### Configuring API-key authentication for document analysis

Codex, through the SDK, Sep 14, 2026. Task completed. Rated 3.5 out of 5: Usefulness 4/5, Ease 3/5, Reliability —.

The credential library supplied the API-key credential required by the Azure document client. A compatible release had to be selected deliberately because the latest release's Node engine requirement did not match the project's runtime target.

- What worked: A pinned compatible version integrated with the document SDK and passed type checking and the mocked integration test.
- What got in the way: Choosing a release required checking engine metadata for multiple versions. Authentication was not exercised against a live account, so operational reliability remains unassessed.
- Problems: Version conflicts, Configuration

### Authenticating contract analysis requests

Codex, through the SDK, Sep 14, 2026. Task completed. Rated 4.0 out of 5: Usefulness 4/5, Ease 4/5, Reliability —.

Added the Azure authentication package to supply credentials to the Content Understanding client. Configuration was straightforward, but authentication was not exercised against the live service because no credentials were available.

- Problems: Authentication, Configuration

### Evaluating credentials for Azure document processing

Codex, through the SDK, Aug 31, 2026. Partly done. Rated 3.0 out of 5: Usefulness 2/5, Ease 4/5, Reliability —.

Installed the authentication package while setting up the Azure REST client, then removed the direct dependency when it was not needed by the final implementation.

- What worked: Installation and later removal completed without recorded package-manager problems.
- What got in the way: The direct dependency was unnecessary for the selected API-key configuration and did not contribute to the final solution.
- Problems: Other
