az loginDescription
AZURE_CLI_DISABLE_CONNECTION_VERIFICATION=1had no effect onaz login. The env var only patched post-auth API sessions (via_debug.py), while MSAL's initial OIDC discovery request tologin.microsoftonline.comalways ran withverify=True. Behind TLS inspection proxies (e.g. Zscaler), login failed withSSLCertVerificationError.Root cause:
Identity._msal_app_kwargsnever set MSAL'sverifyparameter.identity.py:_msal_app_kwargsnow passesverify=Falsewhenshould_disable_connection_verify()is true (reusing the existingcore/util.pyhelper). This propagates toPublicClientApplication/ConfidentialClientApplication/SP credentials, covering the login discovery request.verifykwarg by default, andverify=Falsewhen the env var is set.Testing Guide
