Describe the bug

Before the CLI change to 'az login --identity' I 'az login --identity --username' to login and the run 'az aks get-credentials'

Related command

 string command = $"-c \"az login --identity --username {manageId} && az aks get-credentials --resource-group {buildInfo.resourceGroupName} --name {buildInfo.clusterName} --overwrite-existing\""; // Command to log in to Azure

 // Create a process start info
 ProcessStartInfo loginInfo = new ProcessStartInfo
 {
     FileName = "bash", 
     Arguments = command, 
     RedirectStandardOutput = true,
     RedirectStandardError = true, 
     UseShellExecute = false 
 };

 // Create and start the process
 using (Process process = new Process())
 {
     process.StartInfo = loginInfo;
     process.Start();

     
     string output = process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
     string error = process.StandardError.ReadToEnd();

     // Wait for the process to exit
     process.WaitForExit();

     // Check exit code
     int exitCode = process.ExitCode;
     if (exitCode == 0)
     {
         // Command executed successfully
         Console.WriteLine("Command executed successfully");
         Console.WriteLine($"Output: {output}");
     }
     else
     {
         // Command failed
         Console.WriteLine($"Command failed with exit code {exitCode}");
         Console.WriteLine($"Error output: {error}");
     }
 }
