App Service – Enable Entra ID Registration
Secure Configuration Checks > Azure
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.
