RKSAD0005

Why this is deprecated

Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.UserCredential is part of the Rokstep.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.Shims shim library. The original library is abandoned or deprecated. This diagnostic ID (RKSAD0005) fires at build time to guide you toward the modern replacement.

Obsolete message: Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.UserCredential is from the deprecated ADAL library. In this Rokstep shim v0.2, UserCredential is a data-holder stub; the interactive flow that consumes it is planned for v0.3. For new code, use Microsoft.Identity.Client.PublicClientApplicationBuilder and .AcquireTokenInteractive(…). See https://dev.rokstep.eu/migrations/RKSAD0005 for migration guidance.

What you can do

Option 1 — Drop-in shim (zero code changes)

Install the shim package and keep using the existing API. The shim compiles your code but emits this warning at build time.

dotnet add package Rokstep.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.Shims

Option 2 — Migrate to the modern alternative

Replace Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.UserCredential with from.
