How i can implement managed identity (azure) to access to video indexer services in AZURE? Now the access to video indexer is handled with accessToken. Thank for collaborating.

I try to understand the use of managed identity but is not clear for me. I don't understand how it help us to access without to handle secrets.

Video Indexer have both classic and ARM based paid accounts. Assuming you already using the ARM offering (recommended) you can follow this documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-video-indexer/connect-classic-account-to-arm#after-connecting-to-arm-is-complete

There is an ARM API call that enables you, using MI, to get an access token.

I think your question is familiarizing with Managed Identities in general which is documented here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/overview

And how to get an access token once it is set up as outlined in this API document https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/videoindexer/preview/generate/access-token?tabs=HTTP
