Prerequisites

• Visual Studio 2019 or the .NET Core SDK and VS Code.
• An Azure subscription. This sample uses Azure App Services.
• We recommend Azure Tools for VS Code Extension for interacting with Azure services directly within VS Code.

Deployment

We will deploy our web API on Azure App Services.

Publish the Web API

There are two ways to publish the app:

• Publish using Visual Studio
• Publish using Visual Studio Code

Publish using Visual Studio

Follow the instructions at Publish a Web app to Azure App Service using Visual Studio.

Publish using Visual Studio Code

Using a command line interface such as VS Code integrated terminal, follow the documentation Publish an ASP.NET Core app to Azure with Visual Studio Code.

Configure the Web API

On the App Services portal, click on the Configuration blade and set the stack property to .NET Core.

Disabling Microsoft Entra authentication

Still on the App Services portal, click on the Authentication/Authorization blade. There, make sure that the App Services Authentication is switched off (and nothing else is checked), as we are using our own authentication logic.

Modify app.config

1. Open the TodoListClient\app.config file
2. Find the key todo:TodoListBaseAddress and replace the existing value with the Resource Uri that you've just obtained in deploying TodoListService on App Service (e.g. https://my-web-api.azurewebsites.net/).
3. Re-build and run your client application.

Discussion

Here we discuss some of the more important aspects of deploying multi-tenant application suites.

Known Issues

• In case you receive the HTTP Error 500.30 - ANCM In-Process Start Failure error for your Web API on Azure App Services, try adding this line to TodoListService/TodoListService.csproj and re-deploy your project:

   <PropertyGroup>
       <TargetFramework>netcoreapp3.1</TargetFramework>
       <UserSecretsId>aspnet-TodoListService-BA938C29-8BAB-4664-A688-8FD54049C1C3</UserSecretsId>
       <WebProject_DirectoryAccessLevelKey>1</WebProject_DirectoryAccessLevelKey>
       <AspNetCoreHostingModel>OutOfProcess</AspNetCoreHostingModel> // Add this line
   </PropertyGroup>
