Java Agent 3.6.2 not authenticating correctly using managed identity (agent 3.6.1 works great on the same setup)

[luisfeliz79]

Expected behavior

App Insights with local authentication disabled - Java Agent 3.6.2 should authenticate using managed identity

Actual behavior

App Insights with local authentication disabled - Java Agent 3.6.2 is failing to authenticate using managed identity.

To Reproduce

On an Ubuntu Linux Azure VM with the System Assigned managed identity enabled

export APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING='InstrumentationKey=REDACTED;IngestionEndpoint=https://eastus2-3.in.applicationinsights.azure.com/;LiveEndpoint=https://eastus2.livediagnostics.monitor.azure.com/;ApplicationId=REDACTED'

export APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_AUTHENTICATION_STRING=Authorization=AAD

java -javaagent:"applicationinsights-agent-3.6.2.jar" -jar /path/to/jar
