2024-12-02: Use built-in auth for Azure Container Apps
This release configures built-in auth for Azure Container Apps deployments when you enable the user login feature. Previously, we only supported built-in auth for App Service, so user login was handled entirely by the MSAL SDK for Azure Container Apps. Now, with built-in auth on ACA, the user will be prompted to login before they ever see the chat application, and the frontend will reuse the tokens from the built-in auth service.
If you have an already deployed app on Container Apps using the login feature, you may want to ask users to clear their localStorage and cookies to get the new login experience.
Here are screenshots of the new login experience-
Visiting the URL immediately redirects to the auth tenant login screen:
After successful login, it redirects back to the app, and the user sees their logged in email:
