Yes, we have Managed Identity in ADF.

The response when we get after the execution is a 401 Error type (unauthorized).

We used the Advanced settings configuration in the Function App and used the following information from the App Service app:
Client ID
Tenant ID
Client secret
Application ID URI
We retrieved the information from the Overview tab from the App Service app. Copy-pasted it into the Function App configuration and followed the steps from the documentation.

We aren’t using a web app (in this case it is ADF) and maybe that’s the confusing part when following the steps from the documentation, as ADF is the one who is calling the function.
