How do I verify I have my App Servers running under my managed identity?

Question

Hi all;

I believe, many months ago, that I got my app servers (prod & dev slots) running under my managed identity.

How do I verify I have that configured right?

thanks - dave

Hi @David Thielen you can via the Azure portal or Azure CLI for verification. Please follow the steps below:

Via Azure Portal:

• Sign in to the Azure portal and navigate to the App Service resource group containing your app servers.
• Select the specific App Service where you want to verify managed identity.
• Go to the "Configuration" section and click on "Identity."
• Within the "Identity" blade, check for the following:
  • System assigned: This option should be set to "On" if you've enabled managed identity for your app server.
  • Client ID: A unique identifier should be displayed if a system-assigned managed identity is present.
  • Repeat steps 2 and 3 for both your production and development slots to make sure managed identity is configured on all environments.

Via Azure CLI or PowerShell:

Here's an example using Azure CLI:

az appservice identity show 
  --resource-group <your-resource-group-name> 
  --name <your-app-service-name>

Best,

Grace
