Please can someone explain how exactly authentication works in Azure SignalR service for the server side and client side communication? does the client actually authenticate to Azure SignalR service?
And what does this statement actually means "Azure SignalR Service only supports Azure AD authentication for the management plane but not for the data plane."

Thank you

    Hello @Banerjee, Somdutta , a SignalR client connection requires a connection token which is issued by the SignalR Auth API and signed using an Azure AD access token issued by Azure AD to the security principal backing your App Server and which is the one that calls the Auth API. For more information take a look to Client-side authentication while using Azure AD.

    Azure SignalR Service only supports Azure AD authentication for the management plane but not for the data plane means that clients will get authenticated using a SignalR, not Azure AD, issued tokens.
