Adding Authentication to Static Assets in Azure Front Door Cache

Question

My customer wants to secure assets cached in Front Door, and wanted to know if Entra/WAF/Front Door provides features to add authentication/authorization to the static cache. They would like to avoid regional computation and perform checks at edge; however, I am not sure if a configuration exists.

Answer 1

Hello Audrey Long, performing edge compute at Azure Front Door isn't available as of today. Similarly, there isn't a mechanism to natively add AuthN/AuthZ to the static cache.

Answer 2

@Audrey Long

Thank you for reaching out.

I understand you wish to know if Azure Front Door supports any features to add authentication/authorization to the static content.

The product team is currently working on MTLS feature for Azure Front Door but I currently do not have an ETA on when this feature will be released. This feature has been a popular ask for Azure Front Door, more details here.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you!
