Is it possible to create Active directory Authentication for Shinyapps.io using Azure

Question

If I want to create an Active Directory for Shinyapps.io with Azure functionality what are all the methods that I need to follow? Is there any subscription plan that needs to be used? Is it possible to achieve these functionalities in Azure?

Answer 1

Hello,

Based on what you asked I interpreted it as you want to be able to authenticate to Azure AD from Shiny. Just from some quick research I have found the following documentation:

Authenticating from Shiny (for Azure AD Token)

https://cloud.r-project.org/web/packages/AzureAuth/vignettes/shiny.html

Because a Shiny app has separate UI and server components, the interactive authentication flows require some changes. In particular, the authorization step (logging in to Azure) has to be conducted separately from the token acquisition step.

Answer 2

the following is the plan for r studio

https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/rstudio-5237862.rstudio-connect?tab=PlansAndPrice&exp=ubp8

it is quite expensive and also there is no direct method for Azure AD integration

you need to edit code and add new functionality by yourself
