ?

@qub1n I hear you and I understand the frustration.
But we have been hit hard in the past with breaking changes in ADAL.
But we are working towards a better solution and should be able to release a package that will honor latest version of ADAL when needed.
I am sorry we do not have a quick fix for now, but please let me know what is their in ADAL 4.x that you don't get in Adal 3.x

@shahabhijeet I think the big issue is that lots of Azure packages require ADAL 4+ as a dependency, so having a hard requirement of less than 4 breaks the usage of those packages. It isn't a reliance on 3.x features versus 4.x features, it's more of other packages that are in use require 4.x.

Actually I have been struggling with some random and rare race conditions in Adal 3. The in which is Adal3 crashing file has been completely rewritten in Adal 4 so I hoped it could be fixed. Or I have a bug in my code, I just wanted tried the latest.
Furthermore Adal 3 TokenCache is binary and Adal 4 TokenCache also support JSON format.

We'd also love to see the dependency version of Microsoft.Rest.ClientRuntime.Azure.Authentication updated updated.

@qub1n @jonmill can you use the latest version of the auth library 2.3.8

@shahabhijeet - does that mean that there's a different auth library for the management package than for the rest of the azure packages? Everything else seems to use Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory not Microsoft.Rest.ClientRuntime.Azure.Authentication. Just trying to understand since I have a different dependency on Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory due to KeyVault

2.3.8 is the new version of Azure.Authentication library.
This just allows you to get latest ADAL pacakges, we had a upper limit on our Auth library, but now it has been extended, so you can upgrade ADAL pacakges to 4.x

Awesome, this looks to build for me without any warnings. Thank you for the update!
