Adding authentication on Azure Static Web Apps

Question

I have deployed a very simple Azure Static Web Apps in which I deploy a simple documentation site powered by mkdocs (HTML and CSS). I would like to know if it is possible to implement some kind of authentication through Azure AD/MSAL in which only enterprise users could log in using their email and password.

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible. Azure Static Web Apps provides a streamlined authentication experience. By default, you have access to a series of pre-configured providers, or the option to register a custom provider.

• Any user can authenticate with an enabled provider. Once logged in, users belong to the anonymous and authenticated roles by default.
• Authorized users gain access to restricted routes by rules defined in the staticwebapp.config.json file. Users join custom roles via provider-specific invitations, or through a custom Azure Active
• Directory provider registration.
• All authentication providers are enabled by default.
  • To restrict an authentication provider, block access with a custom route rule.
• Pre-configured providers include:
  • Azure Active Directory
  • GitHub
  • Twitter
