+
+To obtain an Azure token, the below steps should be taken:
+
+1. Let `U` be a new URL, initialized from the URL string
+   :ts:`"http://169.254.169.254/metadata/identity/oauth2/token"`
+2. Add a query parameter ``api-version=2018-02-01`` to `U`.
+3. Add a query parameter ``resource=TOKEN_AUDIENCE`` to `U`.
+4. If TOKEN_CLIENT_ID is given, add a query parameter ``client_id=TOKEN_CLIENT_ID`` to `U`.
+5. Prepare an HTTP GET request `Req` based on `U`.
+
+   .. note:: All query parameters on `U` should be appropriately percent-encoded
+
+6. Add HTTP headers ``Metadata: true`` and ``Accept: application/json`` to
+   `Req`.
+7. Issue `Req` to the Azure IMDS server ``169.254.169.254:80``. Let `Resp` be
+   the response from the server. If the HTTP response is not completely received
+   within ten seconds, consider the request to have timed out, and return an
+   error instead of an access token.
+8. If `Resp_{status} ≠ 200`, obtaining the access token has failed, and the HTTP
+   response body of `Resp` encodes information about the error that occurred.
+   Return an error including the HTTP response body instead of an access token.
+9. Otherwise, let `J` be the JSON document encoded in the HTTP response body of
+   `Resp`.
+10. The result access token `T` is given as the ``access_token`` string property
+   of `J`. Return `T` as the resulting access token.
+12. The resulting "expires in" duration `d_{exp}` is a count of seconds given as
+    an ASCII-encoded integer string ``expires_in`` property of `J`.
+
+.. note::
+
+   If JSON decoding of `Resp` fails, or the ``access_token`` property is absent
+   from `J`, this is a protocol error from IMDS. Indicate this error to the
+   requester of the access token.

+Azure Automatic Auth
+==================
+
+Drivers MUST be able to authenticate using the "azure" provider workflow, using
+an Azure VM provisioned using the helper scripts in Drivers Evergreen Tools.
+These tests will most likely need to be run in a separate test file from the
+rest of the tests, to avoid needing to skip multiple tests.
