Scoutsuite: Azure Authentication Error

[sidewinder31]

I am getting the below error while running ScoutSuite against an Azure Subscription

Issue occurs while running ScoutSuite on a Debian distribution, otherwise works fine on Ubuntu

`$~: python3 scout.py azure --cli --subscriptions [[redacted]] --debug

I see you're running python 3.9 which I'm not sure we've tested. Could you try with 3.8?

Also how have you installed the tool?

[lowSoA]

As @j4v mentioned, python 3.9 could run into some errors, but 3.8 should work fine. Take a look at the wiki on how to install, otherwise you could try to run ScoutSuite in a Docker container

[x4v13r64]

@lowSoA did you confirm 3.9 is what triggers the issue? Would make sense since the dependency (https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python) doesn't support it.

Can we close this then?

[sidewinder31]

Tool works fine as on Python 3.8.5

I used the below commands to setup the tool:

git clone https://github.com/nccgroup/ScoutSuite/
cd ScoutSuite
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 setup.py install

[x4v13r64]

Thanks @sidewinder31, in that case we'll close this issue.

@sidewinder31 happy to hear that :)

@j4v, I've tried to reproduce the issue with 3.9, but didn't run into the original issue but other ones related to the dependencies in 3.9 (circular imports, etc). Guess we can close the issue and wait for dependecy support for 3.9.
