Azure functions authentication with ASP.NET Identity and JWT token

Question

I am taking on a new development stack where I am planning to go serverless using the Azure functions.

I am thinking that my application should use ASP.NET Identity to store user credentials and other details. and he should get authenticated across Identity DB using JWT tokens.

I am trying to get hold of some examples that might be helpful to see how to implement ASP.NET Identity in Azure functions. Can anyone point me to the right direction?

Answer 1

i don't think there is a efficient way to do this. because azure functions don't really have a startup or entry point in the entire app where you can plug in oauth , which is usually done in the mvc or web apps in startup.cs or global.asax.

So this has to divert a little bit from how it's done in a web application

maybe this can be of some help
