existing web app

Add authentication to an existing web app

1. Add the nuget Microsoft.Identity.Web NuGet package

2. Add the following usings at the top of the file

   using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.OpenIdConnect;
   using Microsoft.Identity.Web;

3. In the Program.cs file, after var app = builder.Build();, add:

   builder.Services.AddAuthentication(OpenIdConnectDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
          .AddMicrosoftIdentityWebApp(builder.Configuration.GetSection("AzureAd"));

4. Replace services.AddRazorPages() by:

     services.AddRazorPages().AddMvcOptions(options =>
     {
      var policy = new AuthorizationPolicyBuilder()
                    .RequireAuthenticatedUser()
                    .Build();
                options.Filters.Add(new AuthorizeFilter(policy));
     }).AddMicrosoftIdentityUI();
    }

5. After app.UseAuthentication(), use:

     app.UseAuthentication();
     app.UseAuthorization();
   
     // More code
     app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
     {
      endpoints.MapRazorPages();  // If Razor pages
      endpoints.MapControllers(); // Needs to be added
     });
    }
