Integrate Azure App Configuration with Service Connector

This page shows supported authentication methods and clients, and shows sample code you can use to connect Azure App Configuration to other cloud services using Service Connector. You might still be able to connect to App Configuration using other methods. This page also shows default environment variable names and values you get when you create the service connection.

Supported compute services

Service Connector can be used to connect the following compute services to Azure App Configuration:

  • Azure App Service
  • Azure Functions
  • Azure Container Apps
  • Azure Spring Apps

Supported authentication types and client types

The table below shows which combinations of authentication methods and clients are supported for connecting your compute service to Azure App Configuration using Service Connector. A “Yes” indicates that the combination is supported, while a “No” indicates that it is not supported.

Client type System-assigned managed identity User-assigned managed identity Secret/connection string Service principal
.NET Yes Yes Yes Yes
Java Yes Yes Yes Yes
Node.js Yes Yes Yes Yes
Python Yes Yes Yes Yes
None Yes Yes Yes Yes

This table indicates that all combinations of client types and authentication methods in the table are supported. All client types can use any of the authentication methods to connect to Azure App Configuration using Service Connector.

Default environment variable names or application properties and sample code

Use the connection details below to connect compute services to Azure App Configuration stores. For more information about naming conventions, check the Service Connector internals article.

System-assigned managed identity

Default environment variable name Description Sample value
AZURE_APPCONFIGURATION_ENDPOINT App Configuration endpoint https://<App-Configuration-name>.azconfig.io

Sample code

Refer to the steps and code below to connect to Azure App Configuration using a system-assigned managed identity. [!INCLUDE code sample for app config]

User-assigned managed identity

Default environment variable name Description Sample value
AZURE_APPCONFIGURATION_ENDPOINT App Configuration Endpoint https://App-Configuration-name>.azconfig.io
AZURE_APPCONFIGURATION_CLIENTID Your client ID <client-ID>

Sample code

Refer to the steps and code below to connect to Azure App Configuration using a user-assigned managed identity. [!INCLUDE code sample for app config]

Connection string

Warning

Microsoft recommends that you use the most secure authentication flow available. The authentication flow described in this procedure requires a very high degree of trust in the application, and carries risks that are not present in other flows. You should only use this flow when other more secure flows, such as managed identities, aren't viable.
