App Service – Enable Entra ID Registration
This check ensures that Azure Web Applications are integrated with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) to provide centralized identity management and secure authentication.
Check Details
- Resource: Azure App Service (Web App)
- Check: Enable Registration with Entra ID
- Risk: Without Entra ID integration, applications may rely on weak or unmanaged authentication mechanisms, increasing the risk of unauthorized access.
Remediation via Azure Portal
-
Log in to the Azure Portal.
-
Navigate to App Services and select the affected Web App.
-
In the left-hand menu, select Authentication.
-
Click Add identity provider.
- Select Microsoft as the identity provider.
-
Choose Create new app registration
or select an existing registration under your Entra ID tenant.
- Click Add and then Save to enable authentication.
Remediation via Azure CLI
-
Open Azure Cloud Shell or a local terminal with Azure CLI installed.
-
Enable Microsoft Entra ID authentication for the Web App:
az webapp auth microsoft update \ --resource-group <resource-group> \ --name <web-app-name> \ --client-id <app-registration-client-id> \ --client-secret <app-registration-client-secret>
-
Verify authentication configuration:
az webapp auth show \ --resource-group <resource-group> \ --name <web-app-name>
Replace <resource-group>,
<web-app-name>,
<app-registration-client-id>, and
<app-registration-client-secret> with your actual values.
