VMLogin: Command Line Tool for Passwordless Azure VM Login

A command line tool that allows you to log into your Azure virtual machines using Azure Active Directory credentials, enabling passwordless SSH and RDP.

What is VMLogin?

VMLogin is a command line tool offered by Microsoft Azure that enables you to use your Azure Active Directory credentials to log in to Linux virtual machines in Azure. Instead of using the virtual machine administrator username and password, you can log in using your Azure AD username and password.

This provides several benefits:

  • Eliminates the need to manage separate credentials just for virtual machine access. You can use your regular Azure AD credentials.
  • Enables passwordless SSH and passwordless RDP to your Azure virtual machines.
  • Centralizes identity management in Azure AD, providing features like multi-factor authentication, conditional access policies, single sign-on, etc.
  • Allows you to grant fine-grained permissions to access virtual machines using Azure role-based access control.
  • Fully managed and supported by Microsoft as an Azure first-party service.

The VMLogin capability needs to be enabled on new or existing Azure virtual machines to work. Once enabled, all you need is the Azure CLI and your Azure AD credentials to log in seamlessly to the Linux virtual machines through SSH or RDP. It improves security and makes identity and access management much easier.
