Hi @Kuldeep Y

Thank you for posting this in Microsoft Q&A.

I understand you want to know how to use Azure Active Directory Authentication in .NET 8 Blazor web app template with auto Render Mode and which packages need to install.

Blazor uses the existing ASP.NET Core authentication mechanisms to establish the user's identity. The exact mechanism depends on how the Blazor app is hosted, server-side or client-side.

Auto render mode means it Interactive server-side rendering using Blazor Server initially and then client-side rendering on subsequent visits after the Blazor bundle is downloaded.

Please go through the below document: ASP.NET Core Blazor authentication and authorization

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.

Thanks,

there is no proper documentation at this point. see these threads:

https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/issues/48772

https://github.com/dotnet/AspNetCore.Docs/issues/29452

the latest template supports individual accounts. this is has the sample client authentication provider initialized by the server code. you should change the server code to use azure ad authentication.
