Azure App Service – Configure Basic Authentication

azurehttp-basic-authentication

For different reasons I'm using Azure's App Service to serve static files. I would like to secure this access by Http Basic Authentication which is enough for my purposes. How can I do that? I tried uploading .htpasswd but it does not seem to work.

I'm not using ASP.NET so no way to do it in code. In Azure's portal I see options like Google, Facebook, Twitter login under App Service -> Authentication/Authorization but it's huge overhead for me.

Currently, it is not possible. Azure webapp does not support this.

HTTP Basic Authentication – Can You Pass User/Pass in URL Parameters?

It is indeed not possible to pass the username and password via query parameters in standard HTTP auth. Instead, you use a special URL format, like this: http://username:password@example.com/ -- this sends the credentials in the standard HTTP "Authorization" header.

It's possible that whoever you were speaking to was thinking of a custom module or code that looked at the query parameters and verified the credentials. This isn't standard HTTP auth, though, it's an application-specific thing.

Nginx – Using nginx: require authentication when request from public IP, not needed when local

There is typo in above config. The connection is from 10.1.1.157, but the configuration file just allows from 10.1.0.0/24.

The fix is simple: Change the problematic line to the following one:

allow 10.1.1.0/24;
