EasyAuth implementation for Azure function app

Question

Hi,

As per our current implementation of an enterprise application, we are using Function Key/ API Key to authenticate. Now we need to implement EasyAuth/ Azure AD authentication. Question is do I need to make any explicit code change(i.e. in startup.cs or anywhere) in function app to make it happen? I already made this change "[HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Anonymous, "get", "post", Route = null)] HttpRequest req, ILogger log)". I googled several blogs and confused what to do.

Early reply is highly appreciated

Regards,
Partha

@Pratim Das, Partha C ,

Thanks for reaching out to Q&A.

For enabling easy auth in the Azure function, there are no code changes required on the existing Functions code. The change that you have made can be kept as is. However, if you are calling this http trigger function from another app, then you need to make changes to code of the caller app.

Please refer to the following article that shows how to call a easyauth enabled function api

I hope this helps!
